［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya Analysis

Skill Analysis

Powerful Retaliator With Some Setup Involved

Skill	Skill Effect
God Curses the Light	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 11) Activates if Illya is enhanced with［God’s Curse Unleashed］. Deals 4 physical attacks equal to 340% of Illya’s ATK to enemies at random. After this skill activates, it will have no skill cooldown time.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 21) Additionally, before dealing the physical attacks, if a target is afflicted with a debuff, the physical attack’s damage to that target is multiplied by 1.5.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 101) The number of physical attacks becomes 5.
	Level 4 (Unlocks by level 181) The physical attacks’ damage becomes equal to 440% of her ATK.

Skill	Skill Effect
Blessing of God’s Curse	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 41) At the start of the battle, this skill grants［Devotion］to Illya (cannot be dispelled).［Devotion］makes Illya substitutively take 20% of the damage taken by another ally (this damage counts as taking an attack). If an ally, including Illya, is attacked, and the total number of times an ally, including Illya, has taken attacks becomes 10 or more (for attacks that are dealt to multiple targets, each hit to an ally, including Illya, is counted), or if the number of allies other than Illya who are alive becomes 0, this skill’s［Devotion］is dispelled, and this skill grants［God’s Curse Unleashed］to Illya for 2 turns (cannot be dispelled). This skill activates only 1 time per battle (in consecutive battles that take place in Guild Battles and Grand Battles, this skill activates 1 time each battle).
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 121) The number of turns of［God’s Curse Unleashed］becomes 5.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 201) The number of turns of［God’s Curse Unleashed］becomes 8.

Skill	Skill Effect
The Angel Who Bears “0”	Level 1 (Unlocks by Level 61) When an ally, including Illya, is attacked, the damage to Illya from that same enemy’s 2nd attack and onwards in the same turn is cut by 30% (for attacks that are dealt to multiple targets at the same time, they are counted as 1 attack regardless of how many times they deal damage). When she takes damage that would reduce her HP to 0, she survives with 1 HP, and restores HP equal to 20% of her max HP to her. The effect that lets Illya survive with 1 HP activates only 1 time per battle.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 141) Additionally, at the start of the battle, grants 1 layer of［Multi-Barrier］to Illya (cannot be dispelled). If she takes damage, 1 barrier layer is depleted to nullify the damage.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 221) The damage from the enemy’s attack is cut by 70%.

The God's Curse version of［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya is great for retaliation against powerful enemies, though it does require a bit of setup. You'll need to pair her with witches that can take more than a few blows, and others who can boost her defensive or evasive capabilities. Once your party has taken 10 hits or has been wiped out with only Illya remaining, her buff 'God's Curse Unleashed' is activated - which eliminates the cooldown of her powerful Active Skill 'God Curses the Light.'

From there on in, as long as［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya is alive, she will definitely wipe the floor with the enemy party.

Has Her Own Accuracy Self-Buffs

Skill	Skill Effect
Surge of Providence	Level 1 (Unlocks by default) Increases Illya’s chance to hit by 50% for 1 turn, and deals 10 physical attacks equal to 140% of her ATK to the enemy directly in front of her. If this skill is used for the 3rd time and onward during battle, the consecutive attacks’ damage is multiplied by 3.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 81) Additionally, if the target is not defeated by this skill, dispels 1 buff from them, and deals 1 physical attack equal to 580% of Illya’s ATK to them.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 161) The initial consecutive attacks’ damage becomes equal to 180% of her ATK.

Illya's 'Surge of Providence' skill not only unleashes a flurry of attacks but raises her ACC as well. This makes sure that none of her attacks (especially when she finally gets her 'God's Curse Unleashed' buff going) miss the enemy.

Recommended Runes

Give［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya SPD, PM. DEF Break, EVD, and CRIT RES Runes

Whether or not［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya will be your main or secondary attacker, it's best to give her PM DEF Break, SPD, ATK, and CRIT runes for her offensive runes. For defensive runes, give her EVD, HP, CRIT RES, and Debuff RES runes. However, you may want to consider trading up the Debuff RES rune for a P. or M. DEF rune instead.

［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya Best Team Comps

Retaliator Party (PvE)

Buffer	Attacker	Buffer	Debuffer	Attacker
Merlyn	Florence	Mertillier	Soltina	Witch Illya

If you don't have the resources to level Illya up, you can use her as a secondary attacker in your party that can retaliate after taking damage. The danger is that［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya may end up using up her one revive and then die shortly after, so it's better to bring along witches who can take a beating like Soltina.

God's Curse Party (PvE)

Buffer	Attacker	Tank / Debuffer	Tank / Debufer	Debuffer
Dian	Witch Illya	Soltina	Nina	Hathor

If you have the resources to level up Illya sufficiently, you can use her as a main attacker for your party. However, it will hinge on her activating the God's Curse Unleashed buff.

So to enable her to survive until the conditions are met, pair her with witches that can soak up damage like Soltina and Nina, as well as witches that debuff the enemy's attack power like Hathor. Dian is also a good choice to bring along since she can boost［The Witch of God’s Curse］Illya's EVD - increasing her survivability even further.
