Anime Adventures Elyssia in our tier list
S On paper Elyssia earns S. Players report up to 3 Abyssal Jellies that copy its damage, explode over an area, reach flying enemies and take the Zombie buff, and the evolution adds Abyssal Eels on top. See the full Anime Adventures Tier List.
Anime Adventures Elyssia strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- One unit covers mixed waves: in showcase videos its jellies hit ground and flying enemies alike and burst over an area.
- Creators testing it found the jellies copy its damage, so every trait and buff placed on Elyssia rides along with up to 3 summons.
- The evolution needs no event item: the creator videos we compared list only Star Fruit and takedowns, so it does not hinge on Summer event stock.
Weaknesses
- It leaves a hole on Soaring waves. In showcase videos the jellies never reach Soaring enemies, so a Hill unit has to cover them.
- It was a regular row at 0.652% of the Mythic rate on November 3, 2026, so pulling for it without the compass is a long shot.
- Only one copy gets the top trait: it has 2 placements in the creator videos we compared, and Unique allows Max 1 placed.
Our take
- On paper, Elyssia is where most players should point a Celestial Compass. It sat in a regular row at 0.652% on November 3, 2026, the Featured pity does not steer toward it, and one source reports it cannot be traded.
- On paper, the trap is fielding Elyssia alone. Its jellies miss Soaring enemies, so lock in a Hill unit and get Zombie beside it before you spend Star Fruit from Challenges on the Abyssal evolution.
How to get Elyssia
Elyssia comes from the Special banner, at 50 Gems a summon. It is the same unit some players search for as Elysia; the game spells it with a double s. It was not featured at capture time on November 3, 2026: the three featured Mythics were Thunder Maid, Zombie and Bloodcry, and Elyssia sat lower down in the regular Mythic rows.
Mythics as a whole had a 0.5% rate, shown as a 2x Mythic rate up. Inside that slice, Zombie took 50% and Bloodcry (Featured) took 10%, while Elyssia held 0.652%. The Featured (Middle) pity is 400 summons and points at the featured middle slot, so pity alone will not hand you Elyssia while it stays in a regular row. The banner rotates, so check the panel before you spend.
One source reports Elyssia is not a limited unit, which also means it cannot be traded; summoning is the only route. Any unit on the Special banner has a 1% chance to be Shiny, Elyssia included.
Should you use the Celestial Compass on Elyssia?
Yes, by our reading of the banner, if you have one. On November 3, 2026, the Special banner showed a compass slot beside the featured units that read No compass set. Creator videos agree on the basics: the Celestial Compass comes from a redeem code, it lets you choose any Mythic for the Special banner, Elyssia included, and it is used up once the unit you picked comes out. All four of those creators spend it on Elyssia.
Our reasoning lines up with theirs. A compass is a one-shot item, so it should go to the Mythic that is hardest to land by normal pulling. Zombie had a 50% share and the Featured pity behind it on November 3. Elyssia had 0.652% and no pity pointing at it.
What we have not confirmed. Creators disagree on how the pick resolves. Some describe the chosen unit as simply your next Mythic. Others say it only arrives on the summon where the Featured pity would land. They also split on whether you should save Gems before setting the compass. We will settle this once we capture the compass screen in game. Until then, treat any timing advice as unconfirmed.
What Elyssia does
What Elyssia reaches
- Ground enemies Available Elyssia does not attack directly: it summons up to 3 Abyssal Jellies that travel down the path and explode for full AoE damage equal to its own
- Flying enemies Available Its jellies hit flying enemies
- Soaring enemies Not available Elyssia cannot hit Soaring enemies, so it needs a Hill unit beside it
The chart at the top of this section sums up its reach: ground and flying yes, Soaring no. Across the creator showcases we watched, Elyssia does not attack on its own. Instead it summons up to 3 Abyssal Jellies that travel down the path and explode, each blast dealing full area damage equal to Elyssia’s own. It deals Magic damage with the water element and has 2 placements.
Because the jellies copy Elyssia’s damage, a trait or buff on Elyssia is carried into every blast. The weak spot is Soaring enemies, which the jellies cannot hit in those same showcases, so a Hill unit has to sit beside it on those stages.
A single creator reports UPD 21 fixed a bug that let players stack extra Elyssia summons, calling it a fix rather than a nerf. It sits in S on our anime adventures tier list for the kit as it stands after that fix.
