#attack up passive

When I Was Twice My Age

Obtainability: Limited to the support point shop as a promotional memoria.

MLB Effect: Attack Up [10%] & Magia Damage Up [10%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Magia Damage Up increases the damage done by a Magia or a Doppel.

TLDR: A decent free memoria that will go well on magia-focused units. This can be equipped on support.

Review: Honestly, not a bad little freebie memoria. There are better free welfare memoria to equip in the game, such as Kyubey Knight, but this is a good addition for any player who is lacking in the memo department.

It goes without saying that this is best used on a unit who plans to use either a Magia or a Doppel. Note that it won't increase your mp gain, so you'll either want to use an additional memoria to do so or plan ahead of time that the equipped unit will be able to use that said Magia/Doppel.

Its stats, while not outstanding, are still rather nice as well.

Iroha Hits the Beach

Obtainability: Limited to the “Summer With Mikazuki Villa” event.

Notes: This is event memoria for the event “Summer With Mikazuki Villa,” and should be kept regardless of how useful it is. Thank you to @leafbladie for taking the screenshot!

Effect: Attack Up [20%] / MP Gain Up [12.5%]

TLDR: This is a great memoria for usage in PVE, on supports, and eventually in Mirrors.

Thoughts: This memoria’s attack up is 20% when max ascended and is equivalent to other max ascended memoria such as “I Made Friends,” “In The Light at its Birth,” and an un-ascended “My Victory Pose is Kawaii Too.” Ignoring its second effect, this attack up bonus is obviously useful for both PVE and Mirrors.

However, this memoria really shines on a character who you are using for magia or doppels. The MP Gain Up is equivalent to “The Flavor of Drama” or “It’s Not Like I Was Waiting,” (link to be added) and can help your girl build her MP, and the attack up will count towards making the magia damage higher! This way you don’t need to trade off using passive memoria that can only offer mp up and you still boost your character’s attack too. This makes this a useful memoria when utilizing magia teams in harder content.

As for mirrors, the usefulness of this memoria will increase with time. To note is that current EN mirrors is blast-focused with a goal of ending the battles within two turns, and this makes magia useless in ranked, and that the mp gain up is unneeded. However this won’t always be the case. Looking towards the future:

“During the new mirrors ranking event in JP, magias now award large multiplier additions to your scores, and as such, this Memoria is excellent for builds centered around Magia spam to allow your team to hit harder and charge their magia faster,” (@leafbladie​)

So rolling for this memoria now will can help you when this arrives in EN!

Pax Romana's Glittering Maiden

Obtainability: Limited to completing missions for the Puella Historia Campaign. 

MLB Effect: Attack Up [15%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Status Ailment Resistance Up will decrease the chance of the equipped target to be afflicted by a Status Ailment. Even at 100%, it is still possible for a character to be hit by a Status Ailment. This effect will stack.

TLDR: On the lower side of generic, boring. Useful for new players, probably not for established ones.

Review: This is another welfare addition to the increasingly large amount of 15% Attack Up passives that can be found in the game:

(Limited 4*) “Pax Romana's Glittering Maiden” Attack Up [15%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

(Limited 4*) “The Beginning of Despair Illuminated by Hope” Attack Up [15%] & Charge Disc Damage Up [20%]

(Limited 4*) “Uprising Doubles Division” Attack Up [15%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [10%] & Critical Hit [30%]

(Limited 4*) “The Pumpkin King Is Very Pleased” Attack Up [15%] & Damage Increase [15%] & Anti-Curse [100%]

(Limited 4*) “Stars to Express Gratitude” Attack Up [15%] & Damage Cut [20%] & Damage Increase [15%]

(Limited 4*) “The Chance Encounter of Roche Castle” Attack Up [15%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(Limited 4*) “The Sun Does Not Shine on the Land so the Heart Is Shaded” Attack Up [15%] & Defense Up [22.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Flowers, Fallen, Never to Return” Attack Up [15%] & Damage Cut [10%]

(Limited 4*) “A Reasonable and Gentle Strategy” Attack Up [15%] & Charge Disc Damage Up [20%]

(Limited 4*) “Victory Goes Through Time” Attack Up [15%] & Damage Up Versus Witches [20%] & Regenerate HP [3%]

(Limited 4*) “Mourn For I Know the Pain” Attack Up [15%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(4*) “Depart on Morning Glow” Attack Up [15%] & Defense Up [15%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [30%]

That's quite the list, and we aren't even listing memoria that are better than this one-- we're not even listing the three-star memoria with this effect.

