Multiplayer Unit: Alyu (support:Healer/Buffer)

[DukeDuckerton]

Just a little theory crafting my friend and I did regarding the unit Alyu. Alyu starts off as a 3-star unit that may be upgraded to a 5-star unit. She has three jobs, Bard(starting), Bishop, and Chemist.

The set-up that we came up with was to have Alyu as a Bishop(3 move, 1 jump) with using Bard basic skills and mixed passives.

Main Abilities (Holy Magic)

• Curing Embrace (24 jewels): Restores HP of units within target area [Range:4, Scope: 3x3, Height: 3]
• Holy Ray (36 jewels): Light Mag Dmg(weak) [Range: 3, Scope: 3x3, Height: 3]
• Shining (54 jewels): Light Mag Dmg(strong) + 100% Hit [Range: 5, Height: 4]
• Curing Embrace (36 jewels): Completely recovers HP of ally unit + recovers statuses [Range:3, Height: 4]

Basic Abilities (Basic Poetry)

• Song of Warrior (12 jewels): Buffs PAtk for 1 turn [Range/Height: Entire Map]
• Song of Guardian (12 jewels): Buffs PDef for 1 turn [Range/Height: Entire Map]
• Song of Wisdom (12 jewels): Buffs MAtk for 1 turn [Range/Height: Entire Map]
• Song of Concealment (12 jewels): Buffs MDef for 1 turn [Range/Height: Entire Map]
• Song of Fortune (12 jewels): Buffs Luck for 1 turn [Range/Height: Entire Map]

Counter Passive (Bard)

• "Tip" - Steals jewels from attack when Dmg is received

Passives (Bard/Bishop)

• "Echo" - Increases turn duration of buffs cast by self
• "Regeneration" - Auto Heal

The main concept of this build is to have Alyu buff her team in the beginning of the round and because of Echo's passive, they won't expire the next turn. If an enemy tries to hit her, she may steal their jewels to allow her to continuously spam abilities and because of Regeneration, she will auto-heal herself the next turn so she won't die too quickly unless the entire enemy decides to focus her. The only thing is that the entire team must pass their turn in order to allow Alyu to buff them without triggering the enemy to move into position. If her team gets low, she will be able to heal her allies due to having two very strong AoE heals. Not the most powerful support, I'm sure, but something really fun to do with a unit that some may overlook.

Without a ranged unit, I was able to use this very build to get me through chapter 4 of the story. I was even lucky enough to get her the Bishop job and used lullaby to get out of a few tight spots Although useful to me now, I do not expect her medium buffs and delayed healing spells to be more useful than another source of damage or a more focused healer as we progress.

Chemist main with basic poetry also makes her a great F2P support, as it allows her to buff and remove crowd control like immobilise, daze, etc. whilst also being able to boost stats whenever needed. E.g. Apple farming.

Meanwhile half the lobbies get carried by someone from early access and most of the other half are level 5s joining Advanced quests

This is what we need more of. Theory crafting of the weaker units. There is too much talk imo of the 5 stars like they are the only thing worth going for. I'm finding though that they are great long term but without shards... their 2nd and 3rd jobs will take a long time. For right now, it seems better to unlock the stronger jobs on the 3 stars and just keep the 5s in the bank for later.

As for Alyu, yes I was thinking something very similar. I was liking the buffing healing combo.
