The True Gift Was the Smile

Obtainability: “Christmas String” event gacha. This is event memoria and should be kept in the case of a rerun. Single Effect: Attack Down [60%] & Dazzle [65%] (One / 1 Turn) MLB Effect: Attack Down [65%] & Dazzle [100%] (One / 1 Turn)

Attack Down will decrease the target’s base attack.

Dazzle is a Status Ailment that causes the afflicted target to have a 50% chance to miss their attacks, make the target take 80% more damage from its weak element, and prevent the target from recovering HP. Dazzle chance can stack.

“The True Gift Was the Smile” has excellent DEF stats, and will be especially good for Mirrors thanks to its low cooldown and excellent effects. The effects synergize very well. Dazzle means the enemy has a 50% chance of missing your character, and the Attack Down means the attacks that don’t miss won’t hit as hard. Additionally, the low cooldown means you can potentially use it more than once in a fight, especially if equipped on a unit with passive Skill Quicken.

Note that the Dazzle is not a 100% chance as a single copy. If you want that 100% chance, you need to get five copies in total to max awaken “The True Gift Was the Smile,” which is no small feat when you consider that it’s a limited memoria in a fateweave that has two four-star rate-up memoria. However, even a single copy of “The True Gift Was the Smile” has 60% Attack Down and a six-turn cooldown, making it still useful. 

The DEF stats, as noted, are very good. That means this memoria can qualify as 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.

Lastly, “The True Gift Was the Smile” can potentially offer an offensive purpose as well. Dazzle won’t just make the enemy miss half the time, but it will also make the afflicted take increased damage from their weak element. If you can counter their weak element, you have a way to both protect your team and deal extra damage.

Overall a very good memoria.

TLDR: “The True Gift Was the Smile” is overall a very good, very solid memoria. It’ll be a pain to max awaken it, but it’s ultimately worth it if you want to benefit from its outstanding passive DEF stats. It can be used even as a single copy however, especially for Magia Stall teams.

Reason For Involvement

Single Effect: Dazzle [35%] (All / 1 Turn)

MLB Effect: Dazzle [37.5%] (All / 1 Turn)

Effect Definitions:

Dazzle is a Status Ailment that will cause the afflicted target to have a 50% chance to miss their attacks, make the target take 80% more damage from its weak element, and prevent the target from recovering HP. It can be considered stronger than Fog or Darkness. As a Status Ailment, Dazzle will negate Evade and can be used in combination with the effect “Damage Up Versus Enemies Affected With Status Ailments.” Dazzle chance can stack.

TLDR: This memoria is enhancement fodder because it is not reliable.

Review: "Reason For Involvement” is going to have a very similar review when compared to other active three-star memoria that can give a low 37.5% chance of a Status Ailment: aka, there are ways to make this work, but the memoria itself isn’t great.

The most easily comparable memoria would be “Never Missing a Scoop” which has Darkness as a Status Ailment and not Dazzle. "Reason For Involvement” has a superior Status Ailment, so of the two, this is the memoria to keep if you need an active. Again though, it still has similar issues as “Never Missing a Scoop.” The chance for Dazzle to go off here is very low when you consider that you’re using an entire active slot-- this is even when you take into account that it has the potential to effect all the enemies on the board.

The memoria “The Way Home after the Rain (Leila)” does not have Dazzle, but it does have a 100% chance for Darkness to go on a single target along with Attack Down. It’s a much less risky memoria than using “Reason For Involvement” is, because there is a greater chance of the Status Ailment working, and even if it doesn’t, the enemy still has to contend with that Attack Down debuff. In fact, the two memoria even have the same cooldown.

All of this being said, there are ways to try and make "Reason For Involvement” work. The first would be using an active Status Ailment Resistance Down memoria on the enemies to try and get the Dazzle to stick. There are a few different memoria that do this, but the one all players will have access to easily is the Mirrors shop purchasable “Only You Are Real” which will debuf the enemies with 12.5% Status Ailment Resistance Down. Using that memoria and "Reason For Involvement” will give you roughly a 50% chance of Dazzle working.

The memoria “Night Buzz Time” gives a higher chance at 17.5%, though this still isn’t great.

One of the problems you might notice here is that you’re using up two active slots to try and make one memoria work properly, and there is a chance that you can still fail.

The other way to try and make "Reason For Involvement” would be to hard reset the game. It’ll reset you back to the beginning of the last round you were in (note that this will not work for Mirrors). Of course, this might be time consuming and you could end up getting even worse results than what you initially had before.

So overall? Stick with something more reliable like “The Way Home after the Rain (Leila).”

‘Tis I, the Third Amane Sister, Tsukune

Single Effect: Dazzle [8%] (One / 1 Turn)

MLB Effect: Dazzle [16%] (One / 1 Turn)

Effect Definitions:

Dazzle is a Status Ailment that will cause the afflicted target to have a 50% chance to miss their attacks, make the target take 80% more damage from its weak element, and prevent the target from recovering HP. It can be considered stronger than Fog or Darkness. As a Status Ailment, Dazzle will negate Evade and can be used in combination with the effect “Damage Up Versus Enemies Affected with Status Ailments.” Dazzle chance can stack.

TLDR: Complete garbage. Use this on your Supports if you want to piss everyone off. This memoria is exclusive to the "FM Kamihama Holy Radio Station” event shop. This is event memoria and should be kept in the case of a rerun.

Review: “‘Tis I, the Third Amane Sister, Tsukune” is an exceptionally terrible memoria, best used for memes and tomfoolery. Unfortunately it’s an event memoria and should be kept in case of the event being rerun (no matter how unlikely)-- but you can stick it in your Memoria Vault to avoid looking at it, at least.

What makes it so bad? The Dazzle has, at most, a 16% chance of working. That’s stupidly low, and it only affects one character to make it worse!

What else is there to say? It’s bad.
