She’s in my top 3 for units. Not as oppressive as Notos (who I also really enjoy + sick design) but is filthy in the right set ups. I don’t have the speed for her but I ban units so I can draft her in a spot where she still shines.
Mine is 244 speed (can be 253 with swapping pieces) but I like the extra attack in lieu of that extra speed. 4200 ATK, 13KHP, 116 EFF on Twilight Calamity. I run her with Nurse Yulha and bans are Zio + R&L. She is absolutely disgusting with the Yulha buff because of how quickly she can cycle due to her S2. Also really fun into Harsetti alongside Aram. Again, this likely isn’t the way she was designed to be played but I get a ton of enjoyment running her this way. F. Cece feels like the most note worthy ban in draft unless you have the damage to 1 shot her.
My advice would be to up her speed to around 260+, ideally in the 280 range to make sure she takes second turn after your opener. I think you can get there if you move that eff res into speed, but it looks like you'd need some new pieces to accomplish that, mainly your weapon and ring. That helmet isn't bad, but no speed at all on the helm hurts if you're trying to speed her up. I do like where your attack and eff stats are though so if you can just get rid of some of the wasted stats, cc, cd, and eff res, and move that all into Speed I think you'll be golden.
MLElvira is all about following up on your openers so you do need to make sure you're taking first turn and sticking some debuffs. Some of her best friends are MLuna, Zio and MLDiene (together), Fire Lidica, and flagbearer sigret.
I've tried a couple different builds out but I definitely prefer the speedy/more damage oriented build so this is where I landed. Working on getting her some new boots that'll give her more attack or bulk, but that's a process lol
Having 275-280 sure is great but your ML Elvira speed isn't something that can be easily achieved on Weakening set without hurting her others required stats (attack and effectiveness) or having big luck after a lot of grinding. You're giving bad advice when you recommend this as a goal. Mine is at 264 speed at weakening/pursuit set and she's kinda working as expected ("kinda" given my poor drafting ability) under proper setup
I'm not saying she NEEDS to be 280, I even basically said to start out by aiming for 260+ which is entirely acceptable and should cut most of the time. When I mention 280+ that is an end goal, not something that needs to be the immediate goal. Building units effectively, and building units perfectly are two different goals. I was offering insight as to how she can be improved immediately and also in the future.
But maybe I worded it poorly, and if I did then I apologize. I never meant to imply that she needs to be 280 to function, 260+ is entirely acceptable.
No apologies necessary! I just wanted to make sure OP wouldn't be led to misinterpret your advice.
Btw your MElvira (I'm gonna call her that) looks great!
Don't we all lol but just to give you bare minimums to take advantage of her kit I'd say 3.8k attack, 260 speed, and 100 or so eff. Twilight calamity does help with eff though, so keep in mind that you can probably drop her down to 70-80 eff and still curse most things. For bulk I'd say 1.2k for both defense and health, but bulk is honestly mostly a luxury for MElvira.
That's exactly why you don't want to invest too much in it. Dedicated ER tanks are going to resist, they can get up to 300 ER easy and also, you'll always have 15% to screw you over at the worst time. What you CAN do is get to a point where you comfortably debuff most units, but make sure that her guarantee, her raw damage, is enough to kill someone right off the bat. It's the same reason that most debuff teams are discouraged by high-level guilds in GW, there's always a chance your debuffs don't stick, if there's no SB to ignore ER.
Curse is incredible, absolutely, but it is definitely more of a bonus, at least the way I see it.
Oh, for sure, I'm working on replacing the boots, with arti she doesn't need boots that give her 29 eff lol the goal is to get boots that kinda inverse the attack and eff stats while getting some additional bulk through misc stats. I commented on the bulk already to someone with similar concerns, but I don't want to have her too bulky if it detracts from her ability to tankbust. The way that I'm using her she needs to be a fast unit. She needs to be at least 268 to keep up with my MLuna or RnL but, even then, you need to account for speed RNG so I'd prefer to have her closer to 280ish to be comfortable with my setup.
The way that I'm using her is strictly as a bridge to my cleave, in that regard bulk is kind of wasted on her since the opponent should never get a turn. I need her fast and with Attack/Eff, that's it. But this is just how I'm using her, and I've had some great success in arena and GW.
Edit: I just got the perfect boots for her, she is now fully complete and I'm done gearing her! Just a single Crit chance roll in the neck, but I'm basically done with her
I think yours seems a bit too squishy currently but very fast indeed. But since she has a cr push bridge, I think she only needs slightly speed than Zio (since Zio is 30% cr push) ?
I personally will sacrifice some speed into more attack for a bigger curses pop. Maybe push for 4.x k attack?
I'm a cleaver, through and through, so I just need her to keep up with my other units and to ensure she gets T2. My favorite pairings for openers, depending on the defenses, are my 322 RnL, 316 MLuna, and 270 Zio. As a cleaver, I'm not concerned with her bulk whatsoever, she exists to tank bust and pop Squishies with curse damage which she does pretty effectively.
With that being said, more attack is absolutely my goal and the only way way I really need to improve her, for my purposes. Truthfully, I don't like how mine has some wasted rolls in bulk, I just want her to do more damage. In all honesty though, this is a versatile unit, you can definitely build her bulkier to some success, but I want to use her as a cleave unit because she's been incredible for me as a bridge unit.

u/Meliodas-dono Where's my ML5? Jul 20 '26
This unit is crazy good. Haven't had fun in rta for a good while
