The Other Side of Our Peaceful Lives

Obtainability: Limited to purchase through the Agent Magica Event Shop.

MLB Effect: Blast Damage Up [30%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

Effect Definitions:

Blast Damage Up is a straightforward buff that means Blast Discs will deal more damage. Blast Damage Up has a capped percentage at 100%.

Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast discs if used after a charge disc. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge discs.

Accele MP Gain Up will increase the amount of MP gained by using Accele discs.

TLDR: It's bad.

Review: I could go into endless detail on why this memoria isn't great, but you could also just read the review on a memoria that is this one's exact copy:

(Limited 4*) “The Eve of Awakening” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%]

Basically none of the effects really synergize all that well (besides maybe charged attack damage up and blast damage up) and the percentage offered by each is poor. You could use this memoria if you're missing good memos to equip but that shouldn't be too necessary unless you're super new to the game or someone took hold of your account and deleted everything, in which case you have bigger problems than memoria selection.

Use this as Enhancement Fodder or something. You can do better.

The Eve of Awakening

MLB Effect: Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Blast Damage Up [30%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%]

Effect Definitions:

Accele MP Gain Up will increase the amount of MP gained by using Accele discs.

Blast Damage Up is a straightforward buff that means Blast Discs will deal more damage. Blast Damage Up has a capped percentage at 100%.

Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast discs if used after a charge disc. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge discs.

TLDR: “The Eve of Awakening” is okay for players who don’t have a lot of memoria, but it doesn’t excel through any of its effects and those effects have little synergy. For most players who have better memoria to use, this is Enhancement Fodder. This memoria is exclusive to logging in during the Magia Record Season Three Login Countdown.

Review: “The Eve of Awakening” isn’t that great to use because its effects don’t synergize particularly well with one another, but it’s fine to equip if you don’t have a lot of good memoria on hand. Each effect offered is lowered than what you can get from other memoria in the game, and it’s unlikely that you’ll be using more than one effect at a time when utilizing this memoria-- but as a freebie, it’s not the worst thing in the world and it might be something you use to fill in the gaps of missing memoria when equipping a large team. It’s also possible that this memoria can be useful on a few select supports.

Let’s first explain why the effects here don’t work well together, then let’s compare “The Eve of Awakening” with other memoria in the game.

The only two effects that have synergy here are Charged Attack Damage Up and Blast Damage Up. This would assume that you are using a Charge team, with a goal of using charged up attacks to unleash powerful Blast attacks. With that in mind it’s... fine. There are better memoria in the game to equip, but it can work if you don’t have much on hand. Note that this strategy would assume that the character equipped with “The Eve of Awakening” is the one spending the charge discs onto a powerful Blast attack, so make sure that character also has a good passive as well.

Outside of that, it doesn’t work. If you’re using the Accele MP Gain Up, then the Blast Damage Up is useless and so is the Charged Attack Damage Up. A simple Blast team isn’t going to care about Charged Attack Damage Up or Accele MP Gain Up. A Charge team probably isn’t going to care about the Accele MP Gain Up-- I say probably, because with Charge Conservation, it’s possible one might use the constant Charged up attacks to keep a unit at 150MP or more with a single Accele disc... But it’s debatable if this is still the right memoria for it.

Even an average attack (A > C > B) doesn’t benefit from this memoria anymore than it would from a more straightforward offensive memoria. You’ll gain a little extra MP, and a slightly damage boosted Blast by using “The Eve of Awakening” and that’s all. There are plenty of memoria in the game that are better generic offensive memoria to equip, even if you limit it to just free welfare memoria, such as:

(Limited 4*) “All the Best Wishes” Attack Up [20%] & Regenerate HP [5%]

(Limited 4*) “The Chance Encounter of Roche Castle” Attack Up [15%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(Limited 4*) “The Sun Does Not Shine on the Land so the Heart Is Shaded” Attack Up [15%] & Defense Up [22.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Mourn For I Know the Pain” Attack Up [15%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(Limited 4*) “Flowers, Fallen, Never to Return” Attack Up [15%] & Damage Cut [10%]

(Limited 4*) “A Reasonable and Gentle Strategy” Attack Up [15%] & Charge Disc Damage Up [20%]

(Limited 4*) “Walking an Entwined Path” Damage Increase [30%] & Regenerate HP [5%]

(Limited 4*) “Do Your Best, Little Savior” Damage Increase [15%] & MP Up When Attacked By Weak Element [7 MP]

(Limited 4*) “Visit of the Masked Student Council!” Damage Increase [15%] & Anti-Curse [100%]

(Limited 4*) “Hunting Magical Girls Is For Justice” Damage Up [15%] & Damage Cut [15%]

(Limited 4*) “I Just Said I Like Feet” Damage Up [15%] & Chase [14%]

If you’re an NA Refugee, you should have all of these. All of them are going to be better choices to use for generic offensive passive memoria.

