Yuffie's strength comes from her versatility, being able to deal both close-range, long-range damage, physical, and magic damage. A Balance Build suits her the most, focusing on survivability as she can be quickly taken down with her low health.

As you can't control Sonon in INTERmission, his main role is Yuffie's Support. He can either specialize in physical or magic depending on his weapon, as long as you can keep him alive and synergize with Yuffie. Making sure Yuffie and himself stay alive is his primary role, with dealing damage with her secondary.
