MMM - Highest of Heliotrope-Hued-Hair Human Haters Holds Humbling Hoedown, Humanity's Habitués Holler Homosexuality (Trinity Metaltronus Gacha 2)

With her BAAQQ card deck, Lilith goes against the mold of most Berserkers by lacking in Buster cards, and with her base NP gain of 0.4%, her 4-hit Arts cards bring home an incredibly mediocre 1.6 base Arts gain, essentially dead on average for a card deck with two Arts.

At the very least her Quicks pack 5 hits apiece, though that ultimately only keeps them at a similarly average NP gain value, rather than anything notable, and her Extra card ends up incredibly disappointing for NP gain as a result.

Conversely, Lilith’s stargen is among the best for Berserkers, producing a large quantity of stars on almost all her cards in spite of the class’s low base generation rate. It lends well to her qualities as a Quick-focused Berserker, and she’ll certainly want to take advantage of the crits she enables to patch up her poor NP gain.

Skill 1

First for Lilith’s skills is Like the Twinkling Night, a targeted debuffing skill. This drops an incredibly potent Charm on the target for 1 turn, as well as a 50% Critical Damage Resistance Down debuff for 3 turns, finishing off with a 30-star bomb.

Charm skills of this level of consistency are pretty rare, so it’ll only get stonewalled by Debuff Immunity rather than any passive debuff resistance the target has, and likewise the Critical Damage Resistance debuff is a roundabout boost to Lilith’s Critical Damage output that runs through the ups and downs of being a debuff instead of a buff. Letting her allies get in on the action is useful, but in certain fights this skill will just fall flat, and similarly sucks when not staring down a single foe.

With the star bomb factored in, it’s a great defensive tool and instant damage button that the whole team can capitalize, and it comes with a very generous 8-turn base cooldown, given many Stun/Charm skills are burdened with longer cooldowns.

Skill 2

Next is Like Dancing Wings. This is your bog standard dual-card buffing skill, providing Lilith with a 30% Quick and Arts booster for 3 turns, as well as a dependable 2-hit, 3-turn Evasion buff.

Having those boosters to her primary card types also compensates for Lilith’s otherwise-mediocre NP gain, but naturally the damage boost is the biggest benefit, and you can’t say no to the safety of a long-lasting Evasion buff. With both it and her Charm in hand, Lilith is already pretty durable, and likewise her offensive output is off to a good start.

There’s little else to say for this skill - the 8-turn base cooldown could be seen as harsh given its relatively low power, but any skill with a hard defensive option like Evasion in it is liable to be slapped with an 8-turn base cooldown, so I’m not surprised, either.

Skill 3

Like Unsightly Love is the last of Lilith’s skills, and thankfully one to cover many places she’s lacking. This skill is first and foremost her 50% gauge charger, something that’s especially important for a Quick Servant, given all the Skadi forms provide 50% gauge charge, making them easy to slot together.

But that’s not all, as Lilith also gets Invincible Pierce and a 30% Attack buff for 3 turns, at the cost of a 30% Mental Debuff Resistance Down debuff for the same duration. The offensive boost is all the better for Lilith’s damage dealing capabilities, and the long-lasting Invincible Pierce is great utility, albeit coming at the cost of more vulnerability to enemy debuffs like Charm or Terror.

This skill might be something of a grab-bag, but it’s a pretty good one. The 50% gauge charge is by far the most essential, but everything provided here is great to have on your resume. The 8-turn base cooldown lines up neatly with her other skills, and is to be expected for its overall power.

Naturally, we have to get to Lilith’s NP eventually. Isha Ra’a is a Quick ST NP with a hell of a plethora of effects, though thankfully many of them are more or less cosmetic.

I’ll get over the cosmetic effects first - after dealing damage, Lilith applies 1k Poison and Curse to the target for 3 turns, as well as slapping Evil and Chaotic alignment traits on them for the same duration. This doesn’t overwrite their existing alignments as far as I know, but the theme is clear: punch the enemy while they’re down and make them break their Paladin oath, too, should they happen to be playing DnD. Unless you decide to pair her with some niche Servants who can capitalise off these, there’s little point in talking more about them.

The first real effect to this NP is a duo of Effective Damage buffs applied to Lilith for 1 turn - 30% bonus damage against Good and Lawful alignment foes. These traits usually only matter for fighting Servants, but regardless hitting these two alignments is getting at least 30% bonus damage on well over half the Servant roster, and Lilith even scores the damage bonus for the whole chain, not just her NP.

That’s followed up by Lilith dishing out her damage, with a +50% damage modifier against Charmed targets, scaling with Overcharge. Having any built-in effective damage modifier on your NP is fantastic due to how it scales multiplicatively with other damage buffs, but ones like this that can be triggered on (almost) any enemy are especially good. The fact it’s locked to the cooldown of Lilith’s own Charm skill in most circumstances is a bit of a downer, but so long as you’re not staring down a Debuff-Immune asshole boss (looking at you, Junao) she gets a colossal damage boost every so often.

The last but not-to-be-undervalued part of this NP is a 20% Defense Down debuff on the target for 3 turns. Ramping damage is often used in reference to AOE NP’s in farming, but for a Servant like Lilith who’s so clearly geared for difficult content, continually plastering a boss with Defense drops is a great way to keep up offensive pressure.

How does her damage output shape up? With none of her effective damage boosts in play, but all her other skills active, she’s doing a base damage of 78k. To give a point of reference, a peak damage Jalter NP is doing 71k damage on a neutral target, though naturally Lilith does have Berserker class advantage on her side. Versus a Charmed target it leaps up to 117k, and 152k if they’re Good or Lawful on top of that. In a proper 50% gauge charge CE setup with two Summer Skadis, it isn’t unusual for Lilith to hit in the 500k damage range, depending on which Effective damage buffs apply, so she’s hardly lacking for power.

In terms of her NP spamming ability, Lilith nets a baseline refund of 4% gauge with her NP, jumping up to just barely 10% when she’s in a standard double Summer Skadi setup. Clearly there isn’t much hope for her NP alone to refill her gauge, but between her dual card boosters and copious star supply, she’s at least capable of netting NP gauge from crits in drawn-out fights. And obviously, the Quick card nature and 8 hits on this NP means you can depend on it for a star supply, too.