If you’re more interested in the individual effects themselves over possible combinations, then let’s go ahead and compare “The Eve of Awakening” with other memoria in the game, starting with its effect Accele MP Gain Up.

(Limited 4*) “Waiting for the Moment” Accele MP Gain Up [20%] & Damage Increase [20%]

(Limited 4*) “Always Thinking of You” Accele MP Gain Up [20%] & Burn on Attack [30%] (2 Turns)

(Limited 4*) “You Can Wear Any Outfit You Want” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Defense Up [30%] & MP Gain Up [10%]

(Limited 4*) “Goodbye Fable” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Magia Damage Up [15%]

(4*) “Because the World Is Full of Wishes” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

(Limited 3*) “Never Allow Will to Be Erased” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Something to Remember” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]

(3*) “Coordinated Combination” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%]

(3*) “Keep This a Secret From Everyone!” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%]

(Limited 4*) “The Eve of Awakening” Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Blast Damage Up [30%]

(4*) “Deep in Thought” Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Damage Up [15%] & MP Gain Up [10%]

(4*) “Being Wrapped In Self-Reproach” Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Anti-Skill Seal [100%]

(3*) “My Things!” Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Anti-Curse [100%]

(2*) “Different Story: Rookies” Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

The 15% Accele MP Gain Up offered by “The Eve of Awakening” is equivalent to the unlimited two-star memoria “Different Story: Rookies,” which says it all really. That being said, it’s still better than the two-star memoria due to its passive ATK stats. However, even unlimited three-star memoria in the game can give more Accele MP Gain Up than what “The Eve of Awakening” can offer, and if you’re a free-to-play NA Refugee, you’re much better off using either “Always Thinking of You” or “Goodbye Fable” instead.

Next, let’s examine Blast Damage Up.

(Limited 4*) “I Just Wanted to Survive” Blast Damage Up [45%] & Damage Cut [20%]

(Limited 4*) “The Usual Special Seat” Blast Damage Up [40%] & Anti-Evade [100%]

(Limited 4*) “An Entrance Backed by a Column of Clouds!” Blast Damage Up [35%] & Anti-Burn [100%]

(4*) “Super Soft Familiar” Blast Damage Up [35%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5]

(4*) “The Archive Is a Friend” Blast Damage Up [35%] & Blast Damage Cut [15%]

(4*) “Towards the Light!” Blast Damage Up [35%]

(Limited 4*) “She has a Heart” Blast Damage Up [35%] & Attack Up While At Max Health [30%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(Limited 4*) “The Eve of Awakening” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%]

(Limited 4*) “I'll Continue to Shoulder the Burden” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Damage Increase [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Food Stall Paradise” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Anti-Bind [100%]

(Limited 4*) “Now, We Treasure Hunt!” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%] & Anti-Charm [100%]

(Limited 4*) “Loading a Shining Pennon with Hope” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Never Forget” Blast Damage Up [30%] Blast Damage Cut [10%]

(Limited 3*) “The Pseudo-Family Is From Peace” Blast Damage Up [30%] & Anti-Dazzle [100%]

(3*) “Surrounded by White Wings” Blast Damage Up [30%]

The Blast Damage Up offered by “The Eve of Awakening” is way more compelling than it’s other two effects at least. It’s equivalent to the three-star unlimited memoria “Surrounded by White Wings” at 30%, but of course “The Eve of Awakening” is going to have better ATK stats. There are several unlimited four-star memoria in the game that give more Blast Damage Up, but this is only when they are max-awakened. If they aren’t, they give 30% Blast Damage Up, just like “The Eve of Awakening” does.

However, the issue here is that unlike Accele MP Gain Up, you don’t need that many Blast Damage Up memoria. This is because you can feasibly want several characters to gain more MP on a team for Magia strategies, while a good blast team is really just one character (or two, if you have to use a Support). This is because Blasts are all about pure damage, and you do the most damage possible in a puella combo-- adding more units in the mix also means losing the chance to have solo discs. Additionally, this makes it harder to use Blast combos. Even just using two characters (unless they are both Ashley Taylor) can mean you might only get two blast discs a turn.

