You're actually quite wrong about that, OP.

Elimo's greatest weakness is the fact that she's a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none.

Kanon and Elimo both provide 140% def buff on SBB and status clear on BB, but Elimo still loses because even though she mitigates -- sure, that's all fine and dandy -- she only clears status for that turn and does not clear/nullify for 3 turns like Kanon, Rigness, Ulkina, etc. does. So inevitably when debuffs hit you on that 3rd turn when 140% def falls off, Elimo is forced to choose between important status clearing and refreshing 140% def buff (which is going to be more and more needed as content comes out). The lack of multi-turn nullification also means that in order to clear status for that turn she'll be forced to use her BB first, which isn't optimal for sparking. That would apply for any 'status clear-only' unit, and she's even worse for it because she has zero damage or BC generation to give the team. There is a lot of content (now and upcoming) that nerfs BC generation and BB drains, making her extremely sub-par.

Elimo also falls behind in that she provides healing, which is not necessary due to strong BC/HC generators like Feeva, Ronel, etc. that most players have. In turn, her unneccessary healing means, again, that she deals 0 damage as well -- tsk tsk.

Her UBB is very strong, however... she's your mitigator. Unless there is a scripted attack you can plan ahead for, you don't have the luxury of skipping turns with your mitigator to use her UBB or else you might wipe your party.

TL;DR - Not as strong as you think she is. No status nullification leads to tough choices in bad situations, healing that isn't necessary with all the BC/HC buffers and zero damage or BC gen really makes her less than ideal unless you have nothing else. She's easily replaceable, even as great as she looks on paper. With my current units, I'd never have a place for this unit. She could never replace the stronger utility that Aaron + Kanon brings to the table.
