Key moments
Questions answered

What resource does Evanescia use to spam ultimates and how does it work?

Evanescia uses Certified Banger which is tied to Energy: gaining Energy grants equal Banger and vice versa. Her traces (A2, A6) can convert 50% of teammates' Banger into her own, and energy regen affects final values, enabling frequent ultimate casts at 240 Energy.

Which relic/planar sets and main stats are recommended for Evanescia?

The guide recommends the Magical Girl relic set for damage with Punklorde as the preferred planar. Main stat priorities include a Crit DMG chest and an Energy rope; boots/orb can be Phys DMG% or ATK% depending on preference and survivability needs.

Which Eidolons should you prioritize for Eva?

E1 is highest priority because it gives RES PEN and an extra Elation Skill trigger via Master Fox, significantly boosting damage—E2 improves banger conversion from allies, and E6 increases banger duration and merrymake scaling.

What team comps work best to enable Evanescia's playstyle?

Teams that reliably generate Certified Banger/Energy are best: pair Eva with Yaoguang and EMC for Aha Instants and banger generation, with Huohuo as the preferred fourth slot for team-wide energy buff. Cyrene is a viable alternative for niche setups.

How should you level Evanescia's abilities?

Prioritize her Talent first, then her Elation Skill, then her Ultimate; basic attacks can be ignored since her kit focuses on Elation/ultimate damage.

Overview of Evanescia's Kit 00:30

"Eva is finally here and she is not only one of my favorites, but her kit is one of my favorites too."

  • Evanescia, referred to as Eva, is introduced as a strong character with a unique kit.

  • She boasts high attack potential and the highest energy capacity in the game, allowing her to spam Ultimate abilities frequently.

  • The guide will cover her abilities, Eidolons, and optimal builds, concluding with team compositions.

Ability Priorities and Mechanics 00:50

"When leveling up her abilities, first you'll want to level up her Talent."

  • Focus on leveling up Eva's Talent and Elation Skill first, followed by her Ultimate, while neglecting basic attacks.

  • Eva generates Energy and Certified Banger through her unique mechanics, where gaining Energy also means gaining Certified Banger, and vice versa.

  • This interconnection allows her to use her skills and abilities efficiently, maximizing ultimate generation.

Certified Banger Generation 02:40

"Getting as much Certified Banger as possible is how we generate Eva's Ultimates."

  • Certified Banger is critical for generating Ultimate abilities.

  • Eva's Skills and Eidolons allow her to convert her allies' Certified Banger gains into her own, effectively increasing her Energy and damage output.

  • Specific allies can assist in generating more Banger and overall, this mechanic boosts her performance significantly.

Ultimate Ability and Damage Scaling 04:37

"The Ultimate will attack all enemies and perform 5 bounces to random targets."

  • Eva's Ultimate is a powerful area-of-effect attack that scales with the number of targets, making her effective against both groups and single targets.

  • The multipliers for her Elation damage are significant, with potential up to a 252% increase on bounces depending on Certified Banger levels.

  • Her ultimate execution strategy involves timing and resource management to maximize bounces and damage to priority enemies.

Eidolons and Their Impact on Gameplay 07:29

"Starting with one of the best E1s in the game, Evanescia’s E1 is just a pure beast Eidolon to an already amazing character."

  • Her E1 Eidolon significantly enhances her damage output by providing a RES PEN boost and an additional Elation Skill trigger upon Master Fox's attack.

  • The E2 upgrade improves Certified Banger conversion mechanics, allowing Eva to gain more Banger from allies, amplifying her Energy accumulation and potential damage output.

  • The improvements at E1 and E2 make her a formidable character, paving the way for enhanced synergy with future allies.

Eidolon Levels and Simulations 09:56

"E1 can do better into AoE like PF and also feels amazing in practice because you get so many more instances of damage."

  • Evanescia’s Eidolon levels significantly impact her effectiveness in gameplay.

  • At E1, her damage output improves in AoE scenarios, allowing for better performance and multiple instances of damage, which enhances her damage efficiency.