Couple this with how easy it is to hit the 100% percentage cap for Blast Damage Up, and overall you don’t need to have that many Blast Damage Up passive memoria. That doesn’t mean you should start deleting most of them-- you never know what kind of strange and wacky strategies you might need in the future-- but it does mean you aren’t going to want to have a large quantity of them like you would for Accele MP Gain Up or MP Gain Up.

This brings us back to our list. The best free welfare memoria in here is “An Entrance Backed by a Column of Clouds!” which gives 35% Blast Damage Up. The two best memoria in here are  “I'll Continue to Shoulder the Burden” which gives 30% Blast Damage Up and 25% Damage Increase and “She has a Heart” which has 35% Blast Damage Up and 30% Attack Up at Max Health, which are both incredible powerhouses.

“The Eve of Awakening” is not nearly as good as any of those. In addition, it’s not going to be good as a max-awakened unlimited four-star memoria either. Lastly, the event reward “Never Forget” is also going to be a better choice-- while it has a defensive effect to go alongside its similar 30% Blast Damage Up, it also has much better ATK stats than “The Eve of Awakening” does.

So overall? “The Eve of Awakening” is good for Blast Damage Up only if you don’t have anything better to use.

Lastly, let’s tackle the Charged Attack Damage Up.

(Limited 4*) “The Small Chocolatier” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Blast Damage Up [25%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

(Limited 4*) “Warm Christmas” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] Blast Damage Up [25%]

(Limited 4*) “The Third Magical Girl” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Accele MP Gain Up [20%]

(4*) “A Meddlesome Timing” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(4*) “To Grace with Aster” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Attack Up [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Ultimate VS Supreme” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Blast Damage Up [20%] & Damage Up [20%]

(4*) “Starlight Power!” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Critical Hit [25%]

(3*) “First Meeting Combination!” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “The Eve of Awakening” Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Blast Damage Up [30%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

(Limited 4*) “Uprising Doubles Division” Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Attack Up [15%] & Critical Hit [30%]

(3*) “Playing a False Me” Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Blast Damage Up [20%]

Continuing the trends from earlier, “The Eve of Awakening” has less Charged Attack Damage Up than the unlimited three-star “First Meeting Combination” does. However, it probably is still a better choice to equip thanks to its passive ATK stats. Another advantage that the memoria has would be that its the easiest option here for free-to-play players to grab-- everything else is either limited or a four-star memoria that might be difficult to max awaken.

The best memoria to use here would be between “To Grace with Aster” and “Ultimate VS Supreme” for Charge teams. To be honest, even a single copy of one of these is still much better to equip than “The Eve of Awakening” ever could be-- and unless you’re using Charge Conservation on every disc attack for that character, you might be better off forgoing using a passive Charged Attack Damage Up memoria and instead using an active one. Some good options would be:

(Limited 4*) “Small Light in the Corner of Town” Charged Attack Damage Up [22.5%] & Attack Up [50%] (Self / 1 turn)

(Limited 4*) “A New Start for the Clan” Charged Attack Damage Up [20%] & Blast Damage Up [30%] (Self / 1 turn)

(Limited 3*) “Descent of a Saint” Charged Attack Damage Up [20%] & Attack Up [40%] (Self / 1 Turn)

(2*) “Different Story: Mami and Kyoko” Charged Attack Damage Up [17.5%] (Self / 1 Turn)

(Limited 4*) “Admiration of Many Colors” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Blast Damage Up [30%] (Self / 3 turns)

(Limited 4*) “Handmade Ultimate Dress” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Attack Up [20%] (Self / 3 Turns)

Other good options would include active Blast Damage Up memoria and active Attack Up/Damage Up/Damage Increase memoria.

Hopefully this review has examined why “The Eve of Awakening” is lacking as a memoria. It’s okay to use if you don’t have a lot of memoria available, but it’s spread out too thin to be useful at any one thing, and even as a generic memoria it falls short when it comes to offensive potential.

The one thing that “The Eve of Awakening” might be good for is Support. On a character with two Accele discs and two Blast discs, this memoria lets a mutual decide if they want to use a Support for either a blast team or for a magia one. 

But overall, this is Enhancement Fodder.

