LilithBuild and Guide

Lilith, is the fourteenth Human Soul released in the game. She is an INT Ranger who primarily relies on various debuffs and buffs to support her team significantly. Let's take a look at her skills first:

• Main - Concentrated Barrage: The bread and butter of Lilith, inflicting "Ultra-Dimensional Analysis" on the target and enemies within 3m, which increases their incoming Critical Damage by 40%. This skill is matched with Mephi’s  "Multi-Dimensional Analysis" in a new "Analysis" debuff category, and  becomes a guaranteed critical to any enemy inflicted with “Analysis”. Huge! “Analysis” also improves her other skills.

• Ultimate - Purification Protocol: AoE damage skill that is guaranteed to Crit against enemies with “Analysis” debuff and stun them (guaranteed Crit and stun do not apply without “Analysis”). It also has an interesting additional gimmick in that this skill boosts the Main and Sub-Skills of Operators, including herself. Unfortunately, it only works for their damage and healing parts, ignoring Buff/Debuff potency and duration.

• Sub 1 - Indirect Fire: An AoE skill, decreasing enemies Attack by 20% for 12 sec. Against enemies with “Analysis” debuff, additionally decreases their Defense by 20%, stuns them and is guaranteed Crit hit.

• Sub 2 - Support Zone Activation:  A single target skill that creates a small zone around the enemy which decreases damage enemies deal and damage allies receive by 10% each. Against enemies with “Analysis” debuff, additionally decreases their Magic Resistance by 25% for 12 sec.

• Passive - Last Stand: Grants Operators including herself a 35% Attack and Speed boost.

• Artifact – Ark Chamuel: Increases her Mana Recovery by 10-25%, with other Operators gaining half the values. Furthermore, when she attacks an enemy with “Analysis” debuff with her Normal Attack, increase all allies Critical Rate by 15-25%.

Lilith, the first INT Ranger in game, departs from the usual Primary DPS role of this class and instead brings a plethora of debuffs to the table, with some buffs for her fellow Operators. As you might have expected, Increased Critical Damage increases your team damage sharply, with Defense and Magic Resistance reduction further boosting the same. Her Attack reduction and Support Zone helps your units survive better (especially the melee allies).

Her synergy with Operators hits a roadblock in the conditions it's dependent on - mainly requiring her Ultimate to enhance their skills (and even then does not affect the buff/debuff values).  Not all is bad though, as Mephi and Beleth can gain 35% Attack & Speed and 5-12.5% Mana recovery just by being there while Lilith hits things. Lilith’s personal DPS is also not entirely negligible, although primarily suited for PvE situations rather than raids.

Her main downfall, a common factor in recent souls, is that she is a bit on the squishier side of things. Investment helps her survive, but otherwise she has no notable drawbacks.

Investment

• Cultured Users:  Do you even need to ask after looking at that design, and especially her Bond Skin?!

• New Players: Compliments the free Origin Mephistopheles very well, allowing her to function as a carry. If you have selected Beleth from infinite reroll, the trifecta will let you cruise through the content.

• F2P/Casual Players: Good to at least get a copy or two, she is versatile to use in almost every content, and brings huge DPS increases even at low ascension (if you can keep her alive).

• Dolphins/Competitive Raid Players: Must-have without exception, Lilith shakes up the entire meta for Charite, Rudra, Gaia - dominating the 3 modes and increasing her team's damage anywhere between 15-100% over previous meta comps. Eternal + Investment with Legendary + Artifact at least.

• Whales/Rankers: Must-have if you want to keep up with Raid Meta, while not Larimar-tier broken, she will easily create a huge gap between Raid scores for those who lack her. Origin Stars investment for extra survival in high end teams.

Team Composition and Synergies

Lilith works as a Debuffer primarily in all game modes, except PvE where she can work as a very good DPS/Sub-DPS depending on investment. In PvE she will primarily want Beleth and Mephistopheles as her partners, as the trio enhances each other significantly. Raid-wise, Lilith is best friends with Dominique, another multi-role INT character like her, and Larimar. The trio is a menace in Raids, bringing the bar up on DPS on most bosses and destroying many previously established Meta teams.

Conclusion

Lilith is strong, very strong  for those who care about Raids and want to keep up with Meta. As discussed earlier, she makes previous Meta teams in Charite, Gaia and Rudra Raid bosses look sad by comparison. While she does have lower impact in Dark Knight and Pluto, she will be creeping into your Team 2/3 regardless. She has great potential in ESS and weekly cat rotations as well.

Even with Collab around the corner, and Wheri being potentially equally OP, if you care about Raids, at least aim to secure 2-4 copies of Lilith.
