Overview
Elaine
Bone Shatterer
Wildlings
Advanced Elite
AOE Damage
Debuffer
4: Position 4 is the optimal back-row slot for Elaine. She is a Rifleman with low VIT (299), so she must avoid front-row positions. Position 4 places her behind the tanks while keeping position 5 open for a healer or second carry.
3: Position 3 works as an alternative back-row slot. Slightly more exposed than position 4 but still protected by front-row tanks. Best when position 4 is occupied by a higher-priority carry like Heytex.
5: Fallback position when both 3 and 4 are taken. Elaine’s debuffs and AOE damage function identically from any back-row slot, but position 5 is typically reserved for supports.
Elaine is the Wildlings’ primary debuffer who reduces all enemy STR, INT, and AGI by 12% for 2 rounds with every Cursed Scythe cast while dealing 80% TAC DMG to all enemies. Her Soul Reaper passive converts 100% of the stat loss she inflicts on enemies into permanent stat gains for herself, making her progressively stronger with each cast. With her Eclipse UW granting +20% DMG against Cursed enemies and team-wide shields when Cursed enemies die, Elaine combines sustained AOE damage with escalating stat warfare.
Pros & Cons
- Cursed Scythe reduces all enemy STR, INT, and AGI by 12% for 2 rounds on every cast, progressively weakening the entire enemy lineup’s damage, healing, and action speed.
- Soul Reaper converts 100% of stat loss inflicted on enemies into permanent stat gains for Elaine, making her progressively stronger with each Cursed Scythe cast.
- Eclipse UW grants +20% DMG against Cursed enemies and generates team-wide shields (20% of Elaine’s max HP) when Cursed enemies die, adding defensive value on kills.
- Skeleton exclusive gear debuffs the three highest-stat enemies at battle start (STR/INT/AGI -8% each, 2 rounds) and permanently makes the lowest-INT enemy take +8% more damage.
- Power of Wisdom scales TAC DMG by +1% per 80 INT, compounding with Soul Reaper’s stat gains for accelerating damage over time.
- Cleanse effects remove Cursed status, negating Elaine’s primary debuff and the +20% DMG bonus from Eclipse UW against Cursed targets.
- Burst damage lineups can end fights before Elaine’s debuffs meaningfully stack, making her investment in long-fight scaling irrelevant.
- Low VIT (299) makes her extremely fragile — without tank protection, she is easily killed before she can cast Cursed Scythe multiple times.

Gear
Skeleton is mandatory for the battle-start debuffs and INT scaling. Resolute is the standard second set to keep Elaine alive long enough for her debuffs to stack. In heavily protected lineups (Buri + Ada), swap Resolute for Hurricane or Apocalypse for maximum damage output.
Elaine’s exclusive set. 2-piece grants +5% INT, scaling Power of Wisdom’s TAC DMG bonus. 4-piece debuffs the three highest STR/INT/AGI enemies at battle start (-8% each stat, 2 rounds) and permanently makes the lowest-INT enemy take +8% more damage. Provides immediate battle-start impact.
#1 Best
Death immunity 4-piece is critical for Elaine’s low VIT (299). She needs multiple rounds to stack Cursed Scythe debuffs — Resolute ensures she survives burst attempts to reach her scaling threshold.
#2
Strong offensive set with mixed ATK and survival bonuses. Provides a balanced option when neither pure defense nor pure offense is optimal.
#3
Offensive set focused on damage output. Pairs well with Hurricane for maximum TAC DMG in lineups where Elaine’s survivability is handled by Buri’s damage distribution.
#4
Provides TAC DMG and penetration bonuses. Fallback offensive option when higher-ranked sets are unavailable.
#5
+25% TAC DMG at Master. Pure damage amplification that scales with Power of Wisdom’s INT- based TAC DMG bonus. Best when Elaine has sufficient survivability from the lineup.
#6
Elaine’s substats split between offensive (DMG Bonus, INT, Crit Rate on weapon and jewelry) and defensive (HP%, VIT, DEF on helmet and body). The offensive substats scale her damage through Power of Wisdom’s INT scaling, while defensive substats keep her alive to stack debuffs.
DMG Bonus, INT, Crit Rate
DMG Bonus amplifies all of Elaine’s TAC DMG output. INT scales TAC ATK and Power of Wisdom’s +1% TAC DMG per 80 INT. Crit Rate enables critical hits on Cursed Scythe’s AOE.
HP%, AGI, VIT
HP% and VIT compensate for Elaine’s lowest-in-class base VIT (299). AGI provides defensive targeting resistance against AGI-targeting skills.
DEF, VIT, DMG Mitigation
Pure defense to compensate for Elaine’s fragility. Every point of DEF and VIT keeps her alive for one more round of Cursed Scythe casting.
DMG Bonus, INT, Skill Effect Enhancement
DMG Bonus and INT maximise Cursed Scythe’s damage. Skill Effect Enhancement amplifies both the damage and the stat reduction values.

