I also favor speed kills, so never worry about defense stats.

I was torn about whether or not to upgrade my pure Sorcerer pawn to "High Miasma" or leave it at regular "Miasma". Most Sorcerer spells take waaaaaayy too long to cast for my taste (me and my other pawns can finish most battles before High Maelstrom, High Fulmination or High Bolide even charges).

At the end of the day, I recommend upgrading to High Miasma even though it takes about 4 seconds to charge (Miasma only takes about 1.5 seconds). The reason I'd recommend upgrading it is because the enemies you'll need it against the most (like Cursed Dragons, Condemned Gorecyclops, or Living Armor) do not react to being damaged by a Miasma sigil.

With the exception of an initial Dragon heart strike or a dragon horn breaking off, enemies will generally remain within the sigil and absorb the damage without moving away. Exploit that tactical advantage and upgrade Miasma for the Arisen and Main Pawn.

For my Sorcerer pawn, I prefer not to upgrade Comestion, Maelstrom, Seism, Gicel and Bolide for speed reasons since pawns tend to wait for their spells to fully charge before releasing them. They just take too long to cast to be useful, in my opinion. Everything else, I'd upgrade.