At this point in the game, even free-to-play players will have their fair share of excellent passive memoria to choose from. But if you're new and acquired this one, then it's a good starter that should serve you well for a bit. The memoria “Kyubey Knight Breaking Through” is easily gotten through support points and will be better to use though; but if you're looking to round out your roster or to equip some memoria on your support, you can hardly go wrong with "Pax Romana's Glittering Maiden".

The Status Ailment Resistance Up is an alright secondary effect. When the game really wants you to feel a status ailment, nothing short of Anti-SPECIFIC AILMENT NAME will actually help, but this memo can assist in lower tier fighting if you don't have much to work with at the very least.

The Small World I Wanted to Protect

Obtainability: Limited to “Pax Romana’s Sweetheart” event shop. This is event bonus memoria and should be kept in case of a rerun.

MLB Effect: Attack Up [15%] & Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Accele MP Gain Up will increase the amount of MP gained by using Accele discs.

TLDR: A common memoria to buy from event shops, but luckily it’s a good combination of effects. This memoria will be useful in magia teams, provided you plan on using Accele discs.

Review: Accele MP Gain Up and Attack Up are a good combination. Attack Up can be used whenever-- you almost always want to have it, as it’s the best offensive buff in the game. The only times you don’t want to have it are when you’re overcapping on it, but you probably don’t need to worry about that if you’re considering using a memoria like this. Accele MP Gain Up will help increase your MP when using Accele discs, allowing you to reach Magia/Doppel faster, and when you do, that Attack Up will help make the Magia/Doppel hit harder. A fairly useful combo!

This is a nice freebie memo that gives both Attack Up and Accele MP Gain Up, but there are several memoria in the game like it now, and I’m not just talking in general. Here’s a short list of just three-star memoria that strike similarities:

(Limited 3*) “The Small World I Wanted to Protect” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Currently on a Hostile Inspection” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]  

(Limited 3*) “Never Allow Will to Be Erased” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Something to Remember” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Attack Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Prided Haregi” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Magia Damage Up [10%]

Most of these (”Hostile Inspection,” “Never Allow Will to be Erased, “and “Something to Remember”) are event shop memoria. Meanwhile, “Prided Haregi,” is only available in the limited gacha.

Of course, there are four-star examples of Accele MP Gain Up + an Offensive Effect too. Here’s another compilation: 

(Limited 4*) “Waiting for the Moment” Accele MP Gain Up [20%] & Damage Increase [20%]

(Limited 4*) “Rakshasi of Salvation” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Forest Attribute Attack Up [15%]

(Limited 4*) “The Rena I Hate” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & MP Gain Up [10%] &  Attack Up [20%]

(Limited 4*) “An Odd Coincidence” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Magia Damage Up [15%]  

(Limited 4*) “Goodbye Fable” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Magia Damage Up [15%]

(4*) “A Moment of Peace” Accele MP Gain Up [17.5%] & Status Ailment Resistance Down (Self) [10%] & Magia Damage Up [30%]

Notably, all of these four-star memoria (except for the first one) will offer the same amount of Accele MP Gain Up as “The Small World” does. The biggest differences are the secondary effect and how much passive ATK stats they give. That means equipping “The Small World” can give you the same mp gain with a loss in offensive potential. However, it’s also worth pointing out that if one of the above memoria isn’t max-awakened then “The Small World” might actually be better for you overall in comparison, as it comes max-awakened and max-leveled for free!

From Now On, With Everyone

Obtainability: Limited to the “TV Anime 1st Anniversary Memoria Pack” Gem Bag (purchasable with paid or unpaid gems).

