So let me start by hyping up this Agnes setup. She's mostly been used as support or a mage, but I'm going to show you that she can be just as useful on offense.

So Dark Knight has a bunch of skills that deal dark damage to the enemy. One of these is Black Bane, which deals 1.5 times the damage of a normal attack to all enemies. She also has the ability Gloom, which increase that by a further 1.25. The drawback? It costs 30% of her health to use. But that's not going to be a problem here, because she also has the skillset of the Spell Fencer. Spell Fencers can enchant their weaponry with the effects of a spell. And what is Agnes going to enchant her weapon with, you may ask? Drain. When she hits the enemy with any of her dark arts, Agnes's health with be restored by the same amount she hit the enemy for, which will cancel out the damage she's doing to herself. But that's not all. She's got one more trick up her sleeve. Adversity, which means whenever she loses more than 25% of her total health, all her parameters increase by 10%. This includes the self-inflicted damage from Black Bane. So Agnes is going to be healing, buffing and dealing damage at the same time. Ninja gives her Utsusemi, which allows her to dodge one physical attack. Pretty powerful here considering that Richter's main attacks are physical attacks.

Now that you know what Agnes is capable of, I want to share a little secret about Richter. In his boss fight in SOTN, he's weak to dark element attacks. Here he's fighting someone whose main attack is dark attacks. Agnes is a pretty big counter to him. And that's before he gets outhealed and outbuffed.

Agnes also has one more trump card if things start looking bad. Minus Strike, which does max hp - current hp. So not only will she deal major damage to Richter, she'll heal herself fully thanks to Drain. It's a pretty powerful move to have, and can easily swing the match in her favor.
