Shelirionach, Adam or Yakterina?

[Dokachi]

I have both, who u think is a better option for a starter player guys?
Thanks for ur time

[Daguza]

Yeka has a very favorable element and or passive for all 3 Abyss. She's also in the general pool so you can expect to get more of her for Disciplining and inherits unlike Sheli. So, she's may be hard to replace cuz of that.

But on the other hand, Sheli passive to recover MP is very nice for farming as well as a very rare trait(MP pots are rarer then Gems afterall). The Sleep passive, idk enough to say but she doesn't take extra damage from being woken up by physical like everyone else which I could definitely see being clutch. Also her DPS is probably the best in the game from what I heard.

And a pro and a con to consider about Dark Mages.
+ Does not suffer elemental penalty from casting off element spell.
- Does not learn off element spells.

Personally if it were me, I'd use em both. 2 mage line-up is great for farming and can have 2 characters on debuff duty when needed.

Thanks i gonna consider that, pls if u have time to help a beginner i want to make some questions by dm

Yekaterina's special ability is priceless, especially when you are just starting out. Every time she stops an ambush you get a direct benefit. Eventually ambushes aren't that big a deal, but in the beginning ambushes waste a lot resources. Yekaterina is one of the best characters in the game, if not the best character (other than MC).

Sorry but no. Dark mages are weak to light and light mages are weak to dark.

Eg. Adam is weak against Sheli and Sheli is weak against Adam.

You're correct and I literally found out a couple minutes before reading ur comment XD

Shelirionach is the one that its gonna be performing the best when taking all 3 abyss into consideration, mages do fall of on abyss 3 but she falls off the least.

[Guurt]

In Abyss three you don't want a mage. You want a Priest that can cast all the Mage spells. I don't think Shelirionach can duel class yet, so she won't be as strong as a mage that can get to level 60 and then become a priest. Yekaterina is a fantastic priest. She can still cast all of her mage spells, without the downside of being a mage. Most of the time she will cast priest spells, but on those rare occasions where you want some mage spells she will still have you covered.

If I need to give priorities....

Yeka > Adam/Sheri

Reasoning:
1. Adam and Sheri are one of the very rare mages that have access to light (for Adam) and dark(for Sheri) spells.
2. Adam can access to Priest class, meaning that he can have the benefits of both classes and spell pools, which would be indispensable in harder contents. Of course this need some grinding and back-to back class changes....meaning luck in sniping class scrolls
3. While Sheri does not have alt class atm, her passives allow you to dive in the abyss for a longer time compared to usual mages. When your usual mages ran out of gas, Sheri can still give some and even more.

Why Yeka priority is above both Adam and Sheri?
1. As mentioned above, her passive can nullify ambushes once in a while. And one failed ambush could meant life and death in some situations.
2. Her other passive allow you to not having hard time in early hell named undead enemies.
3. Yekahas access to low and mid Water spells, in addition to her low to high Earth spells (in addition to her Secret Arts), which will help a lot for some enemies. For the note;  Adam only has low to high Light spells (in addition to Secret Arts). Sheri has low to high Dark Spells, but does not have Secret Arts.
4. Just like Adam, Yeka has access to Priest class, means more spell pools in her repertoire.
5. Yeka is Neutral, means that she can be inserted into most party setups

But ultimately, Yeka and Adam can be obtained on normal banner, while Sheri atm is limited banner only.....so do weight your choices carefully.

priest can't cast the "La" mage spells

[リュータ]

Secret art can be used regardless class
You will never need to use them more than once and Secret art have more damage than actual La spell
Sheri have actual advantage despite being mage with low elf health pool you can put her in front row. You can also put her in back row and have her inherit attract skill to have pseudo tanker (if not better than actual knight).
Yeka can be inherited to treasure opener since its a thing. But then there is also option to make Yeka actual treasure opener with jean inherit but its much more investment than the former.
I can argue Milana mage better than the 3 option here since she can fulfil 2 role, 3 role if you give her inherit some priest healing spell.

Yeka. Earth spell deals bonus damage to undead and lizard enemies. She's effective for farming Abyss lvl 1-3, which contain several levels with those types of enemies.

[Damon]

I would definitely pick Yeka too for QoL. I kinda love Adam because his resistance penetration ability, meaning every enemies regardless of resistance will still take extra damage. On the other hand Adam can also be amazing inheritance character for the purpose of resistance penetration.

[Perrin]

Yeka is still best mage.

Yeka's passive can be inherited, that's what i'm planing on doing with her and Lana, since i want my group to be all uniques

Yes but it would be weaker though. Idk how much though.