Descent of a Saint

Single Effect: Attack Up [35%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [17.5%] (Self / 1 Turn)

MLB Effect: Attack Up [40%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [20%] (Self / 1 Turn)

Effect Definitions:

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%.

Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge disks.

TLDR: There is a better limited memoria version of “Descent of a Saint” in the game now, but that doesn’t stop it from being good. In fact, because it’s a three-star, it’s much easier to max awaken “Descent of a Saint,” making it a good memoria for the lucky Free-to-Play players who snagged it. It has excellent Attack Up and Charged Attack Damage Up effect percentages and will be excellent for Charge teams-- or even generic attack teams. This memoria is exclusive to the "The Crescent Moon Manor’s Merry Christmas” event gacha.

Review: With the release of “Small Light in the Corner of Town,” the memoria “Descent of a Saint” has lost some of its luster. Let’s compare the two:

(Limited 4*) “Small Light in the Corner of Town” Charged Attack Damage Up [22.5%] & Attack Up [50%] (Self / 1 turn)

(Limited 3*) “Descent of a Saint” Charged Attack Damage Up [20%] & Attack Up [40%] (Self / 1 Turn)

Overall, “Descent of a Saint” has less Charged Attack Damage Up and less Attack Up, in addition to being a Three-Star memoria with less passive DEF stats. Both memoria have the same cooldown when max awakened as well.

However, the key words here are “max-awakened.” Unless you’re a Whale, or a player who really focused on getting Sister Momoko, it’s unlikely one will have more than one copy or two to max awaken “Small Light in the Corner of Town.” With the monthly release or so of Over-Limiters, “Descent of a Saint” is still a very viable option for Free-to-Play or Dolphins to field using.

With all of that in mind, “Descent of a Saint” is a complete powerhouse. A character equipped with it will absolutely destroy the enemy, especially if used at the end of a Charge Combo. This makes it ideal for Charge teams and for some Kimochi fights-- or even strategies revolving around Charge and the Hundred Calamities.

This isn’t even considering it’s phenomenal cooldown of 5-- making it possible to use in Mirrors by turn three.

One thing to keep in mind however is that this high amount of Attack Up means it’s going to be easy to hit the 100% cap. Using this memoria and a connect with Attack Up will almost certainly go past that 100% ceiling, and anything above 100% is wasted. You can plan around this by using this memoria outside of an Attack Up connect, or using “Descent of a Saint” and a second active memoria that gives Damage Up/Damage Increase instead.

Luckily, there are no crazy passive memoria in the game that give 50% Passive Attack Up, so you should be safe on that part. However, if you have two 25% Attack Up passive memoria equipped then again you’ll want to be wary, because you will be very close to hitting the 100% cap.

Because the Attack Up is so high it’s fine to use even if you don’t plan on taking advantage of the Charged Attack Damage Up. Despite being a three-star, “Descent of a Saint” is a good option to use on Supports.

[magiamemoriareview]

Ultimate VS Supreme

Single Effect: Blast Damage Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Damage Up [15%]

MLB Effect: Blast Damage Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Damage Up [20%]

TLDR: “Ultimate VS Supreme” is a very good whale-tier memoria. It has three effects that all synergize very well and make it ideal for charge teams. The percentages are high enough to be useful while being low enough that you won’t need to worry about hitting 100% caps. This memoria is exclusive to the gacha for the event “Kamihama Armageddon.” This is event memoria and should be kept in case of a rerun.

Review: “Ultimate VS Supreme” is pretty good. It’s similar to another limited memoria, “The Small Chocolatier” but arguably far more useful as it swaps Status Ailment Resistance Up for Damage Up, leading to a more powerful damage-dealing memoria. But first let’s go into the effects of “Ultimate VS Supreme” and then talk about how they synergize and why it’s good.

Blast Damage Up is a straightforward buff that means Blast Disks will deal more damage. Blast Damage Up has a capped percentage at 100% that is extremely easy to hit. Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge disks. Damage Up 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, meaning you can have both side by side without hitting each their respective 100% cap ceilings. Damage Up can be harder to find than Damage Increase. 

So, one can tell that all three of these effects synergize extremely well. Damage Up will raise the damage done regardless, and the Charged Attack Damage Up will lead into powerful charge combos to be unleashed as Blast attacks. While Blast is best known for its ability to take out many enemies at once, a Charge > Charge > Blast combo is the best single target damage in the game (for PVE at least, and as a puella combo).

