Elyms

CosmosEchoes on HoldBureau of Anomaly Control, ETD-6

Elyms is a Cosmos Support/Sub-DPS who specializes in Instant Cycle, team buffs, and off-field Follow-Up damage. Her gameplay revolves around raising Connection Strength from Weak to Strong before casting her Ultimate, which scales with her current signal level and lets her continue attacking from off-field. Her Ultimate also grants the team ATK and Follow-Up Attack DMG buffs, allowing the active Main DPS to take over without losing Elyms's contribution.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Strong instant cycle support with off-field Follow-Up damage.
  • Provides teamwide ATK, DEF Ignore, Cosmos RES penetration, and Follow-Up DMG buffs.
  • Signature Arc Echoes on Hold perfectly matches her kit and playstyle.
  • Seamlessly fits into Shinku Charge and Akane Rin Remora teams.

Weaknesses

  • Requires building Connection Strength up to Strong before casting Ultimate to maximize damage.
  • Relatively high setup time on-field before swapping out.
  • Less personal damage if built purely support-oriented without proper CRIT stats.

Best Teams

Elyms Charge Team

Elyms is at her best in Shinku's Charge team where nearly every part of her kit feeds directly into Shinku's Surging Crimson state. Build Elyms to Strong Connection before casting her Ultimate to maximize its damage and the strength of her subsequent coordinated Follow-Up attacks. Once Elyms swaps out, On-the-Line keeps those attacks coming from off-field while her Ultimate supplies teamwide ATK and Follow-Up DMG buffs, leaving Shinku free to take over the field.

Prepare Lakshana through Akane Rin or Hathor and Anima through Iroi before bringing Elyms in.

Use I'm Here to reach Medium Connection, then Crosstalk and Goodbye to You to reach Strong Connection.

Cast Do You Get Deja Vu at Strong Connection for team buffs and coordinated attacks.

Use The Ones Who Left to instantly fill the Esper Meter, then swap to Shinku for the main damage window.

Elyms Remora Team

This setup uses Elyms as a low-field-time Cycle and damage support while Akane Rin handles the team's long on-field strings. Blackbird enables Stain to amplify Akane's Lakshana damage while Elyms can instantly fill the Esper Meter and then continue contributing through On-the-Line Follow-Up attacks after her Ultimate. Her teamwide ATK buff also stays active while Akane builds String Energy and repeatedly reaches Synced Resonance.

Prepare Blackbird or Haniel's setup and Iroi's buffs before Elyms's turn.

Use Elyms's core setup to reach Strong Connection, cast her Ultimate, and trigger the Instant Cycle.

Swap to Akane Rin after the Instant Cycle to handle the main on-field damage window.

Skill Priority

3

I'm Here (Support Skill)

Leave her Support Skill for last. I'm Here deals Cosmos DMG on entry and can immediately raise Elyms from Weak to Medium Connection, granting Optical Illusion and shortening her setup. This is valuable in quick-swap teams but the Connection Strength increase and target scan work without additional skill levels so further investment is less important than upgrading her Ultimate or Redirect Skill.

4

Instant Glitch (Basic Attack)

Upgrade Basic Attack after her two main skills. The final hit of Instant Glitch opens access to Intermittent Existence while the enhanced Crosstalk combo enables Goodbye to You. These strings are useful for reaching Strong Connection but their main purpose is to unlock Elyms's stronger Redirect Skills rather than deal sustained damage on their own.

5

Do You Get Deja Vu (Ultimate)

Prioritize Elyms's Ultimate first because it is her main source of burst damage and determines the damage of her off-field Remembrance Follow-Up attacks. Its damage scales with the Connection Strength she has when casting it, making a Strong Connection Ultimate the centerpiece of her rotation. Her teamwide ATK and Follow-Up Attack DMG buffs also activate through this skill, making it an even more worthwhile first priority.

5

Counting Electric Sheep (Redirect Skill)

Level her Redirect Skill next to strengthen the hits she uses while building Connection Strength. Intermittent Existence raises Weak Connection to Medium while Goodbye to You consumes Optical Illusion stacks for a stronger hit and advances Medium Connection to Strong. Her base Redirect Skill also instantly fills the Esper Meter. These effects are built into the kit and leveling mainly improves the skill's damage.

How to Play

Elyms is a Cosmos Support/Sub-DPS who excels at setting up Strong Connection, casting her Ultimate for massive burst and team buffs, and then triggering an Instant Cycle to swap out and let her Main DPS take over while her off-field Follow-Up attacks automatically fire.

Rotations

  1. 1Akane Rin/Hathor Lakshana Setup → Iroi Anima and Buffs → I'm Here (Weak → Medium) → Crosstalk ×3 → Goodbye to You (Strong) → Do You Get Deja Vu → The Ones Who Left (Instant Cycle) → Swap to Shinku for Charge and Main DPS On-Field Time → Repeat

Tips

  • Always use 'I'm Here' Support Skill at the start to jump straight from Weak to Medium Connection and gain Optical Illusion stacks.
  • Use the enhanced Redirect Skill (Goodbye to You) to reach Strong Connection before casting the Ultimate.
  • Position Elyms near grouped enemies or bosses before using her Support Skill scan to determine the targeting mode of her Ultimate.
  • Time the Instant Cycle reaction chain with Lakshana and Anima application to help the Main DPS regain Ultimate Energy.

<Italic>Instant messaging arose from the human desire to "get an immediate response." A sender can type out "something they want to get off their chest" and receive a reply from the recipient.
<Italic>Such connections are unstable. The recipient interacts with the sender's digital avatar, but whether they get a response depends on the human original.
<Italic>An experiment involving Test Subject #■■■ found that a brief loss of connection between a digital avatar and its human original significantly increased satisfaction on both sides.