MLB Effect: Attack Up [20%] & Defense Up [30%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Defense Up increases the target’s base defense stats. Defense Up is generally worse than Damage Cut.

TLDR: “From Now On With Everyone” is a solid memoria that can be used in most situations as it gives two generic (but useful) effects that will offer both offensive and defensive potential. It’s effects are comparable to several unlimited memoria in the game. However, “From Now On With Everyone” suffers from the fact it comes from a costly Bag using Magia Stones (paid and unpaid), and that there are numerous comparable memoria in the game that can do similarly to what it does, and for a cheaper price.

You can skip this purchase unless you’re very new to the game and need all the help with memoria acquisition that you can get.

This memoria can be used on Support.

Review: “From Now On With Everyone” is good memoria that should be useful in just about any situation thanks to its generic yet helpful effects. Attack Up is one of the best offensive effects in the game, and the only thing that holds the buff back is that it caps at 100%. Defense Up isn’t as good as the effect Damage Cut, but it’s still a solid Defensive buff and will be great for protecting a unit from damage, especially a squishier attacker-type.

You can view “From Now On With Everyone” as a slightly worse version of the memoria “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” which, when Max-Awakened, has 25% Attack Up and 37.5% Defense Up.

That doesn’t mean “From Now On With Everyone” doesn’t have a strange advantage over “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” -- this memoria for some ungodly reason has 2600 ATK. That’s a lot of passive ATK stats. In fact, that’s the most ATK you can find on a memoria currently in the game.

Note from this image that “From Now On With Everyone” even tops several limited memoria. However, also do note that those limited memoria have better effects and higher Attack Up. But still, that’s kind of crazy for a free-to-play friendly memoria!

However, the real question for this memoria isn’t just how good it is. It’s this: is this memoria worth spending magia stones to buy the bag it comes from?

Benefits to consider are that that “From Now On With Everyone” comes Max-Awakened and Max Leveled. Naturally this means that Whales or very established (or lucky!) players won’t have much need for it– but players without good memoria to use, such as new players or some unluckier Free-to-Play players, might find it helpful in building their arsenal.

Another thing to consider would be that it’s not like the memoria in its entirety costs 400 gems. The bag includes a tenpull ticket, so subtract 250 gems and you get 150 gems for the memoria and all the other goodies included– however, is the memoria and a handful of mats worth 150 gems?

That really depends on what kind of memoria you yourself already have. 

If you already have the aforementioned “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” at max-awakened status, then the usefulness of “From Now On With Everyone” is called into question. However, unlike some types of effects in the game, you really can’t go wrong with having more Attack Up passive memoria. Attack Up, as mentioned above, is one of the best effects to have and you’ll always want to have it when doing generic battles or even for things as banal as equipping on your Support. 

But again, this counts on what memoria you already have. And there are a number of really good memoria, including unlimited four-stars, that have high passive ATK stats with a higher percentage of Attack Up:

(Limited 4*) “We Promised Didn't We” Attack Up [30%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

(4*) “Don't Call Me Childish” Attack Up [30%] & Damage Cut [15%] & Defense Down [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Could Not Throw It Away” Attack Up [25%] & Attack Up While At Max Health [30%]

(Limited 4*) “Fairy Tale Entrusted with a Prayer” Attack Up [25%] & MP Gain Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Contradiction of Apology and Punishment” Attack Up [25%] & Damage Up Versus Witches [25%]

(Limited 4*) “The Grin of a Saint” Attack Up [25%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(Limited 4*) “The Young and Pretty Queen” Attack Up [25%] & Poison on Attack [25%] (3 Turns)

(Limited 4*) “Great Success in the Longed for Land” Attack Up [25%] & Bind on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(Limited 4*) “Still Far From a Starry Night...” Attack Up [25%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

(Limited 4*) “Miracle Heroines” Attack Up [25%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Skill Seal on Attack [30% / 1 turn]

(Limited 4*) “A Fake Smile Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Evade [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Kyubey Knight Breaking Through” Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

