10th Skill Checker-kun is here.
You have 12 turns. Elemental advantage only. Debuffs apply, ALL of them. Rages and Stuns quickly. This time, Skill Checker-kun does VERY little damage back to you, so you can mostly fight him in peace. Might combo attack one character for a lot in the final turns if you didn't bring any Atk-.
The real quirk this time around is normal attack damage. I don't... fully understand how it works. I think you deal double normal attack damage, and cap is double of normal (700k?). But I think if you go above cap, your damage is only reduced by 50% instead of the usual 90%? I... really don't understand the numbers here. It's WEIRD. All I know is, you can get some INSANE normal attacks if you just pump the fuck up on modifiers, such as Assault, Vigor, Berserk and Byakko. And Technica, if you somehow have some of that in your Grid.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess I should mention is that weaker players might find Full Bursts better than normal attacks. Remember, the maximum damage you can do with Full Bursts is around 3.5m per character, which is still quite a lot. But the strong players will probably ignore Bursts entirely unless they are needed for certain Hime Burst effects. I mean, my Perkele did 6m by herself during one turn...
Parac is obviously the only correct choice here (unless you simply cannot reach -50% Def, in which case I guess you need to rely on Paras). Make sure you run her BERSERK, as it's a ridiculous damage boost this time around. There are also very extremely powerful normal attack Hime, like Thanatos in Dark - so there are absolutely some core Hime in each element (HA HA WIND ATUM GO GET MORE BERSERK FROM PARAC), but overall there should be quite a lot of leeway in teams this time around.

Good work, everyone.
Overall it was a fairly interesting one. Although there were some extreme core Hime like Wind Atum or Ymir, there were quite a lot of different teams which just worked.
Not entirely sure why Hagith was so popular for Light teams again. Needing to pick Managarmr for the big combo+ on turn1 makes a lot of sense, but I guess they had lots of Technica from somewhere for Hagith to be better than a second Managarmr...?
Looking at those scores, I think I forgot to redo my Water with a Berserk build, ha ha! Oh well, nothing important was lost.

11th Skill Checker-kun is here.
You have 7 turns. Elemental advantage only. Debuffs apply, except for Para/Charm/that stuff (no dodging those debuffs!). No ODs, Rage or Stun. Has HIGH Def again, so the thing applies as last time that happened: whale scores will be significantly higher than yours. See this post#186 point 3. for why if you don't remember.
The quirk this time around are the debuffs. Here is what is done this time:
1st turn: Atk- and Def- (does not expire, can be Cleansed or Prevented)
3rd turn: Burst Gain- (-70%) (does not expire, can be Cleansed or Prevented)
5th turn: Ability Seal (does not expire, can be Cleansed or Prevented)
Other turns: AoE damage.
You need to deal with that Atk-, and you need to be done with your bursts shortly after that Burst Gain- or you will not be doing shit. The Ability Seal isn't all that bad usually, since well, it only applies to two turns, and good abilities rarely have 4-5 turn CD. It would prevent Medea CD reduction builds, but this is a Yori event anyway.
In any event, Awakened Eros is seeing a lot of action even outside of Light. She is especially amazing if you can FB on turn2 so that you can prevent that massive burst gain loss (and in fact, that's pretty much required if you don't have Northern Star Lord). Furthermore, she keeps refreshing her 2000 Barrier, which means that she keeps your team healthy for Vigor despite the constant AoE spam. Using one off-element Hime is obviously a massive hit to your direct damage output, but it looks like most elements can make use out of her. And THAT is impressive.

Good work, everyone.
It was actually a pretty interesting Skill Checker. Much, much better than then most common "10+ turns, spam those NSLs LOL" ones. Despite of this, I couldn't be bothered to look up and write teamcomps, Unions, Himecounts or primary Eidolons used.
Personally, I did all elements once(*) and was done. Thanks to day1 of free pulls handing me NSL, I ranked alright, I guess.
(*) I did Fire twice, since I forgot two things: that Heavenly Fire Disaster existed, and that I would need to bring Cleanse/Prevention. I also did Thunder a second time after I saw how many people were using off-element Eros, but it didn't work out at all due to lost synergies.
