Should You Pull?
Only if you need a Wood/Star breaker or if you like Mystia. The last of this peculiar batch of Kaijus, the electrifying songbird that is identified as Kaiju 080-02 or the Night Sparrow-Type Kaiju is not too shabby as a LostWord friend. Her Wood and Star breaks are very sufficient, and her Paralyze and Blind anomaly utility is definitely helpful on top of that. Her breaking game is great, her mix of team support and enemy debuffs has its uses, and in the right situations, can be quite a powerhouse. Although we should put an emphasis on “in the right situations”...
…Because unfortunately, H5 Mystia Lorelei has some things going against her. As alluded to earlier, she is very situational due to her limited Killer range and her Ability. Her Killers include Soul, Lunar Capital, Lunarian and Musician which sadly don’t hit many enemies, and then there is her Ability, making H5 Mystia’s Wood or Star elements deal 40% more damage if they are effective on her enemy, but if they are resisted instead, their power will decrease by 15%. These factors make it so that unless this songbird’s purpose is to break barriers, you may have to be careful with when and where you use her. For example, she would be a fantastic pick for Wood EX due to, well, Wood breaks as well as Killers that would land, but on many other stages without these luxuries, it’s going to be a difficult time for our songstress in question to truly stand out. And this isn’t even mentioning the fact that fellow H-Series Friend, H5 Yuuka Kazami also has Wood and Star breaks with anomaly utility of her own, overpowering H5 Mystia in the process.
Now with that aside, if you have God Crystals to spare, you may still like what you’re about to read, as this Prayer will have an Ascending Step-UP starting at 60 God Crystals and ending at 460! Should you make the decision to use God Crystals here, like some of the previous Prayers, you will also get 20 Fortune Dust instead of the usual 10.
Once it’s time to face the music, good luck to all who opt to pick up this mutated musician!
Quick Overview
H5 Mystia Lorelei is a Destroy-Class Friend that specializes in Wood and Star breaks, Anomaly utility via Blind and Paralyze inflicting/breaking, offensive buffs to herself or her team, and debuffing her enemies.
Breakthrough Singer
When it comes to breaks, H5 Mystia works very well with using her Wood and Star breaks to her advantage (slightly more toward the former), as well as Paralyzing and (night-)blinding her enemies, with a way of breaking both with a fully powered Second Spell Card or Last Word. Her Ability also means she gives Paralyze anomalies to whoever inflicts it onto her, which can also be shockingly helpful.
High Voltage Atmosphere
H5 Mystia also has a mix of support and debuff to use to her advantage, such as team CRIT ATK buffs from her Skill 3 and Grazing, as well as Yang ATK and Agility support via Skill 2 and First Spell Card Pre-ATK respectively. As for debuff potential, it could come in handy as she can debuff the CRIT DEF, Yin DEF, Evasion and CRIT Evasion of her enemies.
Full Potential is Extremely Situational
Despite her natural Yin ATK stat at 1905, minor support and some convenient debuffs, H5 Mystia will sometimes need the stars to align perfectly in order to truly shine, because she lacks her own CRIT Accuracy, and to some extent, Yin ATK buffs. On top of that, her Killer range is rather limited (Soul, Lunar Capital, Lunarian and Musician to name a few) which makes her CRIT ATK buffs not always effective and her Ability really drives home how hit or miss she can be when it comes to taking the spotlight. As a Wood and Star elemental user, if these are effective on her target(s), they will be 40% more powerful, but if they are resisted instead, they will deal 15% less damage. Due to the reasons above, you’ll have to be very careful with how you go about using H5 Mystia, especially in terms of enemies, their Tags and Weaknesses.
