Should You Pull?
Only if you are a Scarlet Sister fan wanting another vampire variant. We recently got 4 E-Series Friends in the form of Sakuya, Meiling, Patchouli and Koakuma’s E1 variants, and now we have our Prayer for our Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet variants!
Wait what?? These aren’t from E-Series? This wasn’t the fate we foresaw!
A-hem. So it looks like our dedicated Ultra Festival Prayer for E1 Flandre Scarlet and E9 Remilia Scarlet will have to wait for the time being, as for now, looks like it’s going to be a fun (or long) week of nights with the A6 variants of Remilia and Flandre Scarlet!
Continuing with what these two Festival Friends can bring to the table, A6 Remilia, for a Festival Friend has quite the impressive stats to take advantage of in terms of damage, as her Yin ATK lies at 1900 with her Agility at 1600. She also has a decent amount of Moon breaks and Burn anomaly potential to work with as well. Meanwhile, A6 Flandre likes her own fair share of Star breaks as well as her own fair share of Burn breaks too. Her best stats are 1900 Yin ATK and 1500 Agility, almost like her sister. They are both Speed-Class Friends with near-identical lore-related Killers, both with Human, Shrine Maiden, Magician and Incident Resolver (A6 Remilia has Younger Sister, A6 Flandre has Older Sister) and if you really look into their kits, they are definitely able to work off of each other very well due to their synergy, which is expected to be fair.
Both of these Friends have their own fair share of downsides though. From their aforementioned lore-related Killers not having the widest range in the world (although Human might be passable in some cases), using them for CRITs may be a little more situational in some cases. On top of that, despite their focus on Moon (Remilia) and Star (Flandre) elements respectively, it’s not exactly easy to find another element in their attacks to really back up the effectiveness of their main element.
All in all, these two aren’t going to be at the top of the game when it comes to purely Festival Friends due to all the competition there is, but it should definitely be possible to find yourself some great situations to capitalize on both of these kits. Both of these sisters can even farm a certain Chapter 4 Act 2 stage on her own, which is impressive! However, as mentioned at the start, this is really just a Prayer for people who love the Scarlet Sisters, especially due to all the other currently available Prayers right now making strong cases to be pursued (especially the Prayers relating to Remilia’s perfect and elegant servant). That said, this does also have an Ascending Step-UP to work with, meaning 60 God Crystals could be all it takes to get lucky with one/both Friends!
With a week of basking in the Scarlet Mist, for those who would like to go forth for this Prayer’s pair of vampires, best of luck with your pulls, and may fate be on your side!
Quick Overview
A6 Remilia Scarlet, with her overwhelming might, reveals herself as a Speed type Friend with a strong emphasis towards Burn breaks and the Moon element.
Burn Anomalies to Inflict and Break
A6 Remilia’s 1st Skill, as well as her Spell Cards inflicting a decent amount of Burn, can break a large amount of Barriers on all enemies. You can use her Focus Shot, Spell Card 2 and Last Word to break, with inflictions pulled off via her Spell Card 2 again, as well as her Skill 1 (can be done every other turn).
Decent utility providing Agility, Yin ATK, Yin DEF, and Barriers.
Thanks to her Skills and Spell Cards providing Agility, Yin ATK, Yin DEF, and Barriers, A6 Remilia can support Yin nukers, especially if they have strong Slice Scaling. They may also appreciate the slight Yin DEF and CRIT DEF debuff potential achieved via her Spell Cards 1 and 2 respectively.
Damage Potential is a Mix of Promising and Frustrating
A6 Remilia is a bit of an oddball when it comes to damage. Her high offensive stats (1900 Yin ATK, 1600 Agility) show so much promise right off the bat, and as a Speed-Class Friend, she can really take advantage of her Slice Scaling via her Last Word, but those pros have to clash with the fateful cons: A limited Killer range via Human, Shrine Maiden, Magician, Incident Resolver, Younger Sister as well as an awkward Last Word not being able to slot perfectly with a Story Card due to its mix of Slash and Light bullets may be frustrating to go about if you want to optimize this finicky mistress to her fullest. Quite the mixed bag.
Aside from Moon, Lackluster Sub-Elements
One factor that holds her Barrier breaks from being truly amazing is her Spell Cards having a weird spread of elements aside from Moon that makes her awkward to utilize, making her really only being able to take advantage of Moon, and not so much other ones like Fire, Earth and Water.
A6 Flandre Scarlet is a Speed-Class Friend who shows the power of an Extra Stage Boss, being focused on Star Breaks, decent Burn break potential and strong damage potential.
Barrier Destroyer via Star Element and Burn Anomaly
A6 Flandre Scarlet go-to element would be Star, and she also has a little bit of Burn anomaly utility to work with. While she needs 3P for her Spell Card 1 and Last Word to break the Burn anomalies as well as 2P for her Focus Shot.
Supporting Capabilities, Mainly for Yin Friends
Thanks to her low cooldowns, A6 Flandre has the ability to support the team with Spirit Power and Yin DEF debuffs, while also providing Yin ATK by boosting herself. She is also able to boost the team’s Agility and Accuracy as well as more debuffs like CRIT DEF via Spell Card 1 and Last Word.
Great Burst of Damage, but Peaks Early
Due to the amount of Yin ATK buffs and Yin DEF debuffs that she can inflict on the enemy on her first turn, A6 Flandre can easily deal a large amount of damage from the get-go. Part of this is also due to her ability to increase damage of bullet lines effective against the enemy by 40% (mainly Star). That said, her limited Killer range (Human, Shrine Maiden, Magician, Incident Resolver, Older Sister) make her damage with setup not as impactful.
Lacks Strong Elements Outside of Star
Her elements, aside from Star, lack focus which can make her tedious to use outside of Star oriented content. It will be very unlikely to be able to take advantage of those scattered elements in the form of Earth, Metal, Wood and Fire.
