Is Hoshiguma good?
Most Defenders only ever hit one enemy at a time, but Hoshiguma's third skill sweeps every enemy standing in front of her instead, which makes her clearing power a genuine reason to push her to Elite 2. Her talent also raises the defense of other Defenders fielded alongside her, so she's best used as the anchor of a multi-Defender line rather than on her own.
She earns her keep on stages where enemies keep streaming in from more than one direction or pile up in a single lane, and backing her line with a 
Medic makes it hold even better.
Strengths
- Hits every enemy in front of her rather than a single target
- Buffs the defense of other Defenders on the field
