Skill 1: Short Circuit
Activates when entering battle. Affects all allies.
When attack an enemy projectile, damage dealt to that projectile ▲ 59.66%
continuously.
Activates after landing 100 normal attack(s).Affects the target and 2
surrounding enemy unit(s) if the target is in BOOM Install
Deals 91.03% of final ATK as Distributed Damage.
A nifty skill that decently increases her DPS by around 22% when not hitting core and factoring her burst buff. Around 14%~ when hitting core. Projectiles aren’t usually an issue in most bosses, as most don’t launch projectiles. But there are some notable bosses that have rather strong projectiles. Such bosses are Blacksmith, Alteisein, and Modernia. Coincidentally, these are all bosses in interception mode.
Note: Her distributed damage only procs against a BOOM install target, which is a debuff inflicted when she bursts. This skill does not have full uptime.
Skill 2: Fast Charge
Activates after landing 60 normal attack(s). Affects all allies if the target
is in BOOM Install.
ATK ▲ 13.09% of caster’s ATK for 5 sec.
Activates when the target appears. Affect all allies.
Fills Burst Gauge by 100%. Activates once per battle.
A pretty much full uptime modest ATK buff, unfortunately it is based on Caster’s ATK and Elegg is a supporter, this translates close to 9-10% ATK up for a Attacker DPS with equal gear.
Target refers to the bosses (3:00 Stages), or the final wave boss rapture in destroy maps. targets DON’T INCLUDE other Nikkes, which means that her instant burst Gauge fill won’t proc in PvP, Base defense, or Defense stages.
Her fill burst skill serves very little purpose except for maybe fitting in 1 more full burst in a 3:00 Round.
Burst: Boom Install
Affects all allies.
Distributed Damage dealt ▲ 39.74% for 10 sec.
Affects the enemy nearest to the crosshair.
Deals 79.2% of final ATK as damage.
BOOM Install: DEF ▼ 35.64% for 10 sec.
A rather unique skill, as this is the first buff of its kind. and there’s only a very few select Nikkes that can take advantage of this skill (Excluding herself). These Nikkes are:
- Dorothy – Doro’s burst and skill 2 can benefit from this skill. Usually buffs don’t affect Dorothy’s skill (except ATK) but it seems like Elegg is an exception. Her buffs usually also snapshot on cast however that isn’t the case here , and the buff can be applied after cast. However, it works less like a buff and more of a DPS ceiling raise. The player still needs to damage the amount increased by the skill to be able to deal that damage, which usually isn’t an issue in proper teams.
- 2B – Her big hit is distributed damage, and Elegg does buff that. However Mast would be a better buffer than Elegg if she is available
- Scarlet: Black Shadow: Most of Scarlet: Black Shadow’s damage comes from distributed damage. And would benefit rather massively from Elegg’s buff. This is the most realistic Nikke you’ll pair Elegg with, without having a specialized team.
Elegg’s def down is not too useless, as it converts roughly to an 9-10% ATK up in solo raid. The effectiveness of this skill varies differently depending on content being tackled, but usually, when tackling against maps with high CP deficit, this skills gets slightly more effective, and vice versa.
Campaign
As a burst II solo buffer, she does not have much competition (Except for the undisputed support duos). her only competition would be Solo Naga, Rupee, and more recently Ade. She’s able to deal good damage with decent buffing abilities when compared to these 3, while also being the only Nikke to be able to consistently core hit raptures from afar.
Unfortunately for her buffs to proc, the target of her burst needs to actually stay alive or else the skills won’t activate. She’s good for Newbies who have Dorothy with no other DPS’s, as Dorothy can fill the role of DPS and CDR. Elegg increases Dorothy’s early game campaign potential. Her best in slot team would include Scarlet: Black Shadow.
Duo Alternative Scarlet Black Shadow Team
A pretty solid alternative if the player does not have any of the duo supports. In fact, Elegg should be better than the bunny team when pairing with Scarlet Black shadow due to Elegg’s buff lasting between Rapture waves, instead of Blanc’s damage debuff lasting for one rapture wave. Flex slot can be Helm or Maxwell
Early Game Dorothy Team
An early game team which focuses on buffing Dorothy, this playstyle will get phased out pretty fast once the commander reaches rather high deficits, but should be a relatively lax team.
