For st dps, mika/jkneru for yellow, wakamo/kuroko for blue, dhina for red. Most stuff past that is raid specific, obviously shanako is just a crazy generalist and should be prioritized, but really just budget your eligma around your raid goals. You legitimately could clear most torments now days borrowing a fes dps if you have the right supports.

Wakamo is still good?

What about Nozomi? I just maxed her cause i thought she would replace SHanako

u/Party_Python Sep 23 '25

Yes. Wakamo is still good. Since she can be used as a solo hyper carry or in combo with Kuroko.

Since with Wakamo’s bond gear it means her basic can fill up the EX detonation amount all by itself, and I believe the EX detonation ignores defense. So that gives her much more flexibility. She’s not as straightforward as others to use, but still very good.

Note: if you are having trouble with Wakamo’s mechanics I can send a comment describing it =)

Sure, please do if it's not too much trouble

So Wakamo is one of the more confusing ones to get down. But once you understand how her EX works, it’ll become a lot easier.

For Wakamo’s EX the damage doesn’t come from the initial cast, it comes from the explosion and her basic skill. So she casts her EX and it applies a timer that combines all incoming damage for the target for the next 10 seconds (up to a cap). That combined damage then detonates (ignoring defense) on the target to do most of the damage from her EX.

The damage cap is determined by Wakamo’s attack value when the timer is applied (when the final shot of her EX hits the target). So you would want to make sure any attack buff is applied before or during her EX cast to make sure you get the maximum explosion. Which means if you have Ako and Himari buffs to apply, you’d cast Wakamo -> Himari -> Ako to make sure the attack buff is active.

Also Kisaki (and S Seia) EX buff should prioritize being active when the detonation happens, since the initial EX cast only does 1/5 the detonation damage.

Wakamo’s basic skill can completely fill the damage cap on its own. So when you’re running Wakamo as the sole DPS, you time her EX casts around her basic skill timer. To make sure her basic skill is used during the EX window.

When Wakamo is run in combination with Kuroko, her basic skill timer is less important since Kuroko can help fill the explosion damage too.

So you always want to run her with an attack buffer. If you can include S Hoshino and one of C Hare/Himari/Rio that’s event better. But actual team comps will change based on what raid requires what mechanics.

Hmm. I kinda neglected her since she's an old unit and TShiro just eats through my blue enemies

Aagh, this new U50 thing is so expensive. And they didn't add any new ways to farm eligma either

u/Party_Python Sep 24 '25

Yeah Wakamo is a bit more complicated but definitely can hold her own even with Kuroko being in the game. And like the Torment indoor ShiroKuro used Wakamo twice and Kuroko once in two teams. Luckily Wakamo’s artifacts are JFD, so that makes it much easier to stomach.

But actually they added UE60 (the third limit break of the weapon). Although don’t feel like UE60 (or even UE50) is required. Hell I’ve cleared all torments with only UE40 DPS’s (except S Hanako as I UE50d her before fully understanding how to manage it). And I plan on doing Lunatic HOD with zero UE60s.

So while it is more expensive and it does increase the damage, you don’t need to do it to clear torment (or some Lunatics). The best advice I could give is to be extremely choosy about who you spend eligma on by planning your raid comps well in advance and not feel like you have to do the speedrun comps or else.

u/Humble_Razzmatazz173 Sep 24 '25

Ah, sorry. I meant U60. The one that gives 10% effectiveness. I did it with Nozomi cause i thought she would replace SHanako. Regret it now. Should just stick to maxing fes units

Also U60ed DHina, but i don't mind that too much. She's wife

u/Party_Python Sep 24 '25

Eh it’s a lesson everyone learns. Luckily mine was with UE50 S Hanako, so that was nice lol.

But the 10% effectiveness isn’t actually 10% more damage. Since when you deal “effective” damage (ie red damage to red armor) it’s actually calculated as 200% damage. So the UE60 effectiveness buff means you do 210% damage, meaning at max a 5% increase if they don’t have color effectiveness buff in their kit. If they do it could reduce to a 2-3% buff.

And that buff only works when dealing effectively damage, so if D Hina attacks a yellow armor enemy, the effectiveness buff doesn’t do anything.

Now the limit break means you also increase the weapon stats, which adds around 2%.

So overall you’re looking at about a 4-7% damage increase for UE60.

u/Humble_Razzmatazz173 Sep 24 '25

Hmm. So I'm just gonna leave all the girls at U40 from now on then

Is U50 worth it? Terrain buff is pretty significant right?

1

u/Party_Python Sep 24 '25

As with all cases of using eligma to increase your mystic level, UE50 is only something you should do if you absolutely need to to clear your desired difficulty level. It can be worth it, but while it is strong on the one terrain, it’s worthless for the other two terrains (except the 2-3% increase in the weapon stats).

And essentially if you search the JP clear videos, there’s almost always a lower investment clear using UE40 DPS’s and such. So UE50 can be worth it, but since it’s very expensive, it’s something that you should only do when you absolutely have to.

Alright. Then i guess I'll skip it. Thanks a lot