(4*) “Reaching Out Towards Our Goal” Attack Up [25%] & Fog on Attack [20%] (3 Turns)  

(4*) “That Light I Thought I Gave Up” Attack Up [25%] & Charm on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(4*) “Flickering Aspiration” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Bind [100%]

(4*) “Kind-Hearted Revolutionary” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Provoke [65%]

(4*) “Feigning Innocence School Time” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Stun [100%]

(4*) “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

(4*) “To Grace with Aster” Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Gorge of Fate” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Down (Self) [20%]

When looking at this very very long list, the necessity of “From Now On With Everyone” is called into question. Do you need this memoria? Do you have any of these listed memoria already, and more importantly, are any of them Max-Awakened and max-leveled?

Of special note would be the memoria “Kyubey Knight Breaking Through” as it can be easily purchased through 2000 Support Points. It is a phenomenal memoria and easily counts as Whale tier. So if you’re pressed for Magia Stones and are just wondering about good offensive memoria options, skip “From Now On With Everyone”. Better memoria, even Free-to-Play friendly ones, already exist and can be purchased more cheaply.

But, if you’re a new player or a very unlucky one, “From Now On With Everyone” might give you a little assistance in your collection of memos. It’s certainly not a bad memoria, it’s just decidedly average. Whether or not it’s worth spending 150 magia stones to acquire is up to you, but personally this reviewer says no unless you’re really hurting for better memoria to equip.

Could Not Throw It Away

Obtainability: Limited to the “Homecoming” event (rerun) gacha.

Single Effect: Attack Up While At Max Health [25%] & Attack Up [20%]

MLB Effect: Attack Up While At Max Health [30%] & Attack Up [25%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up While at Max Health will give the equipped unit additional Attack Up as long as that character is at full health.

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

TLDR: “Could Not Throw It Away” is a beast of a memoria, with an absurd amount of combined Attack Up and a high amount of passive ATK stats. It power creeps nearly everything before it and can be useful in both trivial content, possible higher-tier content, and in showing off. Do you need it? Not really unless you’re a mega-whale. Other high Attack Up/high ATK stat memoria can serve you just as well.

Review: “Could Not Throw It Away” is a memoria that power creeps a lot of previous memoria, including limiteds. When it comes to Attack Up at Max Health memos, it’s one of the best. Why is this? Compare it with these following nearly identical memoria:

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Could Not Throw It Away” Attack Up While At Max Health [30%] & Attack Up [25%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “The Sword Which Strikes in the Space Between Light and Dark” Attack Up While At Max Health [25%] & Attack Up [20%]

(4*) “The Happiest Moment in Human Life” Attack Up While At Max Health [25%] & Attack Up [20%]

When max awakened, “Could Not Throw It Away” has an incredible 55% combined Attack Up. Quite frankly that’s insane. It’s almost overkill. It offers more Attack Up and Attack Up While At Max Health than either “The Sword Which Strikes in the Space Between Light and Dark” or “The Happiest Moment in Human Life” and that’s not counting its superior passive ATK stats-- at 2350 ATK, this memoria is a beast.

Hell, just to fully state how broken this memoria is: as a single copy, it has the same amount of Attack Up and Attack Up While at Max Health as a max-awakened copy of its competitors. Good lord. (Please note: a max-awakened copy of either “The Happiest Moment in Human Life” or “The Sword Which Strikes in the Space Between Light and Dark” will be better to use than a single copy of “Could Not Throw It Away” as they will have better passive ATK stats). 

Anyways, this memoria is clearly whale-tier. But where will you use it? And more importantly, do you need it?

Personally, this reviewer feels that every player, including free-to-play ones, should have at least one monster of an Attack Up memoria in their arsenal. This monster memoria should combine high Attack Up with high passive ATK stats, and if possible, a beast of a secondary offensive effect. 

The reason for this is simple: these memoria are great for farming in PVE and in PVP, particularly for casual mirrors. Slapping one of these beasts onto your generic Yozuru, Anime Yachiyo, or Ashley will turn your cute little megucas into monsters who terrorize every little innocent character they find-- well, more than usual at least. It can mean the difference between one-shotting a Sayaka or that wretched tank hanging on with a sliver of a health.

