Elimine Skills at 5★

Staff of the Saint Might: 14　 Range: 2 Foe cannot counterattack. At start of turn, grants Def/Res+6 to allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn and inflicts 【False Start】 on foes in cardinal directions of unit with Res < unit's Res. (In Summoner Duels, If False Start is inflicted at the same time that any start-of-turn effects trigger for the opponent, effects will still trigger, with the exception of those that restore HP or deal damage.) 【False Start】 Through their next action, target cannot activate skill effects that trigger at start of turn. (Start-of-turn effects that cause unit to transform or that refresh availability of Duo Skills or Harmonized Skills will still trigger. If this effect is neutralized at start of turn by skills like Even Recovery, Odd Recovery, etc., effects that would have triggered at start of turn, like healing and damage, will then trigger.)

Nudge+ Range: 1 Restores HP = 50% of unit's Atk (min 8 HP) to target ally and pushes target ally 1 space away. If ally cannot move to the target space (if another ally or foe is occupying the space), ally will not move. Using this skill has no effect on Special cooldown charge and unit does not gain EXP or SP. (This skill is treated as a movement skill only when movement takes place.)

Atk/Res Push 4 At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Res+7, but after combat, if unit attacked, deals 5 damage to unit.

A/S Far Trace 3 Enables 【Canto (Rem.)】. Inflicts Atk/Spd-3 on foe during combat. 【Canto (Rem.)】 After combat, unit can move spaces equal to the number of spaces they have not used yet in their previous action according to their movement type. For example, a flying unit who has moved 1 space to attack an opponent, can move 1 spaces after as fliers have 2 spaces of movement.

Holy Ground Reduces damage from foes' attacks during combat to allies within 2 spaces by 30% and grants Def/Res+4 to those allies during combat.

Atk (10)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units

Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Res/-Def

Elimine relies on her Res for performing Staff of the Saint checks to determine whether the 【False Start】status will be applied to her foes. Thus, +Res is the boon of choice.

Her Def is a dump stat and lowering it further will not change any of her matchups. Thus, -Def is the safe bane of choice.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend going a +Res IV when merging Elimine to +10. Her purpose as a support is to apply 【False Start】and she needs to maximize her Res to best achieve that goal.

Elimine Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Elimine Roles

Elimine - Scouring Saint Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Elimine is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

A Mythic Hero who can boost allies' HP and Spd

Eff.	Atk+3	Spd+4	Def+5	Res+5

Elimine is the second Mythic hero that boosts HP and Spd. Unfortunately, the first hero is Plumeria, who is a staple in Astra season offense, and should be present in every team.

Stacking Spd with Plumeria and Elimine may be counterproductive, but there are certain team compositions that appreciate the Spd, such as Galeforce teams.

Still, field Elimine when you are using a team with speedy units, when you need to shut down a certain hero for a defensive strategy to work (eg. Catria Balls), and during her bonus season.

Elimine Strengths

Staff of the Saint can disrupt some strategies completely

Elimine's personal weapon Staff of the Saint has the unique effect of stopping all skills that trigger at the start of each turn for foes in cardinal directions upon winning a Res check. This shuts down the following skills and more:

Fortifies	Hones	Ploys	Ground and Air Orders 3
Quickened Pulse	Time's Pulse 3	Infantry Pulse 3	Hardy Fighter 3
Odd and Even Pulse Tie 3	Odd and Even Tempest 3	Ashera's Orders Restraint	Brave Alm's Dracofalchion
Brave Edelgard's Flower Hauteclere	Bridal Catria's Wedding-Bell Axe	Duma's Upheaval	Legendary Lilina's Studied Forblaze
Legendary Sigurd's Holy-Knight Aura	Loki's Thökk	Otr's Brutal Shell	Sara's Kia Staff
Winter Bernadetta's Hrist	Young L'Arachel's Staff of Rausten	Yuri's Honorable Blade	and many more skills!

Staff of the Saint also has Dazzling Staff 3 built into it, so Elimine can move forward and attack safely when it is safe to do so. This allows her to help clear the map and break both Aether pots with ease.

Holy Ground provides damage reduction and boosted defenses

Elimine's unique C skill Holy Ground reduces the damage dealt to her nearby allies by 30% and grants those allies Def/Res+4 during combat.

This is pretty much a combination of Flayn's Caduceus Staff, Close and Distant Guard 3.

It doesn't need to be said that this skill is incredibly good and definitely worth equipping onto Elimine. Her support capabilities increase vastly with this skill equipped.

Elimine Weaknesses

Only viable during Astra season

As an Astra Mythic hero, Elimine is only viable every other week, as Light season weeks will not factor her score increase into your lift gain.

This restricts your usage of Elimine to every other week, with the exception of PvE game modes.

Low Defense

Elimine's Def stat sits at a pitiful 16. Any physical attack thrown her way is bound to deal major damage and/or outright kill her.

Keep her away from foes that deal physical damage to ensure her safety.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Elimine takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

Elimine as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Elimine has some pretty nice inheritable skills in the form of Nudge+, Atk/Res Push 4, and A/S Far Trace 3.

Among these skills, A/S Far Trace 3 is the most universally useful, followed by Nudge+, and then Atk/Res Push 4. If you choose to fodder off Elimine for her skills, try to ensure you prioritize the best skills for inheritance.
