Festive Eda - First Thoughts & Initial Impressions [Epic Seven]

[@raze2012_]

Solitaria, you a real one 🙏

[@DarkrulerjoeGaming]

I actually didn't catch that her artifact is 12% push per target debuffed. I was sitting there thinking it was just the little 12% push (or 24% push in case of her Passive) and thought it was one of the worst Limited Artifacts we got lol. But honestly, now that it looks like it's per debuffed target, I can definitely see the value in it. I could just imagine this being super strong on Dizzy, Broman and SBA...Hell even usable on Fire Ara so that even when you don't land all 4 Unhealable she'd still get the 100% CR. But hey, at least its another fun Silence unit to work with Green Yufine...Was getting kinda tired with only Zio and Broman being possible combo units with her.

[@BigDaddyRich69]

There is multiple units that fulfill her role good if not better,she is just a simp bait banner and guess what,I'm already simping

[@blahblahgdp]

I only simp for brown dust thankfully. E7 fills my cool heroes void though

[@abdullatif6715]

If they wanted her to be counter for ML Luna, they can make her cleansing ability tied to her S3 like (when this skill is available at the start of the turn, dispels all debuffs). So her s2 will be available and she will be so scary turn 2 opener to fight against. Another thing is why S3 that cannot strip before her S2 that can strip? actually messed up.

[@ikebplays9468]

If only her Shyness also activates when she’s countered/attacked after her S3 (removing her stealth), and potentially activating Expected Outcome, she could be better.

[@ExpelMire]

I'm just rejoicing to get a new shiny silence book mage opener to combo with my green Yufine :) 7:50 if the opponent decides to never use his skills because of Eda, that's a win for Eda though. Part about Monk is true, Luna as well, but it's also true for every single character with a passive that will come out in the future, and they're not going to give every single one of them protection against seal. Can be annoying to monk still, since she can seal only one enemy, might make for a painful decision between her and someone else with a strong passive. I think her kit was more aimed against Lua, who she does counter fully : can't be slept because of stealth, can't be reset, but will be stripped by Lua's S3 to proc S2. Lua is less present in the meta I believe however, so a bit late for that unfortunately. Her largest issue that will be more consistent is the lack of strip in S3 making a simple immunity set a threat to her imo (but only to her S3, her big S2 animated attack does have a strip and doesn't care).

[@pranavkarmarkar]

Isn't her S3 straightup inferior to AoL's S3 though? AoL additionally dispels and it's a non-attack for her to boot.

[@ExpelMire]

​@@pranavkarmarkar I'm personally happy for it to be an attack so it can push Yufine :) It being an attack or not doesn't really make it better, neither type is more powerful, both have their very different counters. Lack of strip is annoying however, and likely her worst issue yes. Compared to AoL it was likely a balance tradeoff of her power budget, as Eda's kit does more than hers in the other parts.

[@minecraftliker3]

To me she was meant to counter monk but they made a huge oversight with monk's seal...

[@hybrid8716]

She. Is. ADORABLE!!

[@tinustrotyl7496]

I see at least two good reasons for summoning this beauty. Let's go!

[@chillhour6155]

E7 2d animation's are always top tier, amazing artists they have over there

[@ZAYKONN]

She's very similar to Bybliss imo, where if you're attacked you do an extra attack that breaks def., it's alot less restrictive when compared to Bybliss but at the same time it's alot more gimicky. She could be an interesting character to follow up on NMLuna since she got Silence and DBreak but it still requires someone to counter her. (At least I assume it works that way since the S2 says "After attacking") The pushback is definetly the selling point, it delays Laia and, with enough Eff., even cleansers. Tho I think the only way she becomes viable is if Candy makes her viable as she's the one unit that somehow always counters and can possibly take out Stealth after Eda uses S3 and even then, Bybliss is still better.

[@kky7346]

Her skill triggers are more similar to Ed's where you need to be attacked for the skills to activate properly. But her skills and skill cycling is more like Fumyr since after her s2 + s3 she is pretty useless.

[@awesum7944]

run her in mudwig cleaves into full tank comps with abyssal yufine or albedo and 3-4 tanks on the team? you can guarantee/almost guarantee an aoe to break her out of stealth and her def break helps especially when they like to postban units like ran, and she can carry a book too.

[@CronoTime]

Or you slow her down so she goes second after your ML luna or whatever and her S2 procs You're assuming that everyone has god gear and she will go first

[@kevinacr3851]

This is the VERY first time in my veteran time of playing E7 where I'll skip a limited unit and artifact. She just doesn't seem worth the potential 605 bookmarks. I prefer to wait for Eliza.

