I might have been a little too snarky in my quick reply, so apologies for that as well.

Granted I don't follow much in JPBF, so all I really know about are their units and not their current content.

My line of reasoning was: We have a lot of BC resistance in our current global dungeons, which makes Elimo very tough to justify using on that notion alone. She doesn't spark, she doesn't do damage, she doesn't generate BC in any form.

As far as being a mitigator, she isn't a bad one. Nothing overly special in that department either though. Aaron provides instant BC fill as well as 80% def. Elimo "does" technically have 140% DEF buff but that rolls me into another of her weaknesses...

As a status clearer, she can't nullify -- which in turn means if he you get any status of any kind you're forced to use her BB to cleanse it. That alone means that in a lot of fights, she can't reliably use her SBB for the 140% defensive buff and can't keep the party as bulky as someone like Kanon.

As a healer, she's only semi-useful. I say that because lots of teams have people like Aurelia (especially with her upcoming 7*), Ivris (mostly for her UBB), or use a psuedo-healer like Feeva or Griel. At our current state, Aurelia and Feeva/Griel provide adequate healing while also bringing either heavy BC generation or a stackable REC to DEF buff on top of say, Aaron's 80% from SBB or even Kanon's 140% DEF buff if you're running a team that's heavy on survivability.

I will say though that as a healer, units like Quaid and Rize who need high HP %'s before their attack, benefit greatly from Elimo, Ivris, etc. Also Elimo *does* technically relieve 2-3 spots. Her biggest issue comes down to the inability to consistently perform all of the tasks she has. In a perfect world and on paper, she looks great -- but on a balanced team she really just becomes a niche tank for certain content that needs more support (or oppositely, more damage to burst through a phase).

Rather than saying she's a "bad" unit, I'd like to know what makes her so good? All of those situations I've listed are just the base of her problems. I can't adequately see why she would be a "main" A-team unit based on any of that above. I see she's high up on the tier-list and everything, but I honestly think it's because of accessibilty and not due to her being "the best in her class". Thoughts?
