On a serious note, I follow a basic rule of thumb when it comes to matters like this. The stronger your character becomes, the smaller their role should get in your stories. It should be proportional. You'd want to examine your characters' strengths and kind of "graph" them in your mind. Those who fit closer to the line should have more prominent roles in a story whereas outliers should have far more minimized roles, if not totally small ones. Using my characters as an example, Seireitou is undoubtedly one of, if not the strongest character, in my pool of characters. He would definitely, however, be an outlier; an extreme one. And as such, his role is reduced to a mentor rather than a straight-to-the-battlefield type. Of course, that is also due in part to his personality, but the thing is, I find that this rule of thumb can be quite helpful if a person is willing to stick to it.
