Eidolon bricks are for P2W Eidolons or Kaisers. Take your pick into whatever element you prefer now or are sure to prefer later.

Oh, I thought she'd be good for rage killing, but I guess since we are usually full bursting during that period it is kinda redundant. That means I'm probably still looking for Uriel, haha.

So use bricks on 100%. I just realized I also have Hanuman but I assume I wouldn't use it on her since I don't have a working Wind team, and even if I did she's worse than Hraesvelgr as a 100% eido? That would mean I only have Anubis and Managarmr to choose from. Would it be correct in saying Anubis doesn't really need the brick since Dark can only carry me so far and will be easily out shined by Light once I get Michael and Tish?

I believe it's just purely RNG. I knew I got Anubis when I was trying to pull for Kali, but I didn't realize I had 100% wind and light until just recently when looking through my eidolon pool and their summon skills lol. Both elements were ones I don't main and did not pay attention to. Its even possible they somehow check to see what your weakest teams are when they hand them out.

Your brother is a freak of nature.

Yes, the chances are WAY lower than for other SSR Eidolons. They are heavily weighted down.

She IS good at Rage Killing, but that's all she's good at. Notice that Awakened Acala gains an echo burst against Raging enemies, which makes her pretty damn good for Full Bursting Raging enemies. Well, sadly the echo isn't included into Full Burst Bonus I hear, but it's still loads of free damage.

Wind struggles to get past -40% Def without Hraes, but Hanuman is still wayyyyy better than anything non Hraes. Also, to be noted that December will rebalance Hanuman into 140% at 0-stars (still 100% with 0 Wind sub-Eidolons, but 4% -> 8% per sub). This makes Hanuman and their ilk real fucking beasts, since you can reach up to 280% with 0-star ones. Wind also has lots of high Atk Eidolons (Fleurety coming up next week) so they don't even lose much base Atk.

So I wouldn't sell Hanuman short.

Ultimately, what you want to brick is up to you. IMO, spend it on whatever team you like playing the most.

But the damage free echo probably can not compete with Uriel's burst or Svarogs 40% assault, so probably not worth the eyes and would prove your statement of her being awful correct.

I thought base was 80%, but I guess that's only for Anubis and Managarmr.

Well since the bricks don't have an expiry date, I'll hold on to them for a bit longer.

Correct. Additionally, Anubis and Managarm with more Limit Breaks needs sub-Eidolons of their element to be effective. For Hanuman and friends, the base increases by 5%. So a 1-Star Hanuman is always at least 105%.

I have mixed feelings about Acala but to say she's awful is a bit over.

Comparing Uriel and Acala side to side, Uriel can hit 2m on her own fairly easily with minimum requirement in gears, while Acala, the stronger your grid is, the more you get out of her burst. Her echo caps at 500k and can be increased to 1m with exceed, and while I still haven't fully figured out its multiplier, it seems to be able to easily hit for as much dmg as her main burst (when I am hitting for less than 1m). That basically means, if your Acala can burst for 1m or more, which is actually not too hard considering I don't even have Belial myself, she would be able deal as much burst dmg as Uriel, not counting her 900k dmg nuke.

Last and not least, her 3rd ability allowing you to skip 30% of boss's normal gauge comes in very handy for Wind Rag and Wind Guardian, who both got very annoying normal OD compare to rage OD.

tldr; While it's debatable whether she would suit your needs for 3 eyes worth, she is by no means... 'awful'. Not in the least bit.

Just asking for opinion, so do you think some Awakened unit that don't have extra burst effect should get some already?

He's summoned on the monthly guaranteed SSR banners more than I have, but even so I still think his gacha luck is nuts...he didn't even reroll when he started. I did, but that was before I knew what to reroll for and ended up just going for a seasonal hime.
