Memories of Departure

Obtainability: “Angels on the Road” event gacha. This is event memoria and should be kept in the case of a rerun. Single Effect: Anti-Debuff [100%] & Damage Increase [40%] (Self / 1 Turn)  MLB Effect: Anti-Debuff [100%] & Damage Increase [45%] (Self / 1 Turn) 

Anti-Debuff will prevent the equipped character from becoming debuffed (these are the effects with blue icons).

Damage Increase will increase the damage done by the equipped character’s attacks, and its effect takes place after the buffs and debuffs are calculated. Damage Increase and Damage Up are essentially the same effect, however Damage Up has a 100% cap while Damage Increase doesn’t. Both collectively cap at 300%.

“Memories of Departure” is a very good limited active memoria. When putting together its two effects, you have a memoria that can serve both an offensive purpose and a supportive one-- however, it’ll be tricky and take some planning to use both effects at once. Notably, “Memories of Departure” has the highest source of Damage Increase from memoria in the game. Even forgoing the Anti-Debuff, this makes it very powerful to use. 

The Anti-Debuff meanwhile will support your character, especially for high-tier content such as Ex-Challenges or the new Endless ones. The trick to using it will be know when to activate it, so using it blindly on a fight isn’t a good idea. You’ll want to know ahead of time when to activate "Memories of Departure” to make use of its Anti-Debuff effect.

Like mentioned earlier, using both effects to its maximum potential will require some planning. You’ll want to take advantage of the Damage Increase, likely with a puella combo, but also want to make sure that the Anti-Debuff is put to good use too.

However, for casual play, this memoria can be utilized solely for the Damage Increase if desired. It’s a memoria that can serve many functions and is a good tool in your arsenal. 

Lastly, this memoria can be considered a Stat Stick. Stat Sticks are Active memoria that beef up a character’s passive DEF its stats, not its effects. These kind of memoria are helpful in Mirrors, where some Actives serve little more than, well, “stat sticks.” This blog considers anything about 2200 DEF a Stat Stick . Note that the memoria needs to be Max Awakened to qualify as a Stat Stick.

TLDR: This is a great memoria for more casual use and for hard content. Getting the most use out of this memoria however will require some planning and and a knowledge of the oncoming fight-- but overall, this is a great tool for straight up increasing the damage your character does.

Blood Rush to a Superb View

Single Effect: Anti-Debuff [3 Debuffs] (Self / 3 turns)

MLB Effect: Anti-Debuff [3 Debuffs] (Self / 3 turns)

Effect Definitions:

Anti-Debuff will prevent the equipped character from becoming debuffed (these are the effects with blue icons). Some examples include Attack Down, Defense Down, Damage Down, ect.

TLDR: “Blood Rush to a Superb View” belongs in the Memoria Vault Jail. There are very rare situations where it is incredibly helpful, such as Witches’ Paradox, but for the most part you’re better off using memoria like “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” instead.

Review: “Blood Rush to a Superb View” will prevent three debuffs from being inflicted on the equipped target for three turns, regardless of how awakened it is or isn’t. The only difference between a max awakened copy and a single copy is a one turn difference for the cooldown from 8 to 7-- so you shouldn’t feel pressured to max awaken this memoria unless you want to.

How good is this memoria? Eh. It’s not great and it feels very much like filler. That doesn’t mean you should get rid of it but it definitely might sit in your Memoria Vault Jail until you find a fight where the oncoming debuffs are killer.

The first thing to mention is that “Blood Rush to a Superb View” isn’t the only memoria that can provide Anti-Debuff, but it is the one memoria that can negate three Debuffs instead of two or one.

(4*) “Blood Rush to a Superb View” Anti-Debuff [3 Debuffs] (Self / 3 turns)

(Limited 4*) “Memories of Departure” Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Damage Increase [45%] (Self / 1 Turn)

(4*) “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Attack Up [30%] & Defense Up [37.5%] (Self / 3 Turns)

(Limited 3*) “Secret Special Training” Anti-Debuff [1 Debuff] (Self / 3 Turns)

The fact that “Blood Rush to a Superb View” can negate one more debuff over these other memoria is likely why it has no other secondary effect attached.  “Memories of Departure” is best if you want to deal a ton of damage in one turn and “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” is better if you want to spread it out over three. Meanwhile, “Blood Rush to a Superb View” can only do one thing, and otherwise it’s useless.

