General Information About Hecate
Hecate’s starting level is44, and this can be increased if you Fuse her after you’ve started the Lovers (Yukari Takeba) Social Link. If this is your first time summoning/fusing Hecate, then your level won’t matter. Afterwards, you’ll have to be Hecate’s level or higher tosummon her from the compendium again.
Hecate starts off with a powerful Magic stat and moderate stats in everything else. Her low Strength means she’s not good for using Slash/Pierce/Strike Skills. Her innate Skill, Blazing Hell, is great for Downing enemies with a Fire-Affinity weakness. However, you’ll want to be careful if you’re just starting your playthrough. Hecate’s Magic Skills have ahigh SP cost, which means she’s better to use when you have more SP-recovering items and when you’re at a higher level (recommended level: mid-40s).
Here are the skills she learns and her affinities:
