Okay, so my wordings there make it sound hilarious, I'll admit. I expected claiming 'better than mitigation' to get a chuckle (although quantifying what he does do well validates that statement, as ridiculous as it is out of context), but I didn't expect using the word 'niche' to describe what Edea has to be sidesplitting at all. I'm not looking forward to the content that needs Edea/Elimo team-up at all, if that really starts to feel 'required'. I have both of them, but keep managing to miss a lot of other units that'd make fitting them together on a team viable. Just on my own hang up, I like using all of my elemental buffers and don't have Quaid. T-T I Just want Edea to get here so I can have status clear and mitigation (and status infliction, if mostly for daily challenges until they're more useful) in the same slot so I can fit in one heavy hitter/buffer (currently Lava until I replace Grahdens with Michele and Melchio... I could replace him with the Rinon I'm raising, but my BB maintainance has taken a big hit with my luck in 7* summons and what 6* I can use without being creamed).

But, 7* Melchio is legitimately the best status null+clear unit in the game, and even the foreseeable power creep and metagame tweaks won't be taking away his usability anytime soon at all. I can only see any other units tying with him in that regard, and even then, there's enough status null+clear units around that I'm not sure if I see a whole lot more of them coming out in the next few batches. No matter what nasty things the enemy does to ruin your BB or health, he's always going to be there for you thanks to his survivability, how cheap he is, and how well he attacks/sparks. (It should go without saying that status protect leads are often being bypassed, plus, even the best of them make you miss out on better LS.)