The only thing keeping this memoria from being straight-out Enhancement Fodder is that there are very, very rare situations where it can be an incredible boon. For example: Witch Paradox events. There has been a witch or two that will endlessly spam debuffs on your units, making them deal no damage. Equipping “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” alongside another Remove Debuff memoria is an excellent idea in this case.

Outside of those rare situations though, stuff this memoria into the vault.

That Which Gives a Special Sleep

Single Effect: Anti-Debuff [2 debuffs] (Self / ∞ Turns) & Attack Up [15%] (Self / 3 Turns)

MLB Effect: Anti-Debuff [2 debuffs] (Self / ∞ Turns) & Attack Up [20%] (Self / 3 Turns)

Effect Definitions:

Anti-Debuff will prevent the equipped character from becoming debuffed (these are the effects with blue icons). Some examples include Attack Down, Defense Down, Damage Down, etc.

Attack Up will increase the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effected is calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. It’s generally considered superior to Damage Up/Damage Inflicted Up, however, because there are so many sources of Attack Up in the game it can be easy to hit the cap of 100%.

TLDR: “That Which Gives a Special Sleep” belongs in the Memoria Vault Jail. It doesn’t suit Hotaru’s playstyle very well, but it also has a unique effect that makes it something you don’t want to lose for potential future battles.

Review: This is a personal memoria for Hotaru Yura. “That Which Gives a Special Sleep” has some issues, the biggest one being that it doesn’t suit Hotaru’s playstyle.

Hotaru Yura is a Heal-type with some meh gameplay until you get to her Magia. One of the effects is that it rains out Regenerate MP, and she’s one of the few characters in the game (besides Mayu) that can do this for her team. Otherwise her kit mostly revolves around healing and support. This isn’t a character that you’re expecting to break out good damage numbers with.

So why does her personal give her 20% Attack Up for three turns? Sure, dealing more damage isn’t a bad thing, but it’s not something she really needs, or at least, you’re not fielding her for her damage potential. The two Anti-Debuffs are interesting, though notably Hotaru already has one Anti-Debuff passive Spirit Enhancement Node. Currently there are a few Anti-Debuff memoria in the game:

(4*) “Blood Rush to a Superb View” Anti-Debuff [3 Debuffs] (Self / 3 turns)

(4*) “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Attack Up [30%] & Defense Up [37.5%] (Self / 3 Turns)

(Limited 4*) “Memories of Departure” Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Damage Increase [45%] (Self / 1 Turn)

However, Hotaru’s memoria is unique in that it doesn’t go away for a set amount of turns, making it worth keeping at least for possible future battle tactics.

But this doesn’t save the memoria from being good. In fact, it’ll probably sit in your Memoria Vault most of the time. You don’t even need to bother max awakening it-- you’ll still get those two debuffs for unlimited turns regardless if it’s max awakened or not, and the only useful difference is that it goes from 9 turns to 8.

So overall? Don’t throw it away-- keep it just in case. But stick it into one of your Memoria Vaults so it doesn’t get in the way.

Survival Date on a Deserted Island

Single Effect: Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [30%] (Self / 3 Turns)

MLB Effect: Anti-Debuff [2 Debuffs] & Attack Up [30%] & Defense Up [37.5%] (Self / 3 Turns)

Effect Definitions:

Anti-Debuff will prevent the equipped character from becoming debuffed (these are the effects with blue icons). Some examples include Attack Down, Defense Down, Damage Down, etc.

Attack Up will increase the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effected is calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. It’s generally considered superior to Damage Up/Damage Inflicted Up, however, because there are so many sources of Attack Up in the game it can be easy to hit the cap of 100%.

Defense Up will increase the target’s base defense stats. It can be considered superior to the effect Damage Cut, as Defense Up’s effect calculations will be considered before any damage goes out, while Damage Cut’s calculations will be considered after.

TLDR: “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” is a Whale Tier memoria, and extremely good. It’s effects are very generic, making it useful for any situation (outside of Mirrors), and it’s also a superior version of another Whale-Tier memoria that’s been in the game for a long time. This memoria will be good to equip on Supports.

