I am starting this game again, and decided to use Steiner in my battle party this time since I have read that he has amazing strength and defense. But I am wondering something. Is it really worth it to put Vivi in the party so that Steiner can use sword magic? The main drawbacks with Vivi is that he has low HP and defense, and can therefore be killed easily. Basically, I would just like to know people’s opinions on the usefulness of sword magic. The other character that I plan on using is Quina, since s/he has many useful abilities and is essential for fighting Yans.

Thanks in advance for any responses!!
