I like that each of you didn't bother to read what I said and repeated the same thing that was wrong in the first place. She has the ability to supplement some units, sure, that I can agree with -- but she doesn't do their role better than they do and she isn't nearly as necessary as you keep thinking she is.

I never said she was a bad unit, just that it's silly how you're all gawking about how "overpowered" she is when she's really not. If you're building a survival team, sure -- I could see her place. For anything else? There are better fits and I proved that in my original statement. She has a lot of redundancy and tries to fill too many jobs at once. A status clearer that can't give a defensive buff because she's busy wiping statuses every turn because she can't nullify for 3 turns means that she's splitting between her roles too much. Yes, she "can" do either -- but she can't do them at the same time, hence the need for another unit for maximum uptime on buffs. We're talking about min/max'ing here. For instance, Kanon can nullify for 3 turns and then provide his 140% defense and keep both up permanently, whereas Elimo can't. Let's say you go up against enemies that curse in a trial, BAM, half your team is cursed and your fill rate is now non-existant because your status clearer can't nullify; so next turn you don't get hardly any BC to keep spamming BB/SBB. BC/HC generators (as popular as Feeva and Ronel are) are on 99% of teams and those gals are psuedo-healers that do more than enough to keep the team healthy, again, making Elimo redundant. Aaron will provide instant-fill BC gen, where Elimo brings none because she does no damage. In your defense, IF you know what you're going up against ahead of time, then you can better work Elimo into your party if you know the upcoming stage doesn't debuff/status-frag you. She CAN be a very good unit, especially in tough content where her mitigation takes a back seat to a real mitigator and she's there purely for healing, helping cleansing, mitigation if main tank is BB drained, etc. She HAS a use, I wasn't denying that at all. TNnot everyone has Feeva/Ronel, not everyone has Kanon or Aaron, Elimo is a good niche filler unit but not as god-like as you guys are thinking. Think about the holes in her playstyle. :P

Either way though, I will say that it is nice that there aren't many "must have" units like there used to be. It's fun to see people try different squads instead of relying on an absolute meta. If she works for you, then by all means use her! Just responding to the OP's comment which was inherently misinformed.

Happy hunting!
