Thread: Preferred Eidolon Buffs (DMG calculator included)

Well, I prefer to take Jormugandr if I have to fight something that have chance to kill me with 2 triple attacks, but I usually end up taking whatever is available since I let almost anyone on my friend list.
Am I correct thinking that +x% elemental dmg is better choice than +x% character dmg if you want to deal more damage?

Also what's the point of this poll? To see what people prefer to take?

In general, but not always. At low assault skill this isn't true.

I'm curious about what's popular and therefore more likely to net me additional friends and/or extra daily gold.

I would rather take a Element ATK↑ and Burst↑ eidolon than a ATK/HP one.

Can you provide an example?

Typhon and Ifrit

Upcoming Medusa has a pretty unusual passive buff as well.

Medusa's also +burst, right?

Not too far away will be Rahab introducing +ability damage.
And then in the distant future Jack Frost will introduce +element resistance; free 10% damage cut against the corresponding element, I believe.

1) Those are character ATK buffs, not elemental DMG buffs.
2) Burst streak bonus seems pretty terrible, as it only applies to a small fraction of your overall damage. So you end up with a weaker character attack bonus and a burst streak bonus that doesn't even make up for the 10% character attack you lose.

There is no damage loss when pitting it against HP.

I have no idea what this sentence means.

ATK↑/Burst Streak DMG↑ compared to a ATK↑/HP↑ buff. There is no damage loss.
