Hi♪ Love Elf♥
Elysia
Hi♪ Love Elf♥ is Elysia's S-rank SD-type Ice bow user, protected by Grail of Infinitude. She commands Love Blossoms and little messengers, charges multi-arrow Ultimates and spreads Love's Expanse during Stellar Outburst to buff and heal her team. She was the most used DPS in the top 100 of the v8.5 CN Myriad Abyss, remains a top support for Fenghuang of Vicissitude and Xentinel, and counters SD-type enemies.

Stat targets
- Stigmata affixes: ATK on every piece (Marisa Impact)
- Always fire fully charged Ultimates during Astral Ring Charging
- S0 with full signature gear is enough for most players
Talent priority
Her negative-SP mechanic lets her complete a full Stellar Outburst rotation even without a third Symbiosis teammate; Lone Planetfarer, Herrscher of Finality or Valkyrie Blastmetal can fill the slot (Marisa Impact).
Recommended teams
Grail of Infinitude DPS
Fenghuang of Vicissitude (with her v9.0 Divine Key) is now her primary support, ahead of Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon; the second slot can be Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime, Xentinel or Ba-Dum!. Chenxue is the AstralOp to use.
Grail of Infinitude DPS (Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon)
Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon is her other main support: Breach, big team buffs and 50% longer Freeze. In Marisa Impact's tests, Ba-Dum! scores almost as well as Planar Armament or Xentinel in the second slot.
Wheel of Destiny support (Fenghuang of Vicissitude)
Fenghuang of Vicissitude gains extra damage when an Ice teammate is present, which makes Hi♪ Love Elf♥ her best second support.
How to play
Core loop
- Outside Stellar Outburst, her Weapon Skill plants a magic circle from which Love Blossoms bloom (counts as Combo ATK and Weapon Skill DMG).
- Her Ultimate can be held: it spends 100 SP for the central arrow, then keeps consuming SP for extra arrows. Firing at Love Blossoms creates the Ever-Blooming Garden, and every Ultimate applies Rime (Freeze) Trauma.
- With her signature bow, her Weapon Skill refills her SP to 150 during Astral Ring Charging, which is exactly enough for a fully charged Ultimate.
Astral Ring (Grail of Infinitude)
- During Astral Ring Charging, her Ultimate consumes her Stellar Drain and each fired arrow restores Intensity (up to 10). From SS rank, when she leads, her first fully charged Ultimate restores 5 bonus Intensity once per battle.
- In Stellar Outburst she spreads Love's Expanse, which buffs and heals the team; when it maxes out, or when she fires the maximum number of arrows, she unleashes her Link Ultimate.
- Her 3-piece set gives the team Heart's Splendor for 25s after her Weapon Skill or QTE, Stellar Outburst, Stellar Surplus, or entering as the leader.
SD counter
- She detonates the Critical Value of SD-type enemies, drops extra Stardust remnants and shortens their Consolidated form.
Marisa Impact's loops: Stellar Outburst = Weapon x2, full Basic ATK, Weapon x2, Ultimate finisher, then ATK until Outburst is ready. Astral Ring Charging = Weapon, fully charged Ultimate, Basic ATK x2.
Strengths
- Strong Ice DPS and the top pick in her favourable match-ups (most-used DPS in the v8.5 CN top 100).
- Great support: best partner for Fenghuang of Vicissitude and a top pick for Xentinel.
- Counters SD-type enemies and applies Freeze Trauma.
- Heals the team with Love's Expanse, and her set is craftable.
Weaknesses
- Despite using a bow, she cannot target weak spots (e.g. the MHT-3B tank), so Herrscher of Human: Ego is still needed there.
- Relies on her signature bow for the SP refill that makes her rotation work.
- Newer battlesuits come first for new or F2P players (Marisa Impact).
Notable dupes · Rank
Stronger team buffs as a Wheel of Destiny and World Star support.
Any evasion can trigger her 3s Time Fracture evasion skill, which is nice in the Memorial Arena.
Her evasion skill chains into Basic ATK SEQ 4, which refills SP to 150, and as the leader her first fully charged Ultimate restores 5 extra Astral Ring Intensity: a smoother DPS rotation.