Three Wildlings (Harman, Elaine, Heytex) are replaced by cross-faction picks for stronger individual heroes.
Synergies
Elaine’s Cursed Scythe debuffs grow stronger with each cast — she needs to survive multiple rounds to reach her scaling threshold. Ada’s Reviving provides the sustained healing that keeps Elaine alive through attrition. United Prowess’s +20% healing boost also amplifies any healing Elaine receives from other sources.
Elaine’s -12% STR/INT/AGI from Cursed Scythe stacks with Eva’s -8% all stats from Corvine Curse and Nirvana UW’s -15% to highest-stat enemies. Together they create layered stat reduction that progressively cripples the entire enemy lineup’s effectiveness. Both are Wildlings for faction bonus.
Harman’s Staunch Will shields absorb incoming damage aimed at Elaine’s fragile back-row position (VIT 299). Guardian INT’s +22% healing boost amplifies any healing Elaine receives. Both are Wildlings for faction bonus.
Marlen’s Rapid Arrows target back-row enemies while Elaine’s Cursed Scythe hits all enemies. Together they pressure both the front and back row simultaneously. Marlen’s Wildlings Leader grants +5% DMG Bonus and +3% HP to Elaine as a fellow Wildlings hero.
Buri’s Link of Life distributes 50% of incoming damage across the team, preventing Elaine from being burst down in a single hit despite her low VIT (299). Frosty Coffin’s crit buffs also amplify Elaine’s Cursed Scythe crit potential.
Interactions with other heroes’ ultimate weapons.
God-Slaying Axe’s sustained healing through Raging Roar keeps Elaine alive across multiple rounds, giving her time to stack Cursed Scythe debuffs. The +10% DMG buff also directly amplifies Elaine’s TAC DMG output.
Nirvana reduces the highest INT/STR enemies by 15% on odd rounds and highest AGI/LUK by 15% on even rounds. Combined with Elaine’s -12% STR/INT/AGI from Cursed Scythe, the dual stat reduction rapidly strips enemies of their effective stats.
When Cursed enemies die, Eclipse UW generates team-wide shields (20% of Elaine’s max HP). Each shield event triggers Chimera Anchor’s chip damage (50% TAC ATK to a random enemy). Elaine’s kills create a chain: Cursed kill -> team shields -> Chimera Anchor damage.

Counters
- Cleanse Effects (Hard Counter) — Any hero or mechanic that cleanses debuffs removes Cursed status from enemies, negating Elaine’s -12% stat reduction, Eclipse UW’s +20% DMG bonus, and Soul Reaper’s stat accumulation. Without Cursed status, Elaine loses most of her value.
- Burst Damage (Hard Counter) — Elaine’s value scales with fight duration — she needs multiple rounds to stack Cursed Scythe debuffs. Burst lineups that kill back-row heroes in 1-2 rounds eliminate Elaine before her debuffs meaningfully accumulate.
- Stat-Dependent Heroes (Hard Counter) — Heroes whose damage or healing scales directly with their INT, STR, or AGI stats are progressively crippled by Cursed Scythe’s -12% per cast. After 2-3 casts, these heroes lose 24-36% of their primary stat, dramatically reducing their effectiveness.
- High-ATK Carries (Soft Counter) — Carries like Victoria, Galande, and Amum that rely on high ATK stats for burst damage are weakened by Cursed Scythe’s STR/INT reduction, reducing their kill potential while Soul Reaper makes Elaine progressively stronger.
Rating
A Tier. Elaine is a strong AOE debuffer who scales well in prolonged fights through Soul Reaper stat accumulation. Her -12% STR/INT/AGI debuff per cast is uniquely powerful in stat warfare, and Skeleton’s battle-start debuffs give her immediate impact. She is rated A rather than S because she lacks the raw damage output of dedicated carries and her debuffs can be cleansed or outpaced by burst lineups that end fights before stacking matters. She is most valuable in sustain compositions that give her time to stack Curses.
