Jeanne

Jeanne is a starting character, one of four female characters currently available.

Skill comparison
Attack Skill
 * Good damage directly in front of Jeanne.
 * Attack travels as party walks, can hit enemies behind the current enemies.
 * Multiple small shots may be hard for player characters to dodge, but players and bosses may not be hit by every small shot.
 * Attack may miss if Jeanne or the targets are too far to the side.
 * Weapon upgrades increase the damage bonus slowly, so Jeanne becomes less appealing at higher levels (compared to other characters).

Ultimate skill
 * Average damage directly in front of Jeanne.
 * Attack travels as party walks, can hit enemies behind the current enemies.
 * Single large shot may be dodged by player characters, but it's nice that it never does partial damage when it hits.
 * Attack may miss if Jeanne or the targets are too far to the side, but the attack is wide enough that it usually hits.

Passive skill
 * Jeanne has a uniquely strong passive skill that stops enemies from attacking or moving by freezing them. This can be useful in defense, especially at higher quest levels.
 * All players and some bosses are immune to freezing, which limits Jeanne's overall value.
 * The freezing also doesn't help the party's damage output, so quest time limits may be a problem.