Additionally, this lets you game Supports a little. Many players will sort by highest ATK (when they’re not sorting by highest Event Bonus), and this will provide you an edge of your competitors. 

There are a few free-to-play friendly memoria in the game that a player can use to fill this role-- “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror,” which can be acquired through Ranked Mirrors coins (aka start saving) has 25% Attack Up and 2305 passive ATK stats. Not surprisingly, most of these are going to be limited, however there are a couple that are unlimited as well:

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Could Not Throw It Away” Attack Up While At Max Health [30%] & Attack Up [25%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “She has a Heart" Attack Up While At Max Health [30%] & Blast Damage Up [35%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

(4*) “Don't Call Me Childish” Attack Up [30%] & Damage Cut [15%] & Defense Down [25%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Contradiction of Apology and Punishment” Attack Up [25%] & Damage Up Versus Witches [25%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “The Grin of a Saint” Attack Up [25%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Great Success in the Longed for Land” Attack Up [25%] & Bind on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Miracle Heroines” Attack Up [25%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited Mirrors 4*) “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Skill Seal on Attack [30% / 1 turn]

(4*) “That Light I Thought I Gave Up” Attack Up [25%] & Charm on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(4*) “Kind-Hearted Revolutionary” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Provoke [65%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Real Intentions that were Kept Hidden” Attack Up [20%] & Blast Damage Up [35%]

(4*) “I Made Friends” Attack Up [20%] & Critical Hit [25%]

All of these memoria combine high Attack Up with high ATK passives stats. Almost all of them have 25% Attack Up when Max Awakened, and the few that don’t will have a good secondary effect that still contributes a hefty offensive bonus. 

However, “Could Not Throw It Away” isn’t just good for farming Mirrors or showing off on Supports. It also can assist in Kimochi, surprisingly enough. I witnessed several players in the recent Moving Aquamarine Heel Kimochi battle equip this memoria, as their units were able to stay at Max HP and never worry about losing that precious Attack Up While At Max Health buff. Of course, this won’t be useful in the case of many Kimochi fights-- a Mikage doppel will render most of that Attack Up wasted, since you can’t go above 100%. But in cases where you have lots of Damage Increase/Damage Up but no Attack Up, this memoria will shine.

Outside of that though?

This memoria is nice, and it’s a monster, but it’s overkill. 

“The Happiest Moment in Human Life” will serve most players perfectly well. You can easily get by without having this memoria in your collection. 

That’s not to say you shouldn’t show it off if you managed to get it max-awakened, but you also shouldn’t feel like you’re missing out too much if you didn’t. It’s a great memoria, but it’s truly whale-tier: something for whales to despair and crunch numbers over while you can play perfectly fine without it.

The Brilliance of Gathered Feelings

Obtainability: This is a promotional memoria that is exclusive to redeeming the code inside the Magia Record TV Anime Official Guidebook Volume 2.

MLB Effect: Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Defense Up increases the target’s base defense stats. Defense Up is generally worse than Damage Cut.

TLDR: “The Brilliance of Gathered Feelings” is a good offensive memoria but it’s not a must-have-- you shouldn’t feel the need to purchase the book to get this memoria. Additionally, there is another memoria in the game that has the exact same effects.

Review: This review is going to be rather short. This is partially because “The Brilliance of Gathered Feelings” is a carbon copy of another memoria already in the game:

(4*) “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

Both memoria have the exact same effects. If you want more information on how good the memoria is and what it will be useful for, I suggest checking out the review for “Everyday Overflowing with Pride.”

However, there is a difference in the two memoria: “The Brilliance of Gathered Feelings” comes max-awakened and it has better ATK stats when fully leveled (55 more ATK to be precise). 

