Skill 1: Lesser Spirit’s Blessing
Activates when attacking with Full Charge. Affects self.
Charge Speed ▲ 13.01% for 1 round(s)
Charge Damage ▲ 2.01% for every unit in the final Max Ammunition Capacity.
lasts for 1 round(s).
Somewhat mid skill. Her charge speed self buff isn’t quite high enough to be too useful, and it isn’t a direct 13% charge speed buff due to auto attack delays and etc. more so around 10%(?)
Although her Charge damage buff is somewhat unique. Not quite in a good way. Emilia has a base of 6 ammo + 3 from her skill 2 on full burst. This equates to around 18% more charge damage, which is around a 7%~ DPS increase in her auto attacks.
What makes it rather unique is, when factoring Overload gear. as one may think that overloading her with max ammo increase would make a pretty sizable DPS boost because of her skill 1, this is not the case at all. Emilia would still greatly prefer ATK rolls, so spamming her with max ammo/prioritizing multiple max ammo rolls on Emilia is not the play. giving 10% charge damage (250% base) at the highest level max ammo roll. 1-2x Lines is still recommended simply for uptime.
Skill 2: Great Spirit’s Mace
Activates when attacking with Full Charge. Affect target(s)
Deals Fixed Damage to the main body equal to 58.99% of the damage dealt by self.
Activates when entering Full Burst. Affects self.
Max Ammunition Capacity ▲ 3 round(s) for 10 sec.
Main meat of her kit. Her skill 2 basically boosts her damage by almost 60% and should increase her burst generation values, as skill procs usually give additional burst gen according to weapon type (E.G Nihilister, Modernia, Jackal). However this means that manual spamming with her would be rather inefficient as it would result in DPS loss/Similar DPS the shot needs to be full charged for this to activate. Meaning that people who manually use Rocket launchers anyways would find this skill rather underwhelming.
Note: More testing/hands on would be needed as there is some speculation on how her skill 2 would operate. Will update ASAP after confirming.
Update: Skill 2 Working as expected/written. Making her just Decent in PvE
Burst: Freezing Witch
Affects self.
Explosion Range ▲ 101.24% for I0 sec
Freezing Witch
Function: Decreases Charge Speed and increases Charge Damage for 1 shot(s)
Effect 1: Charge Speed ▼ 300%.
Effect 2: Charge Damage ▲ 1300.53%
Her burst is rather deceptive if the Commander does not fully understand how it works, and would think that the damage output would be similar to Snow white or Maxwell. This is false.
The reason why Snow white and Maxwell have such strong bursts, is because they multiply on very high fixed final attack values on weapon that is switched
Emilia’s weapon has a base ATK modifier of 61.3%. While the weapons used by Maxwell and Snow white is 813% and 499% respectively. To better “visualize”, the math would look like this:
- Maxwell: 8.3 (813%) x 3.00 (300% Charge) = 24.9 (No self buff)
- Snow white: 4.99 (499%) x 10.00 (1000% Charge) = 49.9
- Emilia: 0.613 (61.3%) x (2.5 (base charge) + 13.00 (Burst) + 0.18 (skill 1)) = 9.61 x 1.59 (skill 2) = 15.28
As one can see, she is not very close to the damage of what Maxwell and Snow white can dish out. Not to mention that Emilia also “loses” damage by simply charging up her burst instead of normal attacking (4s~). Her burst has not that much DPS gain compared to just simply not bursting with her. However she does get increased splash radius, which will be useful against bosses with many parts that are rather separated (Nihilister).
Campaign
As enticing as her burst looks for campaign as a “screen wiper” or AoE unit, this is not quite the case unless using her specifically for water weak content, alongside with multiple elemental damage rolls from overloaded gear. Emilia’s Burst explosion radius is not that large at all to be hitting separated raptures. Her burst buffed explosion radius isn’t as big as A2’s (A2 has +50% explosion radius on her base auto attack + has similar explosion radius buff on burst).
Her being a burst III RL with no animation delay to manual spam does open allow for quick burst generation when using teams that don’t include Burst II Clip RLs (Centi, Anis) or Pierce Sniper Nikkes (Alice, Red hood). Otherwise she’s not a very strong candidate for campaign clearing
Note: More testing/hands on would be needed as there is some speculation on how her skill 2 would operate. Will update ASAP after confirming.
Update: Skill 2 Working as expected/written. Making her just Decent in PvE
Arena
Emilia can actually see some use as a burst generator because of the extra hits from her skill 2. her burst generation is not to the degree of a clip rocket launcher, but it is very well above average. Not to mention that her burst does deal more damage than Scarlet burst via being able to take advantage of full burst mode multiplier (1.5x) while Scarlet can’t. This can easily result in Emilia being able to one shot the opponents team. Fast burst Noah team against Emilia doesn’t work either as Emilia has a 4s delay on her burst, while Noah’s team Invulnerability only lasts for 3s.
Emilia might be a very strong contender for Arena. More testing is required.
Special Interception | Union Raid | Solo Raid
Solo Raid + Union Raid
She doesn’t really have a spot in current meta Solo raid and Union raid, as the only boss her kit will shine in is on Nihilister or future water weak bosses with multiple parts. Emilia simply feels like a less competent A2 or an upgraded Laplace, both of which aren’t very enticing.
Interception
Emilia should perform decently against interception EX blacksmith though due to clamped parts + elemental weakness, otherwise, she’d be your team’s lap pillow.
