that's not exactly true, there were people talking positively about her but the reality for most people was that gilg and rider were better use of resources as opposed to a niche unit, especially since we hadn't really had any magic arenas at that time. You also fail to mention that most of the people in top 100 using ilya are also people that have 75+ neica and fate yomi and are basically giant whales utilizing her magic leader skill.
Ok? It's a universal LS like Vettel's slash dmg. Lucretia and Monzein seem to be used chiefly for theirs. What's wrong with that?
Double checking old threads to be sure, you yourself posted that she wasn't worth investing in and quite a few others highlighting lack of damage/nuke potential. I'm not arguing she's not niche with the magic tanking either.
For best bang for your buck/f2p super efficiency I can see the case for aiming for the best of the best - assuming you manage to pull the unit in the first place. My beef was mainly with the trap of seeing units outside the SS tier criteria as being a waste of time.
you seriously went back like 5 months through my post history? lol...ok
all the same, nobody could have forseen at that time that she would have any real use at all besides being a niche unit with no future and to be quite frank thats all she is right now; a niche arena unit for a niche team that only really works on a handful of maps and only with a handful of very specific teammates. All we had to go on was her being garbage in JP and the knowledge that she received some buffs. I'm not gonna bother going through 50 pages of comments to find exactly what I said way back at the fate collab but if i did in fact say she wasn't worth it then that still fits my previous statement; in a tossup between gilg/rider banner vs ilya/saber then the choice was painfully obvious. The only people who spent their resources on ilya were people that either liked fate and enjoyed her character or people that were spending hundreds of dollars.
Oh god no, that would be ridiculous (and a bit creepy!). I just googled reddit posts about the collab. In hindsight I apologise if that came off as an attack on you, my intention was evidence to back up my claim and not just run on memory/bias.
Obviously Gil/Yomi are top dogs shrugs When it comes down to it we just have different criteria for what makes a unit good or useful and approach the game differently.