The Blast Damage Up and Charged Attack Damage Up seem small percentage-wise here, but this is likely due to how the memoria has three effects, and it also means that there is not too much worry for overcapping on them-- particularly for Blast Damage Up. Blast Damage Up, as noted above, is stupidly easy to overcap on, so using this passive memoria in conjunction with a connect or with an active memoria is still fine as it’s unlikely you’ll go over the 100% cap.

Overall this is an extremely solid memoria that covers a lot of good effects at reasonable percentages. It would pair well with a passive memoria that gives Attack Up, such as:

(4*) “To Grace with Aster” Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

(4*) “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

(4*) “Feigning Innocence School Time” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Stun [100%]

(4*) “I Made Friends” Attack Up [20%] & Critical Hit [25%]

(4*) “A Longing for the Beyond“ Attack Up [20%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

“Ultimate VS Supreme” qualifies as Whale tier. It will be excellent for Kimochi fights where charged attacks are extremely powerful, and for charge team strategies in general. It can be used on Supports, though try to keep it to characters who are offensive based (so for example, not on Kako) and on characters that have two or more blast disks.

One last thing to note-- while this memoria qualifies as Whale Tier, this reviewer isn’t going to go as far to say that it’s completely necessary. The memoria “To Grace with Aster” gives Attack Up and Charged Attack Damage Up, sort of filling the same niche that “Ultimate VS Supreme” fills. As such, you shouldn’t feel the need to pull for this memoria specifically unless you want the banner character.

[magiamemoriareview]

To Grace with Aster

Single Effect: Attack Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%]

MLB Effect: Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

Effect Definitions:

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%.

Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge disks.

TLDR: “To Grace with Aster” is an extremely good Whale-Tier memoria that boasts a high 25% Attack Up stat and an additionally high Charged Attack Damage Up stat. It will be good for Charge teams especially, but the Attack Up is great enough that it can be used for any general purpose. This is an excellent choice for Supports. This is event memoria for “A Voice From Beyond That Strokes the Ears” and should be kept in case of a rerun.

Review: “To Grace with Aster” is an extremely good memoria and is Whale-Tier. It offers two great effects in Attack Up and Charged Attack Damage Up-- and with high percentages as well. 25% Attack Up is the current highest amount of passive Attack Up one can get from memoria in the game currently, and so is 15% for Charged Attack Damage Up.

Together the two effects synergize extremely well, making “To Grace with Aster” excellent for Charge teams where one builds high Charge combos to unleash into terrifying attacks. However, the Attack Up is good enough that one can use it for any general purpose as well.

Other similar Attack Up passive memoria would include:

(4*) “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

(4*) “Feigning Innocence School Time” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Stun [100%]

(Limited 4*) “Miracle Heroines“ Attack Up [25%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Still Far From a Starry Night…” Attack Up [25%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

(Limited 4*) “Great Success in the Longed for Land” Attack Up [25%] & Bind on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

Other options for Charged Attack Damage Up include:

(4*) “A Meddlesome Timing” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(Limited 4*) “The Small Chocolatier“ Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Blast Damage Up [25%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

(4*) “Starlight Power!” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Critical Hit [25%]

(3*) “First Meeting Combination!” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Ultimate VS Supreme” Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Blast Damage Up [20%] & Damage Up [20%]

Overall though, “To Grace with Aster” is pretty excellent memoria to the point that there is little to say about it. It’s just good, period. Naturally, this is a memoria that will be excellent on Support, particularly if they have more than two Charge disks or if they have more than two Blast disks.

For lucky Free-to-Play players who have one or more copies of this memoria, it’s better to keep them seperate than to have a single awakened one. This is because the 20% Attack Up offered through its single copy is very good and better/equal to than other un-awakened Attack Up memoria such as “I Made Friends” or “A Longing for the Beyond.”

[magiamemoriareview]

Handmade Ultimate Dress

Effect: Attack Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] (Self / 3 Turns)

TLDR: “Handmade Ultimate Dress” is pretty good for an event freebie, and will be very helpful for Free-to-Play players and some Dolphins who are looking for a source of Charged Attack Damage Up. Even if you only want to use it for its Attack Up, it’s still not bad-- lower than average, but it does come fully awakened and leveled as a tradeoff. This memoria is exclusive to completing the event “Kamihama Armageddon.” 

Review: “Handmade Ultimate Dress” is going to be a surprisingly good memoria (considering it is an event reward) for Free-to-Play players and most Dolphins. It has two effects that synergize well at somewhat decent percentages and comes already max awakened and max leveled. Let’s go into its two effects and what they mean, then discuss how they work together.

