The Evanescia Victim Shi is Getting out of Hand
I don’t hate Evanescia but we need to get some facts straight. I don’t understand lying about her not having anything going for her and then at the same time saying she is always better than SW (from other people), this person is furthermore saying she will be better in the future???
I am aware that she is stronger at lower cost but unfortunately the way her kit is designed makes her peak very early on, that’s just the harsh truth.
Considering future supports, an energy providing one makes no sense. She gets ult every Aha instant or 80% like they said but only if your at low investment, and between the timing of aha instants, the timing of Yaos ult, the timing of Evanescias elation skills, as well as the timings of character actions (since she gains cb whenever others lose it), trying to make an energy support that will actually be beneficial to her is being VERY optimistic since Eva already wastes bits of energy at E1 due to additionall elation skills queuing before ults.
The support can go from providing meaningful value by giving her 200% energy to providing nothing over the course of the next 100AV simply cus 1 aha instant, 1 Yao ult, 1 EMC ult as well as Yao and EMC losing cb therefore giving Eva cb, just happens to come within that 100 Av, giving Eva several ults and elation skills. An energy support will just be wasted utility cus they can’t provide consistent value and in this meta something like that isn’t good enough. What would be better is a character that can dupe ults like Cerydra can dupe skills.
The undeniable truth is that the best way to play Evanescia is by making use of the CB economy and as such elation characters, but even when following this route you meet a hard cap instantly cus she already reaches the cb cap at E1S1.
Even if you don’t get the E1 and instead invest in some support that gives her as much value later on, the fact still remains that you will reach this peak at 4-6 Cost after which everything CB related just kinda becomes redundant.
Certified banger is her best resource and she already caps it early so one way I see her getting stronger is through punchline as her elation skill is the only thing with room for growth in her kit, but it does more dmg in aoe scenarios so that means she will kinda just turn into a pure fiction bot with that, which is kinda sad. Even more sad is the fact that SW will gain more from a punchline buffing support than she will😭. Higher dmg on her elation skill which does way more dmg than Evanescias, and she will cap her MMR faster which means you get more crit conversion early and she does the sword more which is already a dmg increase as the sword does the most dmg.
There is legit no way Evanescia ages better than SW, heck Acheron AS A CHARACTER has more potential than her and she’s one of the worst aged dps in the game.
Now for the part about her having nothing going for her in terms of teamates, and saying EMC is useless. EMC provides:
- 20 CB from skill
- 50 crit dmg from ult
- 10 cb from ult
- 1 elation skill from ult = more cb for Eva
- 30% elation from technique for 3 turns which is more than the S5 F2P mushy shroomy lc (additionally great for a character that doesn’t need to take turns to deal dmg, the buff could last the entire battle with ATK boots Eva)
- E1 increases Cb gained by all allies
- E2 gives extra 12% elation to Eva
- E4 is 10% vuln
- Additionally can run Herta shop lc which means extra 24% elation for Eva (keep in mind elation is so good that SW prefers speed over crit even after 200 spd)
Also are we just going to conveniently ignore that EMC is an elation character and as such gives Eva their cb when aha instant starts and when they lose cb, which gets better with E2 Eva.
But apparently 50% of this is useless and they are no better than Sparkle who provides crit dmg, atk(which barely does anything), res pen, but NO ELATION STATS, and advances Evanescia WHICH IS BAD, because Certified banger will run out faster.
What next? Yall are gonna say Yaoguang is useless for her😭.
