Depending on Sophia's rarity, their resistance is reduced by 80% (5★), by 90% (6★) or by 100% (7★). The number hits also differ: it does two, four or five hits, respectively.
Its damage modifier will depend on Sophia's LB level:
Rarity	Name 	Change in Effect	Change in Effect 	Cost
5★ 	Meteor Swarm	Base (Lv. 1) 	Damage dealt (4x) 	22
5★ 	Meteor Swarm	Max (Lv. 20) 	Damage dealt (5.9x) 	22
6★ 	Meteor Swarm	Base (Lv. 1) 	Damage dealt (7x) 	26
6★ 	Meteor Swarm	Max (Lv. 25) 	Damage dealt (9.4x) 	26
7★ 	Meteor Swarm	Base (Lv. 1) 	Damage dealt (10x) 	30
7★ 	Meteor Swarm	Max (Lv. 30) 	Damage dealt (12.9x)	30
===Equipment===
Sophia can equip the following weapon types: daggers, swords, staves, rods, instruments and throwing weapons.

Her Crescent Rod and her 	Sophia's Hairpin also have one exclusive-effect each for Sophia: the rod's is "Connection Symbol" (recovers Sophia's MP by 5% and increase counter chance by 100%), while accessory's is "Symbologists' Bond" (increase Sophia's MP by 20% and MAG by 50%).
