Summary
Maxwell, the first of the Fallen Gods and the mock unit obtainable from Trial 003, is a threat to the many enemies she faces. Capable of one-shotting many enemies, Maxwell creates an Endless history of the enemies she defeated in the past. Once defeated by the summoner in St. Lamia Palace and again in Trial 003, Maxwell fits perfectly in almost any squad.

Leader Skill
Score: 9/10

Maxwell is notorious for being the Leader of almost all Crit teams. Her Leader Skill provides the highest damage output for dealing damage against weak elements while dealing crits for Fire, Water, Earth, and Thunder elements. For Light and Dark elements, Kira provides the highest damage output for the similar reason.

However, one downside is that you have to use the original element in order for the Elemental Weakness damage boost to take in effect. Using elemental changers like Shida will not work with the Elemental Weakness damage boost.

Brave Burst
Score: 8/10

Maxwell's BB might not contain any additional effects, but it has a high score for a reason. The damage is still relatively high for a BB and the drop checks are amazing. With just her BB, Maxwell can produce a potential maximum of 30 BC with this 15 hit combo. This Drop Check is just as good as Elza's SBB. Using Maxwell's BB is a good alternative if her SBB is not ready yet and if you need BC to fill your BB gauges.

Super Brave Burst
Score: 10/10

Unbelieveable. This SBB has a multiplier of 660%, which is one of the highest ranking SBB multipliers in the game. On top of that, Maxwell gives a 30% crit chance boost to all units, which might not be the best, but it is good enough. The maximum cap for crit chance is 70% and by using Maxwell's SBB, you are already at 40%. Criticals can happen at any rate as it is completely based on RNG.

What is also really amazing is the Drop Check. A Drop Check of 66 BC is insane as this is the HIGHEST Drop Check in the game, only to be tied to Afla Dilith's SBB.

Ultimate Brave Burst
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Ultimate Brave Burst.

Extra Skill
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Extra Skill.

Arena
Score: 9/10

Maxwell is absolutely deadly as an arena unit. Her Drop Checks are very high, which can help with the BB fill for the squad. Her damage is insane as she can potentially one-shot the entire opponents' side with just her BB.

However, Maxwell lacks as a leader. Crits happen by RNG and if you do not land a Critical, her Leader Skill is practically useless. Her Elemental Weakness damage boost can come in handy, but it is very hard to gauge which units the opponent is using during battle preview. The opponent could have a team with units of a certain element to make your units unable to benefit from the Leader Skill.

Stats
Score: 7/10

Maxwell's stats are very well-balanced. However, one disadvantage is that Maxwell is only available as a Lord type so there is no way to bend her stats with the type of your liking. Her HP is relatively low compared to other units in the metagame since Maxwell lacks the Anima typing. Because Maxwell is a huge damage dealer, it is highly advised to give Maxwell the biggest damaging opportunity possible. Blighted Seal + Geldnite Axe combo works wonders.

In terms of typing, my type preference for Maxwell is...

This unit is only available as a Lord type.

Usefulness
Score: 9/10

Maxwell has a place in any team. She provides the highest Drop Check on her SBB in the game so her SBB will benefit your entire squad. She is extremely useful in Raid as she is used primarily as a Leader to deal the most amount of damage possible. In other quests, Maxwell is capable of dealing tons and tons of damage to enemies along with sub-units. Using Maxwell as a Leader will boost your damage output significantly to the point where you can potentially one-shot many enemies.

Conclusion
Total Score: 8.7/10

Maxwell might be tough to get due to the difficulty of her Trial, but all of that grinding you did to prepare for Trial 003 would be worth it in the end. She deals a ton of damage along with other units and most hard content can be easily cleared. Have fun with Maxwell once you defeat her. You will find an Endless list of squads you want to include Maxwell in.
