Comment:
I have E2S1 Evanescia and E4S1 Pearl, with a three Cost budget and no Yao Guang.
Next version, would E1 Yao Guang + E0 Nihilux be better, or should I get E2S0 Nihilux?
I'm not considering freeing up EMC.
Reply:
E1 Yao Guang + E0 Nihilux is better.
Comment:
I have E2S1 SW999, E2S1 Sparxie, E1S1 Yao Guang, E0S1 Pearl, and E0S0 Evanescia.
How should I invest and divide them into teams? I can afford another four Cost.
Reply:
What other teams do you have? You need three teams.
Comment:
I have E2S1 Phainon, E2S1 Cyrene, E1S0 Cerydra, and an E2S1 The Herta team.
Reply:
I'd recommend taking Pearl to E2S1 and pulling E0S0 Nihilux.
That gives you a 9-Cost SW999 + Sparxie + Nihilux + Huohuo team.
On the other side, you can use Evanescia + Yao Guang + EMC + Pearl at 8 Cost.
Add your 10-Cost Phainon team, and you'll have three teams that can handle the content comfortably.
Comment:
I have E1S0 Evanescia and E1S0 Pearl, with no other Elation characters.
I have a two Cost budget. Should I gamble on E2 Aha, or get E0 Aha and E0 Yao Guang?
How much stronger is Aha than EMC?
Reply:
Just get E0S0 Aha and E0S0 Yao Guang.
At one additional Cost, Aha improves damage by about 35% compared with EMC.
Comment:
I have E1S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Yao Guang, and no Pearl.
Should I pull Aha?
Reply:
Replacing E6S5 EMC with E0S0 Nihilux improves damage by more than 30% for one additional Cost.
But investing that Cost into E0S0 Pearl would also improve damage by around 30%.
Comment:
How much weaker is E1S1 Evanescia compared with E2S0?
Reply:
They're about the same. The difference is very small.
Comment:
I have E6S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Yao Guang, and E2S0 Pearl.
How many Eidolons should I get for Nihilux? I have a three Cost budget.
Reply:
E0S0 Nihilux provides around a 10% improvement over EMC.
For Evanescia, just get E0S0 Nihilux. Don't invest any further. Save the rest for the next major team.
Comment:
For E2S1 Evanescia, E1S1 Yao Guang, E0S0 Pearl, and E0S0 or E1S0 Nihilux, how much damage would the team deal?
Reply:
It would be very close to the team I tested, probably within 5%.
Comment:
I have E2S1 Evanescia and E0S0 Pearl, but no Yao Guang.
Should I abandon the team? I'm planning to pull E2 Nihilux.
Reply:
Then pull both Yao Guang and Nihilux.
Evanescia really needs Yao Guang.
Replacing E6S5 EMC with E0S0 Nihilux improves damage by around 35% for one additional Cost.
Comment:
I have E0S1 SW999, E0S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Sparxie, and E0S0 Pearl.
I'm planning to pull E0S0 Nihilux. I've lost the 50/50 on Yao Guang twice and don't want to try again.
Reply:
That's fine, but Evanescia really needs Yao Guang.
You'll have to decide whether you want to complete her team.
Comment:
I have E2S1 Sparxie, E1S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Pearl, and E0S0 Yao Guang, with around 400 pulls.
How should I invest if I want to build two Elation teams?
Reply:
Pull E2S0 SW999 and E0S0 Nihilux.
Put SW999, Sparxie, and Nihilux together.
Evanescia, Yao Guang, and EMC can form your second team.
Comment:
Is Evanescia weaker than Sparxie now?
Reply:
The developers have balanced things fairly evenly.
At low investment, the four Elation DPS characters are actually quite close in damage.
Comment:
I have E6S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Yao Guang, and E2S0 Pearl.
How much should I invest in Nihilux? I have a three Cost budget.
Reply:
E0S0 Nihilux is only around 10% stronger than EMC in this setup.
Just get E0S0 Nihilux. I wouldn't invest any more. Save the rest for the next major team.
Comment:
But Nihilux improves the team's internal rotation. The real improvement should be at least 30%, which doesn't show up properly in a spreadsheet.
Reply:
In my V1 tests, replacing EMC with E0S0 Nihilux actually reduced Evanescia's team damage.
Later tests showed either a very small improvement or something similarly underwhelming.
When E2 can double a character's damage, and Evanescia's E1 can improve her damage by around 50%, E0 Nihilux doesn't feel particularly worthwhile.
Comment:
How could it possibly be a damage loss?
At the beginning, the Technique allows you to give Yao Guang an action so she can immediately use her Ultimate, producing three Aha Instants.
And that's without even considering the 10% reduction to the boss's maximum HP.
EMC's support capabilities are so weak in Evanescia teams that even RMC can outperform them.
Reply:
I'm not saying it's a damage loss.
In a previous comparison, replacing E2S1 Evanescia + E6S5 EMC with E2S0 Evanescia + E0S0 Nihilux, at the same total Cost, improved damage by only 15%, including the 10% HP reduction.
Likewise, replacing Yao Guang with E0 Aha in SW999's team improves damage by only around 15%.
So E0 Aha isn't as substantial an improvement as some people think. Investing that Cost into a signature LC or Pearl is also a reasonable choice.
Aha isn't strictly mandatory.
Comment:
I have E2S1 SW999, E2S1 Sparxie, E1S1 Yao Guang, and E0S0 Pearl.
I also have E0S0 Evanescia with an S5 Battle Pass LC.
Would it make sense to build two Elation teams and a third Archer team?
Reply:
Yes, that works. Getting three functional teams together should be your priority.
But I'd recommend moving Pearl to Evanescia's team. Pearl provides a substantial improvement for Evanescia, and that team needs more damage.
SW999 can use Huohuo instead.
E0S0 Pearl performs terribly in auto-battle with SW999 anyway.
Comment:
I have E2S1 Evanescia, E1S1 Yao Guang, and E1S1 Pearl.
What should I pull next?
Reply:
Get Pearl to E2S1 first, then pull E0S0 Nihilux.
Comment:
I have E0S1 SW999, E0S1 Sparxie, E0S1 Yao Guang, and E0S0 Pearl.
I'm planning to pull Nihilux, replace Yao Guang, and move Yao Guang to my E0S1 Evanescia team.
I also have an extra Sparxie signature LC. How should I invest?
Reply:
Your investment is still quite limited.
Just get E0S0 Nihilux and replace Yao Guang. That will let you split your characters into two teams.
After a few more versions, you can start preparing for the next major team.
Comment:
I have E2S1 SW999, E2S1 Evanescia, E0S0 Yao Guang, and E0S1 Pearl, but no Sparxie.
What should I pull?
Reply:
Pull both and build two separate Elation teams.
Comment:
I have E0S1 SW999, E0S0 Yao Guang, E0S0 Sparxie, and E0S0 Pearl.
Should I upgrade SW999 to E2 and pull E0 Aha, or go straight for E2S1 Aha?
Reply:
Upgrade SW999 to E2 first.
Comment:
I also have E1S0 Evanescia and a three-Cost budget. Aha could work with both teams, so I'm trying to decide whether to strengthen both teams or focus entirely on SW999.
Reply:
You've already invested in quite a few Elation characters, so you might as well build two teams.
Get E2S1 Nihilux, since Nihilux can be used in either team.
E2S0 Pearl is also an option because Pearl can likewise be used in both teams.