Closing Thoughts
Emilia seems like a rather Mid rocket launcher for PvE. Her kit doesn’t allow her to deal competitive personal damage. At least she doesn’t need to burst to deal any sort of damage.
However for PvP, she has potential to be meta due to her burst generation and AoE burst damage that is slightly higher than Scarlets.
Pull her if focused on Arena and comfy lap pillows.
Note: PvE section might be fully reworked depending on how her skill 2 works, as the wording is rather unclear. Will update ASAP.
Update: Skill 2 Working as expected/written. Making her just Decent in PvE
The real question is ‘does she synergize well with Rem?’ We will have to wait and see….
It seems Rem’s kit can buff all RLs, not just Emilia, so Black Shadow Scarlet or A2 would get more out of her. Honestly, she’s a pretty decent skip (Unless you’re an Emilia lover like me and have Emilia in both Epic Seven and AFK Arena)
On her burst you left out the base 250% Charge Damage she has as the burst is a Charge Damage increase rather than a Weapon Change.
0.613 (61.3%) x (2.50 (base) +13.00 (burst) + 0.18 (skill 1)) = 9.61 x 1.59 (skill 2) = 15.28
Thank you, Had i feeling a missed something, Corrected!
The part that had me curious is her s2. I was wondering if we have precedent regarding that and if it can possibly bypass mechanics like Mother Whale making the mobs take 1 damage?
To elaborate it says it applies fixed damage to the target(s) so it implied it affects anything that takes damage from Emilia will take that fixed damage.
I’m assuming it would work like
Damage dealt = 500
damage from skill 2 would be = 500 x 0.58 extra damage proc
So if Emilia deals one damage (Minion mechanic), it would be 1 x 0.58 extra damage proc
s1 is cool and unique but that 2% just isn’t enough huh. be cool if her burst froze enemies or something interesting like Yan. unique skills but underwhelming Stat lines you hate to see it 😮💨. I hope all the speculation is wrong and she actually plays well and is worth bringing over other dps options 😭
Holy hell, Rem is broken AF?!?! If I read her kit right, she’s going to make A2 and Scarlet black super easy to use, and will buff Emilia a bunch too.
Will you redo the guide (or at least add a section for) in regards to how Rem makes Emilia?
Doubt it, she’s burst 2 that means no Tia Naga or Noir Blanc, looks nice for new players that don’t have those though, maybe she can be broken af for PvP with SBS.
That burst clarification was devastating. I thought she was at the level of Snow White. Oh well.
True. Initially thought she’d be like SW and Maxwell, with Rem looking like a great support for her. Might still pull because it’s limited + collab
I still don’t understand why collab character need to be weak. It happen in other games as well
Collab will bring new player to game and why they didn’t make collab character to be strong in some point so new player can stay much more longer
Because the you’ll have the same situation that Epic7 had with Dizzy, She was absolutely broken in the PvP mode of that game due to her ability to inflict debuffs with all of her attacks and due to her being a collab character people weren’t able to get her freely, so then when they made changes, adjustments, and rebalanced characters to even her out people got pissed because now they wasted resources that they’ll never get back. THAT’s why you never make broken collab characters.
‘so then when they made changes, adjustments, and rebalanced characters to even her out people got pissed because now they wasted resources that they’ll never get back. THAT’s why you never make broken collab characters.’
And? You can make that argument for every character that have been in the limelight for every game that got shifted, including Nikke. You core 7 max everything for harran? Modernia released and she’s irrelevant. You max out laplace because every other DPS at that time minus 2 were shit? Every mainline dps after her is much stronger.
Hell i’d argue it is worse for nikke since you can’t even unequip your overload gears. You want to move your maxed out gear from core 7 harran? too bad.
The only valid argument of why you shouldn’t make collab character broken is the FOMO aspect, even then one could argue that non-limited chara in nikke is harder to get due to no pity/banner (i’ve been playing day 1 and only last month i got novel despite putting her in the wishlist from the start, who is already irrelevant at this point)
I don’t think it’s true cuz a lot of ‘limited’ character is broken and a lot of gacha game new character will be better in time being (might not every characters)
and you don’t need to make her OP in PvP most of shitty gacha game is bad because focused to much in PvP no one want to be stomped
I just think ‘collab’ in new gacha game just for baited new player think character they liked is good and found out later than they are shit
Um A2 and 2B exist they likely don’t want something that is unobtainable after the event to be SSS meta breaking.
A2 and 2B wasn’t that good too you can look at tier list now or you compare to other in game
I don’t think it’s that bad to make character super good because most of limited or Fes character can’t obtain in normal banner and didn’t had pity system after their banner is out
and you can make other character from now is better than them too
gacha game doing it all the time the character in release become weaker and weaker after a year (few of them still on top but most of them will fell off)
Not a Re fanatic but I am cautious about pulling during collab events, I don’t care what that percentage pull chance says I always see worse luck on these.
Ummmmm…… about that ‘lap pillow endorser and provider part’…… That role is a;ready taken by Naga (Daily advice dialogue when high bond, she asks is it is tiring for the commander to look after so many nikkes, and if you complain, she gives that heart-stealing smile, and offers lap pillow….
You are obviously a fool. A complete and utter moron, Emma offers you a lap pillow in her advise, and she has MUCH juicier thighs than your schoolgirl. Emma also has a much bigger chest, so by me choosing the best waifu, I can have complete darkness and maximum comfort, while you, a feeble Naga limpet, are going to be seeing light and disappointment. Emma is clearly superior in every way.
