Mmmmm, dunno. I had finished maze 2 with her and I ended with two totally differents teams. My playstyle is:
1 - First half grab all sinergies you can.
2 - After that i grab 1-2 healer 1-2 dps and 1-2 tanks. No bronze units allowed and aim for gold ones.

Maybe just luck but getting level 2 gold units seems easier with her.

I have to say that I tried out Oni and Frog, and they weren't doing it for me. Too little damage compared to other units. I'm not sure how you are running them, but even a gold unit that doesn't fit my build feels better than them.

Oni is a decent early game tank, but you can tank with almost any healer early on, or get blue online and you don't need a tank at all for the first half of the dungeon. In the later floors, death is a much better tank than Oni. Death with orange and green symbols active means you have a dude with 500+ hp that revives endlessly sitting in front. And he also deals pretty insane damage, so you're not wasting a slot on just tanking.

As for OP symbols, beast is probably the strongest DPS symbol in the game. Stack two orange and two beast and you get a backline quad active bombardment to start every fight. You can easily one-shot the witch with this setup.

I find getting through the early game much harder than getting through the end with Zoela. Her gold tier units are so good, and it costs so much to buy her party slots.

I haven't tried the oni (I'm assuming you mean the ogre, since that's how they translated oni) as my tank since his defense stat was so low.

I actually like running burn with Zeola (Flame Emperor, Dragon) but I prefer Black Ghost Knight as my tank (does more damage than Gold Return Frog if he's silver'd, since he doesn't stun himself) and Gunse Mushroom (heals are nice but the gem reduction is extra nice).
I actually feel like there are more build options with Zeola because of how diverse of abilities her units have while being decent units in themselves. Although, Death seems really lackluster...

As for symbols; Zeola has a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ symbols (thief is underwhelming, let's be real). But Hermit and Plant are amazing (spell leech is more interesting than it seems, since more of Zeola's units do magic damage than physical). And Brightblade is more overpowered than I think people realize; those debuffs include stuff like freeze and moonlight. So at 4 debuffs and level 2 fairy, you're pulling 148% more damage just by itself. That's how I killed the witch in 1 turn.

And I agree with Cox, the beginning half of the game is way harder with Zeola than with Amelie. I feel like once you get to the 2nd boss and have a decent build, it's pretty easy from there.

Spell leach will also heal you when enemies deal magic damage to you but the amount is so miniscule to devote on it if the enemies keep spamming magic and don't let it stacks. Brightblade is good but only if your team is a debuff team and does not work for a physical team.

And for the Oni, indeed the defense stat is low but he compensate it with a 60 heal every turn (120 with the double attacks buff and additional 50 with White Symbol so he's more tanky than you thought late game).

And about the magic aspect, I swear to god early game with a magic team is almost impossible to pull of if you meet bosses like the Tree or the Stone Turtle, they just decimate the whole team with one skill since the HP for magic units are low.

But tbh, I would prefer if more characters are added in or buffs for some symbols. Bruh even the Ghost symbol does not even work with itself since it just 1 stack and it's gone when the team attack so the symbol itself only works with Ghost type team since they can give themselves Candy buff so the heal will work.

I didn't realize that enemy magic healed you too. It isn't that low tho; Amelie's healing symbol gives you 8/20 heal and spell leech gives you 6/15. But while healing stays at 8/20 the entire fight, spell leech stacks up to 12/30, which is 50% higher than Amelie's. Also, the value halves at the end of turn, not when attacked, so the enemy's can't force it lower.

Brightblade: AFAIK, everyone is constantly running freeze and either/both shock and burn. There's also no reason to not have moonlight if you can get it. I don't see why you wouldn't be running at least 2 debuffs, which is an easy additional 74% damage.

You make a good point about the Oni tho, he does have a lot of self-heal ability.

Yeah though, I like the ghost symbol but it's only good with one or two ghosts on your team (although Portly Ghost is a solid unit and I also use the Maid Ghost whenever I get candy symbols running). And Zeola's units are fairly weak in the early game which makes it rough, you're more reliant on good spell rolls.

I just solo'd the last boss second form on WM5 with a silver rank Death, so yeah it's a pretty good tank ;)

(a disrupt came at a bad time and she one shot the rest of my party, death just solo'd the entire fight with double action necklace)
