Is Marcus good?
Marcus is a 6-star Plant Mental damage dealer built around Annotate: at the start of each round, if no enemy has it, her passive marks one (bosses first), and every action that enemy takes gives her Eureka. That makes her strong at burst against bosses, and she applies Weakness consistently.
Her kit is self-contained and pairs well with Plant, Spirit and Intellect units, but in three-person content her passive's Afflatus requirements complicate team building.
Pairs well with: 
Mercuria.
Strengths
- High burst against bosses
