So, I started hearing whispers about this thing, the ‘lumidouce elegy’. Just chatter here and there, you know how it is. Sounded kinda neat, maybe something that could help out a couple of the characters I’ve been messing with.
I was fiddling with my team lineup the other day, felt like I hit a wall, needed a bit more punch. Especially when I was running my fire dude alongside my plant character. Things were okay, but not great. Then I saw some folks saying this elegy thing was decent specifically when you cause that ‘Burn’ reaction. Seemed tailor-made, right? So I thought, alright, let’s see if I can track this thing down.
Getting My Hands On It
Man, finding it wasn’t exactly straightforward. Took a bit of doing. Had to grind through some domains, do my usual wishing sessions… you know the drill. Spent a good few evenings just focused on trying to get this specific item to drop. Honestly, got a bit frustrating at times, felt like I was chasing my tail. But then, one night, boom! It finally showed up. Felt pretty satisfying, finally holding it after all that effort.
Trying It Out
First thing, I equipped it. Gave it to my main Pyro guy, the one I use most for setting things ablaze. Looks pretty cool, gotta admit. Just visually, it’s nice.
Then I went out into the world, found some easy targets to whack. Just wanted to get a feel for it.
- Right off the bat, noticed a bit of a bump in my regular attack numbers. That passive stuff, I guess. Always welcome.
- Then came the real test. Got my Dendro character to apply their element, swapped quick to Pyro, and lit ’em up. Triggered the Burn reaction.
- Okay, now this was interesting. The damage definitely seemed higher when things were burning. Or maybe the hits came faster? It’s hard to be exact with all the numbers flying everywhere on screen, but it felt stronger during that burn phase.
- Also heard it’s supposed to help get your energy back faster for your big ultimate move. Maybe? I kinda felt like I was able to use my burst a little more often, but it wasn’t a huge, obvious difference. Could have just been luck or me paying closer attention.
- Tried swapping it to another character later, one who’s more about shields. Didn’t seem to do much for them. Feels like you really gotta lean into that Pyro/Dendro burning strategy to make this weapon sing.
You know, it’s funny. Focusing so hard on getting this one piece of gear reminded me of something else entirely. Last year, I got really into trying to fix this old radio I found in the attic. Spent weeks ordering tiny parts, watching videos, soldering little wires. Drove myself nuts trying to get it working perfectly. Finally got some sound out of it, crackly but there. Was it worth all that time for a dodgy AM signal? Maybe not. But the process, the figuring it out, that was the real kicker. It’s kinda the same with this game stuff. Tinkering, testing, the little eureka moments – that’s where the fun is, more than just having the ‘best’ stuff.
So, the lumidouce elegy. Yeah, it’s decent. If you like setting enemies on fire with Pyro and Dendro working together, it’s pretty good. It adds a nice little kick. Not gonna change your life if you don’t run those kinds of teams, though. Took some practice to get the timing right for the effect. But hey, it was a fun little project for a while. Kept me busy.