Elyssia (Abyssal) evolution
Elyssia and Elyssia (Abyssal)
The chart at the top of this section compares the two forms. Two sources name the evolved form Elyssia (Abyssal); one of them was recorded just before UPD 21 went live. The jellies stay. After 5 takedowns, Elyssia (Abyssal) also summons Abyssal Eels, up to 3 at once, and each eel lasts a minute.
Two creators also list Star Fruit and takedowns as the cost, with no event item, and say Star Fruit drops from Challenges, which the lobby Areas menu lists as its own area.
The eels are summons too, so by our read a Zombie on the field should lift them the same way it lifts the jellies. Farm Star Fruit while you build the team around it.
Best team for Elyssia
Zombie is the partner every creator we compared builds around, because the Zombie buff reaches Elyssia’s summons. Zombie was also the easier pull on November 3, 2026, with a 50% share of the Special banner Mythic rate.
Water Goddess is the second boost players report. It is one of the three Featured Mythics on the Summer banner, each at one third of a 0.25% Mythic rate. Chuuni is the third option: its marks raise the magic damage enemies take, and Elyssia deals Magic damage.
Fill the last slots with a Hill unit for Soaring waves. Our read: a lineup of Elyssia, Zombie, one of the two boosters and a Hill unit covers ground, flying and Soaring enemies. Our anime adventures units page lists the other options we rank.
Best traits for Elyssia
Two creators who tested traits on it rank Unique first, because its summons copy its damage. On the Trait Chances screen captured November 3, 2026, Unique reads +300% Damage, +10% Range, -10% Cooldown and Max 1 placed, at a 0.1% chance per reroll.
Elyssia has 2 placements, so only one copy can carry Unique. Our read for the second copy is Divine, since it adds damage, range and cooldown at once and does not depend on which stat drives the jellies. Golden is the simpler damage pick, and Reaper adds extra damage to Bosses.
Rerolling replaces the unit’s current traits, and the reroll panel shows no lock. Stop the moment Unique lands. Our anime adventures traits page lists all 18 traits with their odds.
What to pair with Anime Adventures Elyssia
- Zombie: Creators name Zombie its best partner, because the Zombie buff reaches the summons Elyssia sends down the path.
- Water Goddess: Creators report Water Goddess boosts Elyssia; it is also one of the three Featured Mythics on the Summer banner.
- Chuuni: Creators found Chuuni marks raise the magic damage enemies take, and Elyssia deals Magic damage.
- Any Hill unit: In showcase videos Elyssia cannot hit Soaring enemies, so a Hill unit placed beside it handles those waves.
Anime Adventures Elyssia FAQ
Is Elyssia good in Anime Adventures?
Yes. It sits in S on our list. Creators testing it found it summons up to 3 Abyssal Jellies that copy its damage and explode over an area, hit flying enemies and take the Zombie buff. Its blind spot is Soaring enemies, which stay out of its reach.
Should I use the Celestial Compass on Elyssia in Anime Adventures?
Yes, in our view. The creator videos we compared say the compass lets you pick any Mythic for the Special banner and is used up once that unit comes out, and all four of them spend it on Elyssia. Elyssia was a 0.652% regular row on November 3, 2026, so the compass helps most there.
How do you get Elyssia in Anime Adventures?
Pull for it with Gems, 50 per try, on the Special banner. On November 3, 2026 it was a regular Mythic row at 0.652% of the Mythic rate, not a featured unit. One source reports it is not limited, so it cannot be traded and has to be pulled.
How do you evolve Elyssia into Elyssia (Abyssal)?
Two creators list Star Fruit and takedowns, with no event item, and Star Fruit drops from Challenges. After 5 takedowns, Elyssia (Abyssal) adds Abyssal Eels, up to 3 at once, each lasting a minute.
What is the best trait for Elyssia in Anime Adventures?
Unique, say the two creators who tested traits on it, because its summons copy its damage. Unique allows Max 1 placed, so the second of its 2 placements needs something else; we would pick Divine, then Golden or Reaper.
Can Elyssia hit flying and Soaring enemies?
In showcase videos the jellies hit flying enemies but never Soaring ones. Place a Hill unit next to Elyssia on stages with Soaring waves, or those enemies walk past it.
Was Elyssia nerfed in UPD 21?
No: one source reports UPD 21 fixed a bug that let players stack extra Elyssia summons and treats that as a fix, not a nerf. The normal kit of up to 3 jellies is unchanged by that report.
