When I was made to think Hendrick was a specializer on Agility, Intelligence, and Dexterity, Saphira quickly came to tell me I was absolutely wrong. Her stat allocation was completely out of this world in many meanings, and she was just starting now, the more she leveled up, the faster and stronger her magic would become. Despite that, her defensive stats and physical offense were lower, yeah, but compared to my previous self some years ago, she's still way more physically stronger though.
Hendrick and Saphira bring a lot of utility for my party, and the best thing is that, because they're my Spirits, I can also use their Skills and Magic too through Spirit Link, which I quickly made them learn using Skill Points almost instantly. I decided to let them level up the skill up to level 4 using Skill Points, which was 60 Skill Points plus the 20 of learning the Skill, which was enough to allow them to also grab four of my own Skills for themselves.
