Discussion: BYP Eingram and Guardian

The time has finally come for the Ancient Automatons : Eingram and Guardian to arise from their slumber and emerge in the lands of Heiland! Raging Eingram will grant you the strength of the Primal Stone Fire Heat GS, and Sentry Guardian unleashes your fervour with the Ceremonial Water SnC. Are you ready to acquire the power of ancient technology?


Shishui: YAAAAAAS!

Nezzy: Well, let's dive straight into the individual review of each equipment sets!

Eingram : Fire Heat GS

I'm sure everyone is familiar with Lich GS by now. In essence, Eingram GS is an offensive counterpart to Lich GS which is the defensive counterpart. Boasting a grand total of +114% Cleave damage, and bonus +54% damage on Heat bar usage, Eingram GS packs a relentless punch against unsuspecting enemies. The weapon is endowed with double support magi slots, which enables unique combinations of both offensive and defensive support options so that you can fully optimise your playstyle, including the infamous Venom Guard + Smite Sprite combo.

The only distinct downside to Eingram GS is the lack of survivability options. With no defensive abilities and no heal magi slot, you will be relying heavily on your support magi and dodging skills to stay alive. However, in a team setting this can be compensated by AoE heals from allies.

Summary : A powerful set that requires min-maxing and strong control to fully realise its potential. A top-tier choice, not recommended for uninvested players.

Guardian : Water SnC

Sadly, this is another set that has fallen at the hands of the merciless meta. Guardian SnC does possess a respectable +63% damage boost during Soul mode, along with +63% dodge distance for better maneuverability. What is lacking however, is that the set does not have any Soul charge speed or attack speed, leading to unstable damage output. To maximise the potential of Guardian SnC, you will need to adopt a burst-type playstyle by investing all your offense into the short span of Soul mode duration you have. Very high effort, low reward which is unfavourable due to the plethora of superior options out there.

However, I must say this. That equipment design is absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth collecting just for fashion! (may be my biased opinion, don't think too much into this point)

Summary : Not the best, but definitely servicable. It does help that SnC is and will be one of the most powerful weapon classes for quite a period, thus this makes Guardian SnC still a viable water element option.

Thanks for reading! 

Good luck for your pulls!