  • E6 provides a banger duration increase, with scaling Merrymake bonuses to all Elation damage, adding versatility to her skills.

Relics and Planar Setups 10:22

"Evanescia is a slower-paced Elation DPS and can only currently run the Magical Girl set for damage."

  • Currently, Evanescia can effectively utilize the Magical Girl set, which is tailored for her slower-pacing playstyle.

  • The Eagle's effectiveness is reduced since her energy generation is primarily reliant on her allies rather than her own skills.

  • It's vital to prioritize a suitable planar setup, with Punklorde being the main choice, while Izumo serves as a decent alternative despite slightly lesser effectiveness.

Main Stat Choices in Builds 11:16

"For guaranteed main stats we have CRIT DMG Chest and Energy Rope."

  • The ideal main stats for Evanescia's build include a Critical Damage chest and an Energy Rope, which are essential for maximizing her output during battles.

  • For the boots and orb, players can choose based on preference, focusing on Physical DMG% or ATK% for maximum damage output while also considering HP or DEF for better survivability in sustainless builds.

Speed and Action Generation 12:08

"Running lower SPD doesn’t hurt us that much."

  • Lower speed (SPD) can be advantageous for Evanescia as she relies on ally turns for energy generation, allowing for strategic manipulation of Certified Banger uptime.

  • In scenarios such as Memory of Chaos, lower SPD helps maintain valuable buffs and can enhance her overall performance across different cycles of engagement.

Light Cone Recommendations 14:24

"We get scaling Energy Regen Rate dependent on our Max Energy."

  • Evanescia's signature light cone offers significant benefits, including scaling energy generation based on her max energy, making it a priority for her build.

  • While E1 should take precedence over this light cone, it can serve as a strong second upgrade, particularly when considering team dynamics involving additional Elation units.

Team Composition and Synergies 15:36

"The extra Aha Instants every Ultimate not only generate Energy but also Certified Banger."

  • Team synergy is crucial for maximizing Evanescia's potential; thus, pairing her with characters like Yaoguang can enhance energy flow and Certified Banger generation.

  • The team setup encourages a hypercarry scenario where energy and damage buffs consistently support Evanescia, particularly through the utility provided by characters like EMC and Aha.

Team Composition and Energy Management 18:29

"For the fourth slot, Huohuo wins again, and her Energy can properly buff the whole team rather than just two out of three like in Silver Wolf 999 teams."

  • Huohuo is preferred for enhancing team energy across the board, providing more effective buffs compared to Silver Wolf.

  • An energy cap of 480 is noted as beneficial, as it allows for 96 Energy accumulation, greatly enhancing team sustainability.

  • The ability of Eva to enable consistent ultimates for Yaoguang and EMC is highlighted as a significant advantage for group survival.

Survival Strategies with Evanescia 18:58

"If running sustainless, remember about those potential survivability-based main stats on Eva and then pick your poison of universal amp."

  • When using a sustainless build, players are encouraged to consider Eva's survivability stats in their strategy.

  • E4 Welt is identified as the most beneficial due to his strong amplification and defensive attributes.

  • E1 Tribbie is noted for her excellent amplification capabilities, redistributing AoE abilities effectively.

Utilizing Cyrene for Enhanced Performance 19:22

"If you're feeling really cheeky, Cyrene is a really fun and strong fourth slot."

  • Cyrene can add a unique dynamic to team composition, though Non-Chrysos Heirs may lack her distinctive flair.

  • Despite this, maximizing ultimates efficiently is more important for rapid clears, making her a viable option.

  • Wave 1 of MOC can be cleared without Cyrene, allowing for significant ult generation in Wave 2, contributing to a fast-paced strategy.

Evanescia's Ultimate Generation Abilities 19:53

"At E1 Eva, it goes crazy. And it’s not just ultimates; since Evanescia scales her Bangers based on Energy, you’re also looking at hundreds of immediate Bangers."

  • Evanescia's abilities grow exponentially with Energy, leading to a plethora of potent Bangers.

  • This highlights the character's capabilities to generate multiple ultimates in a single turn, greatly increasing overall team effectiveness.
