Thread: DMM Kamihime Project: SSR Awakening Predictions

Uriel too had a buff before her awakening if Im not mistaken

Uriel did. Here's the list of Kamihime who got a rework that's hasn't got an awakening yet.
-Acala
-Enma
-Eros
-Metatron
-Atum
-Shamas
-Mammon

Now, only 3 are above the barrier and 2 are Fire

Remember, this is list of girls who got buff. There are 7, well 6 now. Fire - 1, Thunder - 1, and the rest is light. So, a high chance light maybe targeted this cycle. Wind, Thunder, and Darkness going to have a random need a buff girl for this. I said thunder too because Mammon is below the margin and Atum will get her awakening before her due to time of release.

If you think these 2 are getting it yet, you are fool. Metatron will be first unless they wait for the margin to extend then it Eros. It's all about who deserves it first among the light. As for who's next element wise, I say Darkness is due to how fast they hit the board. As for who, I will come back to that after some research.

Instead of resorting to insulting other people, why don't you make your argument to prove your point?

Sure Meta can have self DEF down debuff removed like Tyr and Acala upon AW but she is far from weak compared to plenty of other Lights who are most definitely in need of a buff.
Tyr needed the buff because her enemy DEF down is 10% garbage that can even be outclassed by mere SRs and her entire kit revolves around the boss being stunned.
Acala is in the same boat where her entire kit revolves around doing damage only during rage and reducing rage which is very situational as well.

Now look at Meta compared to Raph and Mic.
Raph - Needs to be a boss in rage to fully utilise her entire kit.
Charm has low proc rate (even lower than Thor's) and its not even as good as Thor's paralyze which upon landing guarantees a stun.
ATK down is the typical A frame and it doesn't even go up to the max limit of 20% that most SSRs usually have.
Her entire kit only hits single target making it very troublesome to use her properly in fights like Access quests, GO, Tower, etc.

Mic - Overall very balanced kit.
1st can hit multiple targets but there are plenty of KHs who can do the same and do it better and even add on powerful debuffs like Cthulu so there is room for improvement.
20 burst fill is good but that is it. Compare that to Asherah who does damage to ALL enemies and give +20 burst up to ALL your allies, meaning her kit already combines two of Mic's ability into one. Heck you don't even need to compare Mic with a different element. Compared that to meta who provides 10 to everyone else AND also do alot of damage I'd take Meta's self full burst over 20 burst anytime of the day.
While her light ATK up is a very unique buff but its only a 15% buff so there is room for improvement. Dark RST up is situational since many of Dark and Light mains tend to use these elements outside of their elemental advantage meaning there are situations where half of this ability will be pretty much completely useless.

Remember this, among the buffs given out in the summer, Metatron was one of those who got some. Michael and Raphael didn't. Granted, Metatron's buffs weren't huge, but clearly she was considered to be underpowered while the other two weren't.

Raphael's A-frame atk debuff being 15% is fair given that it's paired with a % rage gauge reduction effect (Eros has 20% but it's stand alone) and doesn't have a noteworthy low rate of success (Kama's package of assorted debuffs). And since that's % reduction, it's an effect whose value scales up with tougher fights.
Overdrive orb removal at a solid hit rate is always handy utility.

Michael's... in a solid place, but I can't really say more than solid. +20 burst is nice, but its impact can vary wildly on the situation. Shingen builds would love it. Outside of Shingen, then it's a question of how much difference does that +20 burst actually make. Sometimes you want to burst on specific turns, and you may build up your burst meter in time without that skill anyway. Other times it's a lifesaver (worked out fantastically against Medusa, for example).
+light atk/+dark resist is basically mechanically alright against non-dark and very solid against dark. Because of how element resist buffs work, this is a skill fitting to be on an SSR.
Michael's basically in that place where I'd go, 'yea, she's SSR-level, but she's... just not a standout SSR'.
Having both Raphael and Michael, I'd easily kick out Michael first, unless I draw Eros, then I have to think about it.