[@natsuk653]

The other one isn't Eliza though? it's a new unit

[@kevinacr3851]

@@natsuk653 it's not, my bad. haha Yup, it's a new character. I'm still as thrilled though.

[@bullylucifer7533]

​@@natsuk653 who is it ?😅 I think it's Eliza since the penguin 🐧

[@Sputnik42]

If the artifact works as you described in the video then it could potentially be crazy on Solitaria. Though I'm not sure I'd take off Ftene's artifact for it.

[@myssoferia2191]

As a debuff reliant player that got screwed by ban protected ml achates, atywin, lulucar, djb, or even bride senya and bmh... Her kit isnt appetizing at all, even more when i have limited number of gear suited for speed effectiveness unit. Terrible against meta cleave too since she either got sealed or will never get turn because ludwig, ice eda, pavel, jacko just lap u

[@Aneuo]

She’s cute! How can she not be possibly op! She’ll perma stun her opponents with nosebleeds and ignore er :)

[@kelvocelsius]

MY BOY BENIMARU HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG 7:57

[@Nirski]

what do you mean with "if the enemy has aoe attacks and doesn't use them, then she's completely useless"? You've already successfully deterred enemies from using AoE attacks, and you can punish reckless RNG such as candy salvo by pushing the entire team back and stripping buffs, not sure how this isn't a win for her

[@im_Tsu]

I don't like the idea of my opponent needing to get unlucky for my character to do something. For other characters like Ambitious Tywin & Death Dealer Ray, they don't need to press. S2 + S1 on Ray let's him still execute his gameplan and injure you down. Tywin can just sit there, hold Aurius, nullify your S3 with his passive, and drain your Souls with his S1. It's not really a win for Eda if she has no threat behind them not pressing. This is why Celine was terrible before and why Benimaru is bad now. If CLilias doesn't press, she just runs down Celine/Benimaru with S1s until she's secured a winning position. I do not believe Eda can walk you down the same way. If her damage numbers are really impressive, then that changes things. S3 though is just a silence in a meta where even AoL doesn't see much usage and the threat of spamming Blind on S1 doesn't do much to dissuade meta RTA units from just doing their thing.

[@09ALPHAROGUE]

4 turn CD on shyness just feels wrong considering all its stipulations. Imo it should be a 2 turn CD like Albedo S2 or Celine S2

[@nicholassitter6400]

I think she's secretly a mid speed bulky counter unit that tricked everyone into thinking she's an opener.

[@AnomalyVoid]

looks like another benched summer unit, what new...maybe that other summer unit will help us deal with one of the meta units. One can hope

[@Hwybytb]

the fact that they almost lost in the showcase vid is insane xd ( one more elbris and the whole team was dead), tho i'll say she looks nice as a t2 cleave setup unit but the problem is that this playstyle doesn't really exist in e7.

[@MrMisties]

I mean if they just sb s1'd the sharklotte the first turn they won MUCH more easily. I have no idea why they used s3

[@DrROBschiz]

No I think you nailed it. Even though her 120 speed would suggest you she should be fast I think she mostly works as a unit to punish and bait out AoE's that remove her stealth to get the S2 bat back going. Otherwise you need to find a way to pressure the opponent to want to go after her as a priority target. Obviously the Sealing units completely shut her down but since there are only really 2 main ones in the meta she could certainly still see play. Plus we forget that just because a Unit has a something that counters them it doesn't mean there aren't teammates she could be ran with the offset that and make it really difficult to deal with.

[@minecraftliker3]

i agree but since she clearly is meant to go into nak after her with how her s3 doesn't get cd increased, it sucks that they made the oversight of nak's seal.

[@mrwildcrocs]

she counter zio, lua, ran, peira, atywin, clilias. but her s3 makes her supposed to take first turn either.

[@minecraftliker3]

She is clearly meant to go againts monk after her with her s3 not being effected by her but it indeed gets messed up by a huge oversight of the seal... (not even the holding is as bad as this since a monk with no s3 is way worse than one with it tbh) The high base speed to me is to help with stats with speed set so you can get bulk and eff. Also she is a great flavor win all around with her kit which makes that oversight even more bad feeling...

