A Perfect Photo of Us

Obtainability: Limited to the “A New Beginning” event.

Effect: Negate Evade [100%] / Blast Damage Up [20%] (Team for one turn)

TLDR: This is a great memoria for Mirrors in that it gives the entire team Negate Evade and Blast Damage Up. The Blast Damage Up percentage is low comparatively, but it's still useful and a good way of finishing off a turn.

Thoughts: This memoria isn’t going to be as useful in PVE-- Negate Evade is rarely found, and you’ll probably want a higher Blast Damage Up percentage during a puella combo, making the benefits of this memoria less than stellar.

However, the real power of this memoria is in Mirrors. The cooldown is low enough that it can be used by turn three. Additionally, note that the effects of Negate Evade and Blast Damage Up will apply to the entire team. This gives it a versatile use, in that it can give your team some damage and/or give your entire team the ability to say “fuck evade.”

@leafbladie has the following to say on the blast side of it:

In the new mirrors it can be useful if you're using a 5 man team; just to give your team more damage in the final turn.

If you can’t guarantee a puella combo but you can fit blast in there somewhere, then this memoria is very helpful. Additionally, one can equip this memoria on a unit that won’t actually need to use it (such as a tank), meaning you can save more powerful active memoria for your damage-dealers.

When using this memoria you’ll want to make sure you have some sort of blast combo going on, as otherwise the only benefit you’ll be receiving is the Negate Evade portion. 

Normally I would include a warning at this portion to make sure you don’t blow past the Blast cap at 100%, however this memoria being at 20% makes it harder to do so-- in fact, using a connect such as Ashley’s at 80% will fit you nice and snug exactly at that 100% cap.

Overall, this is a handy memoria to have for Mirrors.

The Calm After the Storm

Obtainability: Unlimited

Effect: Negate Evade [100%] (Self for three turns)

[magiamemoria]

Sworn Promise

Obtainability: Unlimited

Effect: Critical Hit Chance [35%] / Negate Evade (Self for three turns)

TLDR: This memoria is okay, but there are better active memoria out there for increasing your damage.  

Thoughts: This memoria is of mixed use. It’s primary use is going to be in PVE-- it’s cooldown is too long to be useful for Mirrors. Therefor, its Negate Evade effect is largely useless, as Evade is rarely encountered in PVE, and can be largely taken care of with status ailment inflicting memoria (such as Magical Halloween Theater). 

So the real reason to use this memoria would be due to its Critical Hit Chance. At 35%, this chance is rather low, but it’s made up for due to the fact the effect lasts for three turns. You’re better off equipping this memoria on a blast user, as each space the blast disk hits has a seperate chance of being a critical hit or not.

There are higher active memoria in the game that can give Critical Hit Chance, such as the unlimited 3* “The Glasses Girls’ Night Out” or the more limited 4* “Lightning Strike.” However, the fact that this memoria can last for three turns can give it a slight edge.

However, one important thing to note is that Critical Hit Chance does not stack. Equipping this memoria and a passive memoria such as “I Made Friends” which has a passive 25% chance is not going to combine into a 60% chance-- instead, both memoria have a separate probability to proc. Therefor, when using this memoria you may want to consider using passive memoria that don’t offer critical hit chance.

However, at the end of the day, it might be better to use a more reliable form of damage-increasing active memoria. Better choices include the unlimited 4* “I Won’t Stray” and the unlimited 4* “Past and Future.” Both also last for three turns, but will be useful for everyone moment of that turn.

The Price of a Wish

Obtainability: Limited to the “Endless Beginnings” event.

Notes: This is event memoria and should be kept in the case of the event being rerun. Also, thanks to my friend @leafbladie for looking over this review as a form of quality control!

Effect: Negate Evade Chance [70%] / Blast Damage Up [30%] (Self for three turns)

TLDR: This is a decent Blast Damage Up memoria though keep in mind that there are other active memoria that can have a stronger effect. The reason to use this one over those is because this memoria can last for three turns. This memoria is fine for supports and PVE, but not good for Mirrors.

