Soul Hackers 2 gives players total freedom with how they want to build each of the four party members. There are no limits or restrictions on what demon you choose to equip on whom, letting you completely change the playstyle of a character anytime.
While there aren’t any wrong ways to build a character, there are some ways that are much more efficient than others. Based on Summoner Skills, each character gravitates towards specific elements, so it’s important to prioritize the right one over any others.

Even if it means equipping a weaker demon on a character, you should always prioritize having skills of those elements on each character. You should also prioritize getting the stack boost summoner skills for each character, along with the weakness boost. Stacking these skills and prioritizing these skills will have your party creating two or three Sabbath stacks, a hit depending on whether you’re hitting a weakness or not.
Focus on upgrading the elemental augment upgrades on each person’s COMP that matches the elements listed above, further benefiting this more “one-note” play style. You’ll want an elemental damage boost mystique on each COMP, though, from there you can get creative with that person’s additional role and skills in combat, such as healing, buffing, or debuffing.
To reach S rank affinity with a Mystique, you’ll need to reach the fifth floor of each person’s Soul Matrix, through, due to the importance of the Soul Matrix, shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Each character also falls into one of the two physical categories, which have additional benefits of potentially landing critical hits if you can’t target the weakness of a demon.

Are Augment Or Boost Mystiques Better In Soul Hackers 2
Your overall goal for any fight should be hitting weaknesses to get Sabbath Stacks, and Boost Mistiques further the damage done when hitting a weakness. Overall, these Boost Mistiques will be better for the meta objective of every fight. If you can’t hit a weakness, it may usually be better to switch to a powerful physical attack. You can choose to equip one of each and focus purely on using magic attacks with that character, but it’s not recommended to build everyone like that and have secondary Mistiques focused on support.
