Fighting Style
Schierke uses powerful, wide range Magic spells to attack her enemies from a distance. The more powerful the spell, the more time it takes to cast, so it is vital for her to keep away from the enemies while she cast. Schierke has several "Sub Weapons" at her disposal to assist her with this. From being able to summon a golem to distract enemies and also being able to cast a spell to root enemies in place.

In "Frenzy Mode", the cool down time on Schierke's special attacks is decreased and she no longer needs time to chant while casting a spell. Also her magic attacks are enhanced. Allowing her to cast a magic spell that deals more damage and has increased range.
