what is the difference between character attack and elemental attack?

The oversimplified damage formula is CharacterAttack*ElementalAttack.

The part which makes Character attack far weaker is that Assault from your weapon Grid is the same thing. So once you upgrade your Grid, Elemental becomes really good when compared to Character. So ideally, upgrade your Grid and use Elemental Eidolons.

The exception to that is, if you have Elemental advantage, you can use one Elemental attack and one Character+HP Eidolon. You'll do slightly less damage, but the 20% HP can be better depending on how much you need to survive. But again, only use this when you NEED the HP AND have Elemental advantage.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. One more question how does the heal power work? i have atum at level 80 and she only heals ~1200 but on the wiki it says she has a 2000hp heal

All heals are based on the maximum HP of characters - the listed number for the heal (like 2000 in this case) is the heal's CAP. Usually, all heals easily hit the cap amount. But, for new players who don't yet have 6x LMB SSR Eidolons equipped, they might not have enough max HP to get the full heals.

So I assume you're fairly new to the game? As you get stronger, that heal will get stronger and stronger until it hits 2000.

I'm rank 60 and these are my eidolons

Well, you have two LMB SSR Eidolons, so your HP pool is still fairly low. Once you have six, then you should easily be able to heal for the cap regardless of Hime.

honestly, once you pull SSR eidolons to where they give more than an event one, they aren't a scam... unless it's strictly character attack with either burst damage up or ability damage up. those character attack ones are situational...

there's a rare instance where I might stick Huanglong in a main slot (if i somehow need the HP), but MLB echidna is the 2nd highest fire elemental boost and the highest dark elemental boost in the game right now... how is that a scam?

it's luck oriented sure, but when you get the elemental atk eidolons going, two or three of your teams is covered until you (hopefully) get a 100% eidolon. those gacha ones go up to 50% (tri element) or 60% (dual element). most you get from ANY event eidolon is 50% (and that requires a full eidolon deck matching it's element) with the next closest being 45%.

then add on the fact that to overtake something like a lv100 echidna, you need to have both belial AND the 100% dark eidolon we don't have yet... otherwise your echidna still has use somewhere.

i'm not saying by any means to rush out and go gacha crazy. but what I am saying is that if you get one of those elemental gacha eidolons, it's not bad unless you have one that's stronger in all the areas they cover...

but i can agree that the character attack ones could be a scam. those need specific setups to really work
