Thread: Should I skip Emilia's event?

As i read her wiki page, emilia have a good skill if not good base stats which is comperable even with clissa? Tell me if im wrong. And 40 sec isnt a short time.

Also the bests silvers are from 7 sta map anyway and silver farm isn't skip. Use Emilia as exp boost is fine tho

Actually that depends on what you have. I have a ton of silver and gold rogues and healers. On the other hand, I have zero valks. So I will be spending my time there for 4 or 5 days.Plus I really wanna get my hands on Ars

Least at the end of the day, when I max out Emilia I'm chucking future clones to Maribel. Its so nice when they both share the same skill.

it's a marribel in valk form. Marribel is considered to have black tier stats during her skill , but be silver tier outside of it. And while that works decently well for marribel (even the passive aw skill is better for marribel , since she takes a whole lot more hits) , for a valk ,it's not that good , since u generally place the valk early to either ramp up or because they are cheap duelists. COnsidering her skill , emilia is a very crap duelist compared to other valks outside of her skill , and she's literally a better elaine out there at a higher cost for a good amount of time.
That makes her really situational , since she can't ramp up as fast as other valks that 1-2 shot most crap mobs , and u can't trow her against strong bosses right of the bat either , since she has to be on the field for a while to be able to use her skill



That makes her skill rather awkward to use , even if the effects of it are rather storng...

Just stick to using Kerry until either RNG blesses you with a better Valk from the gacha, we actually get the loli Valk that hits way above her pay-grade, or one of the better Valk event units shows up (star event for the plat Meirin, item collection event for the black Reshia).

NutakuDev has stated they want to get the loli in, and who knows maybe the JP devs will include her in the second map, in which case she unofficially becomes the real event unit while Emilia cements her place as a tin can replacement / Marribel skill up fodder.

Not sure about others, but I'm basically never using Valks for their UP generation expect during the Subjugation map. I use it as more of a poor man's princess to tank out magic hits. Having this unit around would've made many lich maps a lot easier if you didn't already have a princess. As pointed out, 40 sec is a long time to have stats that high on a gold lvl deployment so I'll be using her as another MR tank and probably replaces Elaine and/or Kerry on most deployments. I probably wouldn't be as stoked if I already had Clissa or Thetis and 3 MR tanks even for the cheap cost.

Eh, let's just compare them side by side then)

Code:

┌───────────┬──────┬─────┬─────┐
│ Character │  HP  │ Atk │ Def │
╞═══════════╪══════╪═════╪═════╡
│ CC Kerry  │ 1948 │ 409 │ 315 │
├───────────┼──────┼─────┼─────┤
│ CC Emilia │ 1947 │ 403 │ 282 │
├───────────┼──────┼─────┼─────┤
│ AW Kerry  │ 2489 │ 677 │ 371 │
├───────────┼──────┼─────┼─────┤
│ AW Emilia │ 2445 │ 482 │ 330 │
└───────────┴──────┴─────┴─────┘

Skills (max level):
Kerry : x1.8 attack for 35s, initial wait is 17s
Emilia: x2 attack & defense for 40s, initial wait 12.5s

Awakening abilities:
Kerry : ATK increases by 35%, speed decreases by ~20% (already calculated in the table above)
Emilia: 15% chance for damage nullification.

SAWs:
Kerry : charge-up once (0.5x attack for 20s + 15s downtime) then 2.2x attack and 1.6x defense, 2xUP gain on kills, regen 8 HP/0.5s, for 30 seconds
Emilia: x2 attack & defense for 40s, 2xUP gain on kills, regen 10 HP/0.5s, initial wait 15s

Lessee...
At CCmax level they are dead even as lightning rods, ramps/anti-rushes (both not so hot), Kerry edges out (a bit) as a ganker due to her higher innate defense, Emilia will be better as a duelist if you can drop her in advance. Emilia should be cheaper to deploy
At AWmax level Kerry(!) is a better duelist, Emilia should be able to beat Kerry as ramp/anti-rush (speed is a big deal for that, and Emilia's skill will be ready way sooner, but once again, it can go both ways, as Kerry should be able to normally oneshot things that Emilia cannot) and if Goddess smiles upon you, be better lightning rod and tank with her damage nullification chance.

Elanie doesn't even compare. And premium valks blow both out of the water, as usual.

Looking at it, with max CR so she only costs 10 UP. She certainly has a role as an early ganker/UP generator vs fast ground units. Plus you get more points back when she's withdrawn. Or you can drop a soldier/archer if you have the time and UPs.

Not sure if I can be bothered leveling her or not. If I can get her to 10 UP deployment she's a handy tool in the arsenal for her cost.

Even though I have Thetis, Kerry (min-cost) and Dahlia for Valks and Sybilla, Olivie, Sherry and Sophie for lightning rods/duelists, I'm still going to go for min-cost event unit because, COME ON, WE FINALLY HAVE AN EVENT AGAIN, SO WHY NOT???

...Well, if you're busy leveling other units then there's a reason not to if you have better duelists like I do but meh, whatever, I'm just happy we'll have another event. At least get the SCs from the first few maps, and maybe one copy for harem completion purposes