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%.Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge disks.

Attack Up and Charged Attack Damage Up go together like bread and butter, especially for charge teams. On a charge focused team, you can activate this memoria to finish off a devastating charge combo to utterly annihilate the enemy target. However, even without a big charge combo “Handmade Ultimate Dress” is still good-- set up a small 5+ charge combo beforehand, activate this, and reap the results. 

“Handmade Ultimate Dress” is especially good because there are slim pickings available for Unlimited Charged Attack Damage Up. Observe:

(4*) “What Kind of Person Will I Become?” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Blast Damage Up [35%] (Self / 1 Turn)

(3*) “Youth Runner” Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%] (Self / 3 turns)

(2*) “Different Story: Mami and Kyoko” Charged Attack Damage Up [17.5%] (Self / 1 Turn)

For players who’ve spent money in the gacha, there are more limited options:

(Limited 4*) “Small Light in the Corner of Town” Charged Attack Damage Up [22.5%] & Attack Up [50%] (Self / 1 turn)

(Limited 4*) "Admiration of Many Colors” Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Blast Damage Up [30%] (Self / 3 turns)

(Limited 3*) “Descent of a Saint“ Charged Attack Damage Up [20%] & Attack Up [40%] (Self / 1 Turn)

But overall, Charged Attack Damage Up can be hard to find, and this memoria still comes max awakened and leveled, making it useful.

Outside of charge tactics it becomes a lesser version of memoria like “I Won't Stray From This Path” or “Survival Date on a Deserted Island,” in that “Handmade Ultimate Dress” offers less Attack Up for three rounds-- but for some Free-to-Play players and for some Dolphins, this might be one of their few sources of Attack Up actives available. 

(4*) “Even if I Take a Wrong Path” Attack Up [35%] & Anti-Counter [80%] (Self / 3 Turns)

(4*) “Formally Deciding“ Attack Up [30%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [50%] (Self / 3 Turns)

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

(4*) “I Won't Stray From This Path” Attack Up [30%] & Defense Up [37.5%] (Self / 3)

But overall? “Handmade Ultimate Dress” is going to be very helpful for players without many options to choose from. Perhaps even some Whales might find it helpful, especially if they’ve been unlucky when rolling.

This memoria should be fine on Supports, provided that they are offensively oriented. It should go on a character who is not built for Magia (so that the unit can take full advantage of that Charged Attack Damage Up effect). This can range from actual Charge gorillas to Blast gorillas.

The Third Magical Girl

Single Effect: Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%]

MLB Effect: Accele MP Gain Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

Effect Definitions:

Accele MP Gain Up will increase the amount of MP gained by using Accele disks but note that it does not increase the damage done by them. Characters with two or more Accele disks will benefit from this effect the most. Accele MP Gain Up is generally considered a worse effect than MP Gain Up.

Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character(s) setting up the charge disks.

TLDR: “The Third Magical Girl” doesn’t synergize well, but it offers so much Accele MP Gain Up that it doesn’t matter. The Charged Attack Damage Up is good at 15% but there are unlimited memoria that can match that too. It qualifies as Whale Tier, but don’t break the magia stone bank in trying to get it! This memoria is exclusive to the gacha for the event “The Chiming Bell That Transcends Time” This is event memoria and should be kept in case of a rerun.

Review: This is an excellent memoria, as long as you ignore the fact that the two effects don’t synergize very well. That might sound silly at first. After all, the second best disk setup for getting MP (after an accele combo) is Accele > Charge > Accele. So what’s wrong with the Charged Attack Damage Up here?

Well, that’s the thing. A charged up attack, for Accele disks, will increase the amount of MP gained, yes... But the actual effect of Charged Attack Damage Up doesn’t. It’s in the name-- Charged Attack Damage Up increases... the attack damage up from a charged attack.

That being said, it’s not the absolute worst synergy either. Sure, most of your damage will come from magia, but having a few charged up accele disks here and there won’t hurt, it’s just... the effects don’t work well that well together. Even if we turn this the other way around and want to use it for a Charge team, the Accele MP Gain Up is pointless too-- that effect does nothing to increase your damage after all, just MP, and that might not be a priority when you’re using a Charge team.

So with all of that out of the way, why is this still an excellent memoria?