Thoughts: This memoria is most easily compared to “Sworn Promise,” (link to be added) as both are Garden/Flower memoria and both give Negate Evade as an effect. However, much like “Sworn Promise,” “The Price of a Wish” has the same issue with Negate Evade. Namely, that it’s primary use is going to be in PVE as its cooldown is too long to be useful for Mirrors. Therefor, its Negate Evade effect is largely useless, as Evade is rarely encountered in PVE, and can be largely taken care of with status ailment inflicting memoria (such as Magical Halloween Theater). Additionally, unlike “Sworn Promise,” this memoria’s Negate Evade isn’t 100%, only being 70% at max ascended. 

So with that in mind, the real reason to this memoria would be its second effect: Blast Damage Up. There are very few memoria in EN that offer such an effect for three turns. Of note, the Blast Damage Up offered here is not very high in the tradeoff for such a long effect-- there are many other active memoria that offer a higher percentage. This includes:

“Unfaltering Conviction” Blast Damage Up [60%] (Self for one turn)

“Christmas Night Magic” Blast Damage Up [50%] (Self for one turn) / Status Ailment Resistance Down [15%] (All foes for one turn)

“Kawaii Collection” Blast Damage Up [45%] (Self for one turn) / Defense Down [45%] (All foes for one turn)

“Two Shadows Approach Silently” Negate Evade / Blast Damage Up [45%] (Self for one turn)

“Fusion!” Blast Damage Up [40%] / Accele MP Up [22.5%] (Self for one turn)

“No Regrets” Blast Damage Up [40%] (Self for one turn)

However, @leafbladie has the following to say:

"The Price of a Wish’s" lower percentage might be preferred if you're worried about hitting the blast cap, and want an effect that will last longer while offering a secondary advantage.

Having this effect for three turns is still good. It goes without saying that this is best equipped on a character who is a blast gorilla, or will at least be reliably able to use three blast disks per turn. 

Like said above, this memoria is not good for Mirrors as it’s cooldown is too long, and it doesn’t have enough defensive stats to be a good stat stick.

This memoria should be fine on supports, as long as they have three blast disks.

An Onerous Uniform

Obtainability: You can get one copy from completing all three of the unit’s MSS, and the rest can be rolled from the Support Fate Weave. Usable by Kanagi Izumi only.

Effect: Negate Evade / Negate Counter (Self for one turn)

TLDR: Text

Thoughts: This is a decent personal memoria. “Negate Evade” may not be useful often in PVE content, but the “Negate Counter” can see a lot of usage for bosses or Magius enemies. It’s worth having on hand.

You will probably want more useful memoria in mirrors, such as “Two Shadows Approach Silently” which offers Negate Evade and Blast Damage Up.

East and West Agreements

Obtainability: Limited to the “Breakpoint“ event.

Effect: Negate Evade (Self for one turn)

TLDR: Text

Thoughts: Text

his memoria is one you’ll want to keep. It has limited use in PVE, where evade is seldom encountered, so most discussion will be centered on how it stands in Mirrors.

“East and West Agreements” is most easily compared to “Two Shadows Approach Silently.” “Two Shadows Approach Silently” (hereby referred to as “Two Shadows”) has a much better effect, as it negates evade while also giving blast up-- which is great as a finisher for Mirrors. However, “Two Shadows” is also a three star memoria compared to “East and West,” and therefor has worse stats. 

“East and West” has good stats but can only offer ‘Negate Evade’-- it won’t be helpful otherwise. 

Which one is better will be up to your needs specifically, but in general “Two Shadows” will win over “East and West.” 

As far as it being a stat stick, “Dependable Negotiator” has 100 more defense at full MLB and max level.

But this memoria is still worth keeping around and is still PVP viable.