Despite this, it’s not anything special. In fact, there are multiple memoria in the game that have 25% Attack Up with higher ATK stats-- for example:

(Limited Gacha 4*) “The Grin of a Saint” Attack Up [25%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Great Success in the Longed for Land” Attack Up [25%] & Bind on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Miracle Heroines” Attack Up [25%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited Mirrors 4*) “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Skill Seal on Attack [30% / 1 turn]

(4*) “Reaching Out Towards Our Goal” Attack Up [25%] & Fog on Attack [20%] (3 Turns)  

(4*) “That Light I Thought I Gave Up” Attack Up [25%] & Charm on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(4*) “Kind-Hearted Revolutionary” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Provoke [65%]

Of course, all of these memoria (except for “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror) need multiple copies to become max-awakened and max leveled, but even the most unlucky NA Refugee should have at least one of these, particularly given the recent free Anniversary Rolls. 

However, that’s also not to say that this is a trash memoria. It’s good with good ATK stats and it can go on just about any character at just about any time. If you purchased the Magia Record TV Anime Official Guidebook Volume 2 then it should come as a nice little bonus. It doesn’t mean that the book is a must-have-- this memoria isn’t any more special than what you can already get in the game. Whales and some Dolphins probably won’t get any use out of it, but unlucky Dolphins and some Free-to-Play might find it useful.

For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life

Obtainability: Limited for the “Sayonara Storage” event gacha.

Single Effect: Attack Up [10%] & Defense Pierce [15%]

MLB Effect: Attack Up [15%] & Defense Pierce [20%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Defense Pierce causes the unit to ignore enemy defense on attack. Defense Pierce stacks multiplicatively.

TLDR: “For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life” has the rare effect of Defense Pierce, making it something you possibly might want to keep-- however it’s three-star status, and the fact that there is an identical memoria in the game to it keep it from being a must-have.

Review: There are very few memoria in the game that offer Defense Pierce, making this memoria have an edge despite being a three-star. Your only passive Defense Pierce options are:

(Limited Welfare 3*) “That Stardust Becomes a Miracle” Defense Pierce [20%] & Attack Up [15%]

(2*) “Unlimited Happiness to You” Defense Pierce [20%]

Your only active Defense Pierce options are:

(Limited Gacha 4*) “Reinforcements That Transcend Time” Defense Pierce [50%] & Attack Up [50%] (Self / 1 Turn)

(4*) “Pinch Is a Chance” Defense Pierce [50%] & Critical Hit [70%] (Self / 1 Turn) & Darkness (Self) [100%] & Dazzle [70%] (Self)

(Limited Gacha 3*) “Tonight's Guest Is...” Defense Pierce [40%] & Attack Up [20%] (Self / 1 turn)

Essentially, the only unlimited options for Defense Pierce (for memoria, not including connects or magia) would be a two-star memoria and a questionable four-star one.

So, does that make “For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life” a memoria you need to grab?

Well... not so much. For one, “For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life” is the same as “That Stardust Becomes a Miracle,” except with better ATK stats (1700 ATK versus 1457 ATK). However, the advantage of “That Stardust Becomes a Miracle” is that it came fully max awakened as a freebie event shop memoria, while you will need to either roll for extra copies of “For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life” or use three-star Over Limiters to max-awaken it. If you already have “That Stardust Becomes a Miracle,” you shouldn’t feel the need to roll for “For the First Time, the Rumored Daily Life.”

Additionally, you should also keep in mind that all this memoria offers is a small chance at Defense Pierce. Furthermore, this is a small chance that you can not control. In many cases it will be preferable to use a character’s connect (Momoko, Elisa, Yukika, and Kazumi are all good and popular choices) as that will be a 100% chance and you can choose when it is being used. For example, if you are performing a C>C>B attack, you’ll want the Defense Pierce to work on the blast as opposed to the two charge disks before it.

However, if you were rolling on Mikoto’s gacha anyways and managed to get this memoria, it’s worth keeping around. I’d say it’s worth using an over-limiter core to get this one to max-awakened status, just because that extra 5% (and the better ATK stats) are worth it.

However, again-- characters like Masara Kagami can give Defense Pierce on connect. You shouldn’t feel pressured to keep this memoria or use up Over-Limiters if you’re unsure.