For one, it’s still one of the highest sources of Accele MP Gain Up in the game. It’s tied with “Waiting for the Moment” and “Always Thinking of You” which are both limited memoria. The former, luckily, was an event reward, but still-- “The Third Magical Girl” and “Waiting for the Moment” are your best bets for Accele MP Gain Up outside of that. The passive stats for its ATK are also quite good. Even if it doesn’t help increase your damage in the conventional sense, it’ll still increase it by pure stats alone (note: this only applies if it is max awakened).

The Charged Attack Damage Up is good here, but there are also unlimited four-star memoria that can also offer the same amount of it. In comparison, there are no equivalent unlimited Accele MP Gain Up memoria that can equal “The Third Magical Girl.”

So-- in the end, this is a good memoria, Whale-Tier even, despite not having good synergy. You shouldn’t feel the need to roll for it though-- NA Refugees should have “Always Thinking of You” at least, so getting “The Third Magical Girl” isn’t as necessary as it would have been in the past. But that doesn’t stop it from still being excellent for Magia teams.

This should be good for Support who are Magia-oriented.

The Small Chocolatier

Single Effect: Blast Damage Up [20%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [12.5%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

MLB Effect: Blast Damage Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

TLDR: "The Small Chocolatier” is rather good and will be excellent for Kimochi battles. It’s power relies in building up high Charge combos and then releasing them through Blast Disks, resulting in a high amount of damage. It’s two effects of Blast Damage Up and Charged Attack Damage Up synergize really well, while the Status Ailment Resistance is more of a bonus. "The Small Chocolatier” is exclusive to the The Mirror World Chocolatier gacha. This is event memoria and should be kept in case of a rerun.

Review: "The Small Chocolatier” is essentially a much better version of “Warm Christmas,” which also gave 15% Charged Attack Damage Up and 25% Blast Damage Up, but no third effect. The only thing “Warm Christmas” has going for it is slightly better passive ATK stats... But it’s been thoroughly power creeped.

So, with that out of the way, how good is this memoria? Let’s quickly summarize its effects first.

Blast Damage Up is a straightforward buff that means blast disks will deal more damage. Blast Damage Up has a percentage ceiling at 100% that is surprisingly easy to hit. Charged Attack Damage Up will cause the target to cause more damage from their Accele or Blast disks if used after a charge disk. You’ll want to use this memoria on the character who is using the charged attack, not the character setting up the charge disks. Status AIlment Resistance Up will decrease the chance of the Buffed target to be affected by a Status Ailment. Note that even at 100%, it is still possible for a character to be hit by a status ailment. This buff will stack.

The Status Ailment Resistance here can be seen as a nice bonus on top of everything else-- it doesn’t take away from the other two effects, but it doesn’t add anything really into them either. So with that, let’s take a look at how Blast Damage Up and Charged Attack Damage Up synergize-- spoiler alert, they synergize extremely well.

This is best used on charge teams where you will be building a high Charge Combo and release it into a ferocious Blast attack. This strategy sees a lot of usage in Kimochi fights and in some EX-Challenges, and will give a high amount of damage output.

As mentioned above, you want "The Small Chocolatier” to be on the character who is using the final Blast disk at the end of the Charge Combo. This means that you could have a solo Blast gorilla equipped with this memoria in a team of Charge Gorillas to take advantage of both the Charged Attack Damage Up and the Blast Damage Up.

The highest single target damage possible for PVE is “CCB” when using a puella combo-- followed by “BBB,” “ACB,” CCA.” Again this is for Puella Combos-- otherwise, it would be “AAA,” “BBB,” ACA,” ect (Source). So to get the most use out of this memoria, make sure that you use a puella combo when ending the Charge Combo with a Blast disk.

As repeated many times on this Blog, Blast Damage Up is really easy to overcap on-- however the Blast Damage Up offered by "The Small Chocolatier” is actually on the smaller side here, at 25% when max awakened. You still want to watch your Blast Damage Up (for example, don’t use an active Blast Damage Up memoria and then also a Blast Damage Up connect on the same turn), but it’s not as much as an issue as it would be with other memoria in the game.

"The Small Chocolatier” will be excellent on Blast Gorillas and on units with ACCBB disks. You can try using Charge gorillas for this too, but be cautious in case you end up in a situation where you’re forced to end the charge combo through unlucky disk selection, but don’t have any Blasts on the field.

This memoria should be good on Supports who have the above requirements. Characters like Sister Momoko will especially benefit from this.
