Both Elimo and Krantz have a 20% BC reduction and 20% chance to reduce damage on ES, both have something to do with status ailments (Krantz only removes them on BB while Elimo can remove them on BB and negate them on UBB), both have mitigation, both are able to heal (only on Krantz's SBB though), both have 75% mitigation on UBB, and both are able to boost HC drop rate (Krantz and Elimo both have it on LS, but only Krantz has it on SBB).

Differences? Elimo is unable to attack, has Def buffs, heals on both BB/SBB, and a full heal on UBB. Krantz has SP enhancements, can boost the BB gauge, adds elements to your attacks, and has a Def to Atk conversion on UBB. Otherwise, they are very similar.

However, remember that I am comparing an Omni to a 7-star. Krantz and Elimo cannot be fairly judged as Krantz clearly has the advantage due to his Omni status.
