Thread: [Event 54] Advent Battle vs Horus

Go with Satan.

Ea doesn't get a lot from her awakening.
The echo burst effect is a positive, but not a difference maker yet.
Cooldown reduction on her nuke/rage shave probably doesn't really impact advents all that much. And even if it did, you'd have to rush to lv 65 to pick that up. It's more useful against Wrath ult when fights get long enough and you cycle through the modes a bunch of times.
The +combo buff on her dimension barrier is also a positive, but not a huge difference maker. And you still have to rush to 75 for it.
The change to the stun punisher is only meaningful if: the enemy stays stunned after the first buffed hit OR the fight lasts long enough for the enemy to be stunned multiple times. So it's mainly for union events. More specifically, Wrath.
Gee, we just had Wrath recently, didn't we? And we're not going to see Wrath again until next April? Hmm, what does that mean for Ea's utility...

Now note this: I have awakened Ea. The most I ever really plan to use her outside of Wrath is off the bench in case someone dies during raging, so she can come in and shave right away. And my water roster isn't exactly strong in the first place. As soon as I actually get another decent SSR, Ea's gathering dust.
I say this with tongue in cheek, but it's true. The best thing that resulted from my spending the eyes to awaken Ea was drawing Uriel from a ticket later. That I spent eyes to provoke the rng to give me another kamihime on the awakening list. (and Uriel's awesome, so it worked out for me)

Moreover, after Horus, there's another drought of fire events. The next fire event is a tower quest in the end of November. And for non-tower quest events, the next fire event is Iwanagahime, the new year's advent.

At least if you awaken Satan, you'll have this event plus the next one to level her up in time for the Phoenix reprint. And then sometime before the fire tower quest, Pride runs again.

Oh, important thing: I have/had eyes to spare, so I could afford to awaken Ea at the time for silly reasons. If you only have 3 eyes, don't even think about Ea.

Oops, correction: Iwanagahime is a raid, not an advent.
(still new year's though)

Thanks for the advice. I was in a slightly tricky situation. I started this game mid january and got 5 SSR hime so far, the first one was Ea, second was Satan, followed by Gaia, Nephtys and Uriel. I thought Gaia was a No-Brainer, so i awakened her first. But to be that lucky to have 4 out of 5 Hime that will very soon (Uriel Awakening isnt that far away, isnt it?) has its downsides. I cant get the Eyes fast enough. xD

I fucking hate how much DMM seems to hate Fire as a element.

The only way for someone to have a GOOD™ Fire grid is to either be a first-day veteran OR invest some heavy bucks into the game (or be REALLY FUCKING LUCKY with your draws).

Even the union weapon 4LB second skill is the worst out of all of the other double skill union weapons...

It's more like a year-long drought, I'm seeing only 4 or so fire events out of who knows how many.

I usually don't think it's worth to spend orichalcum on past event weapons, but this fire issue makes it look pretty necessary...

By past event weapons you mean Vlad lance. Your orichalcon exchange options for fire are the exchange-exclusive gun (it is assault (L)/defender(M), but it maxes out at 1800 atk) and past raid event weapons. So that means Crom Cruach hammer (defender only trash), Cthugha bow (defender only trash), Adramelech bow (Rush only trash), and Vlad lance (Assault (M)/Stinger(S)) when the exchange opens up.

... sucks to be a fire main doesn't it.

Do the weapons at least refresh, like every month?

Well, according to the table, the answer is yes, but not in the way you'd like it. The way it's written makes it sound more like for raid weapons, you can only exchange for 1 copy per month (at 2 ori each). On the other hand, the exchange exclusive weapons are limited to just 4 (1 ori per), so if you want, you could just burn 4 ori right away for a 3* copy of one of those. A desperate enough fire main might as well go for that gun.

weapon wise, yeah....

but from what i can tell, they have a decent amount of strong SSR hime... not sure on the SR part, but even some R hime for them is good....


they lack in weapons, but have a nice amount of womanpower...

it's just unfortunate that a lot of their good weapons seem to be Gacha only...

Maintenance complete.

Oh, side note, dark ragna is out 2 events earlier than expected.