Review: This review is going to be extremely similar to the memoria “I Won't Stray From This Path”-- this is because these two memoria are essentially the same thing; however “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” is superior due to its presence of Anti-Debuff. 

Anti-Debuff as an effect can be somewhat hard to find. There are currently only four memoria that have this effect (as of writing this review), and “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” is one of the better options. One thing to note is that the Anti-Debuff effect will last for three turns. This means you can apply the memoria in a situation where you are unsure of a debuff happening and not completely waste it if it actually occurs next turn instead. Notably, “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” will prevent three Debuffs. While some enemies will only apply one debuff, there are others who apply multiple ones per turn, meaning that “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” can help with annoying bosses or with pesky familiars all trying to ruin your day, right in a row.

Attack Up and Defense Up are both the cream of the crop for effects, and rather straightforward. They don’t require any sort of extra strategy to get the maximum usage out of, they’re just good for increasing your attack and defense. Sure, it might be a little boring, but it means that “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” can fit in almost any scenario, besides Mirrors. Add in that it lasts for three turns, making it very possible to get more than one puella combo off during its duration, and you have a Whale-Tier memoria.

The three turns is key here-- there are other memoria in the game that can provide higher Attack Up or higher Defense Up, but they will last for one turn instead of three. While a memoria that lasts for one turn is still obviously good (especially when setting up built up single turn devastating attacks), it means that some pre planning is required, whereas a memoria that lasts for three turns doesn’t. If you need an active memoria that you can just slap onto a character with no other thoughts needed, this one and memoria such as “The Way Home After Rain (Mito)” are great choices.

“Survival Date on a Deserted Island“ is better than a similar memoria “I Won't Stray From This Path” because preventing Debuffs can be extremely powerful. But that doesn’t mean “I Won't Stray From This Path” is suddenly garbage. Unless you’re a mega whale, it’s unlikely that you’ll have more than one copy of either at the moment, so feel free to use both. Even if you had two or three copies of “Survival Date on a Deserted Island“ you still might want to keep “I Won't Stray From This Path,” just because the effects here are just that good.

Overall, “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” is a great and Whale-tier memoria to have on hand. Don’t max awaken this one right away-- you’re probably better off with a bunch of single copies of it over having one max awakened one.

Secret Special Training

Single Effect: Anti-Debuff [1 Debuff] (Self / 3 Turns)

MLB Effect: Anti-Debuff [1 Debuff] (Self / 3 Turns)

Effect Definitions:

Anti-Debuff will prevent the equipped character from becoming debuffed (these are the effects with blue icons). Some examples include Attack Down, Defense Down, Damage Down, etc.

TLDR: “Secret Special Training” is the worst option for Anti-Debuff in the game currently. However, there are also only four options for Anti-Debuff total as of writing this review. If you have one or more of those four options then feel free to treat this as enhancement fodder. Otherwise, keep it. This memoria is exclusive to the “Deliver to the Beyond A Piece of Hope” gacha.

Review: Anti-Debuff as an effect can be somewhat hard to find. There are currently only four memoria that have this effect (as of writing this review), and sadly “Secret Special Training” is probably the worst option of them. That doesn’t make the memoria terrible so much as it just suffers a bit as a Three-Star.

One thing to note is that the Anti-Debuff effect will last for three turns. This means you can apply the memoria in a situation where you are unsure of a debuff happening and not completely waste it if it actually occurs next turn instead. However, “Secret Special Training” only will prevent one Debuff. While some enemies will only apply one debuff, there are others who apply multiple ones per turn. Additionally, this memoria sadly has a long cooldown at ten, making it unlikely that you’ll be able to prevent anything that occurs more frequently like that.

It’s always possible you could use this on a character who gains passive chance to Skill Quicken as part of the Spirit Enhancement, but if comes down to that then a memoria such as “Blood Rush to a Superb View” or “Survival Date on a Deserted Island” may be better choices-- depending on whether or not you have them of course.

Overall, “Secret Special Training” really depends on what you have. If you have the aforementioned memoria then this one can be used as enhancement fodder. If you don’t, you can hold on to it in the meantime. 

Given that awakening this memoria only has the effect of lowering the cooldown from 12 to 10, it’s not really advisable to use valuable Over-Limiters on it. 10 is better than 12 of course, but not by enough to justify using precious, limited resources.
