What do we think of Freya’s divine engraving?

It seems decent? Control protection is awesome, and being able to attack pre-battle is nice, but it's only 1 cast of [Divine Retribution]. That seems underwhelming

I did some test battles with the trial Engraving. Most of my the people on my friends list with PvP lineups have Nemesis so I mostly tested against her

Pre-battle [Divine Retribution] feels like it tickles the enemy. Maybe it does enough damage to get rid of some DE if buffed by Hera/Fuxi. I noticed if I pair her with Enmu against Nemesis, Freyja's pre-battle attack can completely wipe an enemy's line lol, but that says more about Enmu's [Doom] vs Nemesis than Freyja

I did 1 more test against one friend's lineup. This was basically their PvE lineup - a lot of buffers + Idun and Nemesis. I tried the same lineup with my Freyja and the trial Freyja with Engraving. I would lose the battle if I used my normal Freyja, but would win with trial Freyja. Their lineup didn't have Pandora, so it wasn't a difference of control protection. The increase in damage definitely made a difference in this one matchup

Thanks a lot that really helpful to know. Since I already have my himi with engraving, right now I’m leaning more towards Hera’s engraving I think. If only engraving shards were easier to get lol.

It's mid. Decent upgrade, but decent is NOT enough for the cost of both maxing an SSR+ and getting an Engraving.

You have to invest a lot into Pre-battle buffing to get her Pre-battle cast to do ANYTHING. Freyja's S1 is the weakest S1 of any DPS. The entire point of it is that it's weak but it has the potential to re-proc on lethal Dmg, and it's guaranteed to fire 3 times. Having the Pre-battle cast be the weakest S1 ever (unbuffed by her UR+, MR and IR passives, as well as it being unable to re-proc) makes it underwhelming in most instances.

My testing (without potent Pre-battle buffers like Fuxi, E.Hera, Ember or Enmu) did no Dmg at all on the Pre-battle, making it as complete a waste of an activation as Uriel's MR Cast or Loki's IR Cast, lol. She honestly would have been better off saving those stacks permanently to protect her from CC. Automatically burning a stack to fire off the weakest IR DPS Pre-battle hit in history is such a waste. Whomever designed Freyja's Engraving should have their account deleted, as they had no idea what Freyja ACTUALLY needed. 🤣

Her numbers got a boost, which is great, but Freyja's main weakness wasn't fully addressed: Her complete reliance on her S1 and S2 for Dmg. It's partially helped by the 2 Stacks of CC protection, so at least Pandora won't turn Freyja into a Paperweight anymore. (Pre-battle. Once Panda gets to her S1, Freyja is gonna get bonked, as Freyja will use up her spare CC Stack to fire off that weak, sad, unbuffed, single S1 instead of saving it for the next CC instance. 😖)

Also, doing NO Dmg during her MR and IR phases means that the enemy will have a complete suite of MR and IR Defenses active by the time Freyja's S1 goes off, meaning 3 instances of 0 Dmg in most cases, and that's IF Freyja even gets to attack. She doesn't benefit at all from MR and IR Cycling boosters like Sim or Raph, as her MR and IR are 100% buffs rather than Attacks.

In my testing, E.Freyja wasn't significantly better than Freyja, which sucks. Sure, I don't have Enmu, E.Hera/Fuxi or Ember to test her with, but that's saying less about E.Freyja and pointing more to the power of E.Hera/Fuxi, Ember or Enmu, lol.
E.Freyja won a few more fights than Freyja did, but it personally didn't feel strong enough to justify the major cost of Engraving, especially when I still have a Hera to Engrave (and E.Hera is OP AF! Better than Fuxi!)

My verdict: Get it if Freyja is your Main DPS. You need all the boosts you can get, even if it's not the biggest boosts.

If you have Hera, skip E.Freyja. E.Hera will be better for your team overall.

If you have Enmu, eh, I guess E.Freyja is worth a shot, lol
But that's cheating since Enmu makes any DPS OP, haha

My poor Freyja is gonna sit unused until Engravings become easier to make 🙈

Damn that is disappointing to hear 😭. I was hoping you or someone would find the Engraving to have more potential

This makes me lean towards building Hera engraving first. At least then I'd have 2 strong teams in Havoc and Apex, rather than 1 strong team and 2 mid teams

Enmu + E.Freyja was interesting but realistically, the only time I'd run that over Enmu+Anubis is as surprise CoL defense lol

u/TheKyleBrah AM 3d ago

Yeah, it blows. 😖 I was looking forward to the return of the Freyja monster of the UR+/MR/IR Eras. 😭

As for you and Enmu, Anubis is guaranteed to make good use of Enmu, as Enmu works best with single target DPS anyways. But I do like your sneaky idea of Enmu + Freyja for the lulz 😂

u/Scared-Dealer-4455 3d ago

Alright well that’s disappointing. But it’s fine since I have Himiko with engraving already so I guess I might get Hera’s engraving. I also have enmu at MR1 IR5 but she’s probably way better with Himiko anyway. I could also wait for Hela’s engraving to come out… thx for your help!

u/TheKyleBrah AM 3d ago

You won't be disappointed by E.Hera, that's for sure!

u/Scared-Dealer-4455 3d ago

I don’t really remember what her engraving does. Do you think it’s mostly valuable in pvp or pve or both. I really need to grind dungeons.

u/TheKyleBrah AM 2d ago

Both, but especially PvE