Arena
Her kit can only have her fit two teams, and even then, will not be optimal to play with at all. She go in 2B Nuke teams or Scarlet black shadow teams. But this is quite a horrible idea as MG’s generate close to no burst generation, and has wind up time. For that reason alone, she’s not recommended at all to try to fit into those teams, or used in PvP in general.
Special Interception | Union Raid | Solo Raid
She has 3 interesting teams she can fit in, in these game modes. One team even enables her be a very decent DPS. Outside these teams, it is hard to form optimal teams for her. She can be used for an easier time for blacksmith, Modernia bombs and Alteiseins Missiles in phase 2.
Dorothy Team
Yes, she has a role in the biscuit team! As she’s an electric Nikke, while also being a supporter, Elegg can benefit from both Anis: Sparkling Summer’s buffs and Biscuit’s buff, while also being able to buff Dorothy every other full burst (Or every full burst if wanted if wanted). This team should deal more damage than its Scarlet counter part while also being easier to play due to to being able to life steal via Biscuits buff, the only Nikke the Commander needs to worry about is Privaty.
Scarlet Black Shadow Team
refer to campaign section above. Liter can be replaced with dorothy + paired with Privaty (Interception EX) If no healing is needed.
2B Team
Mostly would be used in Fire weak Raids. Mast would be a better buffer for 2B however if there’s no option to do so, Elegg can be used as a substitute. Elegg doesn’t buff both hits from 2B’s burst, but rather the first one, leaving some damage unbuffed.
Closing Thoughts
A pretty decent burst II Nikke that opens up a lot of potential for future Distribute damage based Nikkes. While still also having a very solid team outside that Niche due to her Element, personal DPS and solo burst II buffs.
Pull 1 copy if the Commander has Scarlet: Black Shadow, Dorothy, or Biscuit Team. Especially if the Commander does NOT have the meta support Duos. Otherwise, she can be skipped and wish-listed.
Note: Posted slightly late due to her interaction with Dorothy.
Her def. Down buff and dis. Damage up buff are pretty cracked, and will probably see much more use in the future since we don’t have many dis. Damage nikkes rn. But Imagine if they release an electric dis. Damage nikke in the future. S.anis plus them plus elegg would go crazyyy.
Seems like her S2’s also dependent on Burst too as it requires target to be in BOOM install? Her Burst’s DEF shred appears the be the higher % in the game atm, which is good, but gonna be outscaled by Mast’s S1 pretty much by level 361 with OL stats and several crit lines.
For the “Duo Scarlet Black Shadow” why not run Dorothy instead of Liter, if Dorothy directly benefits from Elegg?
Campaign Reasoning – Dorothy doesn’t do too well in High CP deficit Campaign, Liter will always be Best in slot cooldown reduction due to her atk buffs, even if Elegg buffs Dorothy, it is still not a competition.
Solo Raid – Dorothy is used in Biscuit/Priv/Summer Anis teams. Liter should still outperform Dorothy in overall team damage in this team too anyways, Unless there’s an abundant amount of parts on the target.
Jesus that was quick, thank you for the initial impressions I’m thinking I’ll at least a copy of her since I’ve skipped the last few banners and seems descent.
what OL stats would you recommend for her and most optimal cube?
＊It says Mast is＊Mast would be a better buffer than Mast if she is available＊
Right under the Doro burst pictures. Thanks for the article
Thanks for fixing! 😀
I did the math and Mast with benefit 2B more on 2B’s first two burst while from the 3rd and their after Elegg equals Mast’s. This means that which is better in a 3 min fight is more determined by the other Nikkes on the team. 2B+Guillotine wants Mast was 2B+ either Dorothy and/or SacrletBS will want Elegg.
what’s the minimum skill investment for Elegg to perform well with comps?
Elegg has Alteisen cooked, Instant gauge destroy all the parts before the first screen pan, pans back transitions second phase before it restores parts.
