Maggie is the hardest difficulty of the MythForce characters, her difficulty rating being the max of three stars. However, some of us like magic, and she’s the only magic-focused character in the roster. Here’s a quick MythForce playguide for Maggie.

Maggie is the archetypal glass cannon/squishy wizard build, tying with Rico for the lowest base HP of all the characters. While playing as her, you have to stay away from enemies and allow the other party members, particularly Victoria, to brave the frontlines. You are a ranged caster and should be away from the thick of the action. If you do find an enemy close by, your alternative weapon is good in a pinch to quickly dispose of an enemy. Snap is a good ability to continuously keep your position ideal. Use it to teleport away from the thick of battle and prevent yourself from being rushed by enemies.
Your default fireballs are good for enemies closing in, or to finish them off. Use the charged attack to more easily take out multiple enemies at once while other party members fight them close ranged.
Barrier is your most versatile ability, and given it has the longest cooldown, you have to be smart about how to use it. Using it on the center of a battle to protect allies and inflict damage to enemies is a good rule of thumb. But it’s not a bad idea to set it down while charging into battle or when you’ve enemies too close to yourself to save you in a pinch.
This should help you to inflict fiery doom upon your enemies with some arcane bird magic in the mix. Now you’re on your way to mastering the ways of Maggie.