[@dokhanh1094]

It's too early to say she's bad One situation I think she's good into is vs ML Poli. You put Eda on Immunity set with Protect set on tank or just put her on Guide to decision artifact, ML Poli can only remove 2 buff which include stealth. Eda will not be push back thanks to immunity and S3, S2. If ML Poli decide not to S3, then Eda will just silence her next turn. She'll work into Peira and ML Roana as well (if you use Guide to decision). 1 hit will push her up and reverse cleave

[@im_Tsu]

@dokhanh1094 This is the one scenario I mention she is good in...as a counter character to heroes like Sea Phantom Politis. This puts her in the same boat as Holiday Yufine...only good versus a small subset of openers. I do think Eda is better than Yufine for sure but she doesn't seem that practical for thr average player.

[@rex.raymond]

How does Iela's Violin would work with her? Will it be any good?

[@im_Tsu]

You'd S3, strip, then activate S2 to ...strip again?

[@countereclipse]

nightmare artifact for more damage and chance to strip.

[@iCom3nt]

I'll be honest, I hate that the S3 has a CUT from a still image into an animation. I think it would work best if it eased the animation from the still image instead

[@wolfafe]

Love the unit and the VA, hate the kit. I'm gonna cope that she will get buffed, because i seriously struggle thinking about how to use her besides just adding her in a comp that would win 3v4 so she's just there to look pretty.

[@OmegaZyklon]

I think calling this kit 5/10 is too generous. Everything is too clunky, skills trigger in the reverse order that you'd want. They gave her a massive amount of debuffs and no starting eff. They made her really fast for a mage, and then gave her a kit that wants to go after openers (and maybe even after 250 spd debuffers like Atywin/DDR). Like nothing makes sense. Thankfully she's at least super hot.

[@spacialsonic7779]

Shyness buff dont make her immune to debuffs on the world of Seal 7 I dont see any Cr push to Punish the opponent when she lose the Stelph Her Arty maybe insane on other control units

[@Asmodius37]

What you fail to realize is aside from potential wardrobe malfunctions from her swimsuit, we should all remember that if she sucks that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as it is in the good way. In terms of booba score, she is maybe mid or a bit above average so consider that. As most know who know me, I'm an expert at this game who has NEVER been defeated in RTA, so I know what I'm talking about. Good luck on your pulls and nice to see your vids as always Tsu.

[@im_Tsu]

@@Asmodius37 No shot she's mid lol To be fair though, everyone looks mid compared to Luna.

[@Goku0467]

huge buffs.

[@hybrid8716]

This is the aggro character you take when you realize theres no way you're outspeeding that opponent, but you could trap them.

[@natsuk653]

Exactly, and she's also pretty good against debuffers since most of them aren't running immunity in case she outspeeds them and if they outspeed her they won't be able to go all out against her

[@koustuvjena2701]

nice

[@freakris]

At least her design is gorgeous. I hope she turns out to be good as well.

[@gateu597]

Forget the arti, just slap Book on her, you will be fine

[@pranavkarmarkar]

Bonkers character, and "bonkers" not in a good way. This kit would have worked like 2-3 years ago, but it's too late now. RIP. Eda's really cute though, so we pull regardless.

[@princesharming8693]

I hope they are going to adjust her properly sooner or later

[@wendersonemanuel9377]

Yeah, her kit is controversial, and even more so for a limited unit, she does not live up to her title. It looks like a pattern of releasing two limited units and they being not that great.

[@kiprasking8581]

Weird kit in this hell of a Meta

[@-forcexkin-2747]

Beni is seeing play in emp so I wont have this slander!

[@hanzulco]

Skill set isn't interesting, but her design is enough reason

[@sieg11ful]

Since when benimaru is completely useless? Wtf are you talking about?

[@im_Tsu]

@sieg11ful Have you tried using him in high level World Arena?

[@harleyjordan7959]

Beni isn't useless at all. He's great against cilias, Lua, Nahkwol, Ran (to a lesser extent), and anyone with an extra turn. Is it niche? Oh, yeah. But in his pocket, he's awesome.

[@cd6583]

only in arena tho, he gets wrecked in rta if they know what theyre doing

[@BigDaddyRich69]

exactly,I ruin extra turn teams with Beni hence why my Straze doesnt have his tachi as arti

[@harleyjordan7959]

@cd6583 oh yeah. Arena and gw are about all he's good for. It editor be really hard to make him work in rta

[@chillhour6155]

So good against units no one uses in the current meta ?

[@natsuk653]

@@chillhour6155 Really? because i swear I've been seeing people use all of these four characters though not often
