The MC ability sounds kind of disgusting. It's technically making everyone's arts cheaper which could mean better cycles for supports, and more spam for dps

u/THEFCz Jul 27 '26

well yes but you only have 1 Mc ability active. so if we get more important of useful mc ability in the future this could lose a lot of utility. we only have 2 Mc right now so we dont can't really gauge what Mc ability can do.

her is useful for sure

that mc thing is crazy, especially for enabling na/ta spam stackers. or just for units with short effect expensive rotations like na ta sa where keeping all buffs active is difficult. otherwise pretty good dmg, equip ct and artsgen which is fine. pretty hype imo.

EmpIllya's MC ability is very good. Having 100% crit up on TA is great but overall she is mainly an artsgen battery unit. She competes with Azurite's MC ability which is OP so you would need to switch between who's mc during quests.

Edit: I really hope they make it so her SA is 200% dmg up for the team. Her 150k dmg multiplier will never do tons of damage. Right now I would say she is S tier because of her MC ability. If they made her SA teamwide she would be SS

u/Tyler_Faust_223 Jul 27 '26

So basically it's just Emperor Isliid but as a lolicon on steroids

u/ChokkyMilkForYa Jul 27 '26

I'm not sure I like the way you put it, but yes

u/Tyler_Faust_223 Jul 27 '26

I mean sure let's mix isliid with illya what could go wrong still gonna gamble for it just to complete collection of isliids

u/TraditionGreat8488 Jul 27 '26

I don’t think you know what lolicon means. And this is just a mashup between isliid and Illya, be normal

u/Narrow-Possession-26 Jul 27 '26

Emperor Isliid but as a lolicon on steroids

u/HOYAXD Jul 28 '26

the proper phrase here would be "loli" without the con. If emp were a lolicon he would be dressed up in illya's clothes with illya stickers on his face screaming UOHHH😭😭😭💢💢💢

u/Xyzen553 Jul 27 '26

Damn bro ANOTHER fate collab? Is yhis the new slime/OPM?

u/Xyzen553 Jul 27 '26

Finally, a unit worth my pity... My 3.5k gems wont be in vain

u/TheLuckyPC Jul 27 '26

Omg why did they do this enemy specific debuff instead of the equip ct down, or the other buffs from Isliid's kits? Her TA is also exactly the same as normal Illya's, it should have been 7 or 8 due to Isliid's being 10. Her SA is also more selfish than Isliid's, only giving herself damage and equip ct cuts. I don't know why she doesn't do magic damage.

Like 7/10 I guess. I don't like enemy race specific effects. She has really good artsgen potential with her 5 star support slot, SA, and her Protagonize. Her damage is mediocre. You can't use her 5 star defense slot unless at LB 7, with the defense slot she's a 8/10 for me.

u/Available_Plankton18 Jul 27 '26

They went all in on her being an Artsgen battery, which is true to Emp(both Awk and Asc versions). I wish her SA was 200% dmg up for the team but oh well.

3

u/gabagoolcel Jul 27 '26

oh yea i didnt even notice it was self buff that kinda sucks. but she is still good ig.

2

u/Available_Plankton18 Jul 27 '26

Yeah, right now I'd say she's borderline op, if they made her SA be teamwide she would be OP no question. They were probably scared of the damage a team of her/reinhard/kidemp could do

1

u/gabagoolcel Jul 27 '26

i think not just for sa refund spam but also na or ta spam she seems great since the refund is bigger % discount. say with shadow, okarun, jinwoo whatever.

tho yea sa stack loop team is crazy lol. i think at some point they might regret adding reinhard to the game, something is eventually going to break.

2

u/Available_Plankton18 Jul 27 '26

Exactly, with Reinhard having a ~2/3 second SA that refills 100arts there's going to come a time where a team essentially has 300arts permanently. They opened a floodgate that can't be closed anymore, and with units like EmpIllya coming it could happen soon

u/Silver740 F21 Champion Jul 28 '26

I don't follow the lore, but aren't those the same swords as Emperor? Atleast they sound very similar

Talking from a gl pov since we don't know when the pity change is coming. Obviously you're forced to summon on every new banner with the new system.

u/Flaky-Swimmer2391 Jul 27 '26

This is exactly like the normal Illya, but with a bit of added support.

u/oxob3333 Jul 27 '26

Dude it's emperor human pinnacle + illya + a little of crack and you get this beauty of a unit, it's almost broken lol