Metatron's a Yet Another Attacker. The list of awakenings so far lean heavily in that direction.

Whether it be Metatron, Raphael or Micheal getting the next awakening for light himes, I couldn't care about the order, but I feel like you're really look down on Raphael too much. Almost everything you've mentioned about Raphael is just nitpicking when many of them aren't even faults in the first place.

You can complain about Raphael being boss focused but I can complain that Micheal is awful because she's inferior for bossing. We don't need every single hime to be all-purpose. Being a boss focused hime is not an issue and is no way a fault for using Raphael, especially when it's only half of a single skill that is for bosses but in reality all her skills can be used on any mob. One skill simply loses half its effect if the enemy doesn't have a rage meter and in rage mode. Is Sol less useful if you don't need her cleanse or dispel? No. Why would Raphael be?

Dizzy is it own thing and paralyze is its own thing. There's no reason to compare Raphael to Thor when both play completely different, it'd be like saying SR dark Balor is better than Raphael her because she has a paralysis. I mean comparing Raphael to something like Satan or something sure, like Satan has an overdrive reduction, a -15% debuff and managed to an awakening, so Raphael could too but same applies to Metaton with comparison to Uriel who plays in a similar fashion, both got buff'd and she also has an awakening.

Raphael's atk down could use a boost but it in no way is a big issue and as mentioned above, dual effect. Regardless, there are other SSR's with -15% debuffs, don't make it sound as if all SSRs with a debuff have a -20% one aside from her, and with DMM at a -50% cap, it's easily achieved as many light main player most likely have Sol.

Saying she is troublesome because she is a single target hime is basically no different that the first point about saying she's boss focused.

Michael's entire kit can be unloaded onto a boss and still be fully useful. In case of Raph, you either need to delay some skills or use it only in certain circumstances to make the most out of her. And don't even compare Sol with Raph. Sol is clearly an overpowered KH who's utility way exceeds many even when her entire kit is not in use.

My reason for complaining about Raph is simple. She failed as a "defense" KH. Heck even Sol is a better defense KH than her.
ATK down 15% vs 20%, there is no questions asked. Sol wins.
% Rage meter depletion is a very niche use even on bosses/raid bosses since most people save up full burst for the boss rage before unloading it and forcing it into stun. Compare that to dispel which is invaluable and cleanse which is live saving at times.

You're clearly scrapping the bottom of the barrel here with your argument when you bring in Balor. Balor's paralyse have a ridiculously low proc rate that it might as well not even be there in the first place. Thor's paralyse on the other hand is a different story.

And the reason I'm comparing Raph and Thor is because:
1. They are both SSR.
2. Both abilities deals damage and apply a charm/paralyse respectively.
3. The goal of both debuffs is exactly the same; stun the enemy.

But clearly paralyse is without a doubt the superior debuff compared to charm due to its surefire lockdown. The ONLY complaint one could have is how short paralyse lasts with teams that require constant rebuffing but that clearly isn't the case with Light at the moment until New Year's Nike is available.
You, stating about charm and paralyse being its own thing is like comparing that a bicycle and a car are different. Of course they are, but nobody cares about a bicycle if the goal is to get somewhere faster.

It IS a big deal when you don't want your Soul to be a debuff bot or when your front line spots are limited with cores like Sol, Lightsuki, SSRtemis. If a player have access to all the SSRs in the game, no one in their right mind would put Raph in that last spot. Same goes to Michael as well but even IF a defensive kami is needed, people would easily opt to go Eros instead because while being a "balanced" KH, the defensive capabilities that she brings to the game far outweighs anything Raph can ever do as the quote-unquote "defense" KH.

I'm saying she is far inferior to a good majority of the other Kamis because despite having the same rarity and pull rate as every other SSR KH (well we don't know the numbers for sure because the exact pull rates are never shown but I'm assuming it is) even among the "weak" light team, her abilities are far weaker than what other characters in the same rarity and element can bring.
My argument here is that Raph needs a buff. More that any of you originally though. And most of the time, they only way the Devs would do a HUGE buff is through AW.
