Christmas Illya has a skill/UB that increases in power when HP is low. It’s difficult to maintain her low HP, but if used well, she’s a character that boasts top-class firepower among magic attackers. Even if you take only one self-harm skill, the damage is over 100,000. It’s a good performance to hit UB regardless of low HP.
HP amount and skill/UB damage amount
Amount of HP | UB | skill 1 | skill 2 |
---|---|---|---|
100% | 1.0 times (45,732) | 1.0 times (13,252) | 1.0 times (8,285) |
about 80% | About 1.25 times (57,240) | About 1.28 times (17,088) | About 1.1 times (9,573) |
about 50% | About 2.0 times (87,000) | About 2.0 times (26,500) | investigating |
about 30% | About 2.2 times (99,240) | About 2.19 times (29,052) | About 1.8 times (15,329) |
Numbers are approximately on the highest level.
Christmas Illya has a self-harm skill, but unlike normal Illya, it takes damage according to the current HP ratio. Since she is not affected by increases in magic attack power, she can be used relatively stably.
Like Shiori’s UB, the magical attack buff attached to Christmas Illya’s UB is a permanent effect that overlaps. The more you hit UB, the more firepower you can raise.
Due to the placement, it is easy to receive area attacks from enemies, and when combined with self-harm damage, it can be said that it is a character that is very easy to fall down. It is necessary to decide whether to organize according to the enemy’s means of attack.
If you try to put together a magic party with Christmas Illya, Illya will inevitably be placed first. Depending on the opponent, it is necessary to add tanks such as Oedo Kuka, so the degree of freedom in the organization tends to be low.
Unlike normal Illya, Christmas Illya does not have a means of recovery. Since HP can only be recovered by absorbing HP, it is necessary to increase the amount of recovery by increasing the amount of recovery or including a supporting character such as a recovery role. If you can get high firepower, you may be able to make up for it by just absorbing HP, but if you want stability, you’ll want to add a healer.
Neneka and Ann’s buffs are important in magic pal, but Illya’s placement is in the vanguard, so the buffs may not reach. With Illya leading and Neneka 4th, we have confirmed that the buff will not reach Illya. If Neneka is in 4th place, Illya won’t receive the buff, but in the formation up to 3rd place, Illya will receive the buff!

Since it has an excellent single-target attack UB, it is an effective attacker against single-boss enemies such as Clan Battle.
Since it is a magic character placed in the vanguard, the situations where it can be used tend to be quite limited. You can expect high firepower, but be aware that it has less versatility than rearguard magic characters such as Kyouka, and is difficult to handle.
