A Good Es Build?

[Harpo Mungis]

Es is the one character that always feels really weak when I play as her. If there are any fans of her here, what Potentials/Tactic types do you recommend for her? I think my problem is I always try going all in on her crests but then don't have any moves to generate the damn things.

I usually focus on aerial mobility, triple dash and crests. If you can't get hit then your DPS doesn't matter.

That being said, I don't play the new difficulty, so I don't know how well she holds up there (I haven't cleared it yet)

What's the new difficulty?? Is it just other entropy modifiers ?

Its the new Transcendence Mode, which can be activated once you've done Entropy 100. I wouldn't call it a new difficulty cuz it doesn't show up as one, its more like a difficult modifier for the hard difficulty.

With Es I usually go for ice tactics and shadow. Ice spikes have worked great for me as the pick off distant enemies. I found for move sets focus on getting new moves and mobility then crests. I like to play more tanky so mobility is last for me I just upgrade my health and get as many health potions and revives as possible.
In general though mobility is king if you want to not get hit, it's also a good way to survive if your damage isn't great.

What's the best way to beat 100? I've been struggling with the timer aspect.

Es weak? She don't have special shenaningan or some OP stuff, but you can make cool thing with her and she have some Hakumen raw power with swift hit.

My go-to Tactic is Lightning mark with Pulsing Lightning upgrade: when you lay a skill, it mark the target that will explode with absurde damage (OS almost everything). The upgrade mark the target hit by the Lightning Mark... Before the damage check. Meaning they'll explode, killing and marking other target that will explode and mark, etc...

With this tactic, you can take any potential that ask you to spend some MP (those lay mark) or Bruenor potential that turn your main skill into some light arc for 33MP.

This will cover the various mob during the stages.

Against boss, upgrade Tristan and everything about it + triple jump + dash/jump reset universal aerial attack.
With that, jump above the boss, do your two attack, "stomp" him, which reset your two attack. You can stomp 3 times total + two attack and you can reset this whole process by doing your double jump, then your triple jump, meaning that most of boss won't even be able to touch you.
If necessary dash will also reset the above process.

From there, everything else is just QoL for you to enjoy, even if I would take every universal Enhancement and

I'd love to answer that question for you, but i can't really. I did Entropy 100 only because i was playing as Rachel, and she's pretty damn braindead once you figure out that fully upgraded Tempest Dahlia can carry you through the game.

I'll have to try that

Alright, just had an amazing run with Es where I focused on her aerial attacks and crests, and piicked up lightwave and impulse Tactics. It's like you guys said, she needs Tactics for damage but she lays so much crap around the arena that she can trigger them like crazy. Granted I was only Entropy 25, but it's still the most powerful I've felt on an Es run yet. Thanks for the tips!

so to strong, they even nerf her
