Lily Animus Spotlight

Lily is a game-defining unit who redefines what it means to be a support DPS. She blends turn manipulation, cooldown control, and strike prep boosts into one hyper-efficient package. Whether you want to empower your cleave comp, reset allies’ big nukes, or simply outpace your enemy’s team, Lily delivers. She’s arguably one of the strongest and most versatile characters in Etheria right now.
In this Article, we are going to be breaking down the best ways to utilize Lilith, and how to gear her for the best possible results.

Skill 1 – Hat Trick

Deals 240% damage to one enemy and has a 50% chance to increase strike prep by 20% for both Lily and the ally with the lowest strike prep.

• If the ally has Twin Trick, they will always assist with their basic attack.
• This is a potent engine for enabling rotations and triggering passive effects, especially for support or debuff units.

Skill 2 – Shadow Trick

Applies Twin Trick to an ally and gives the whole team Speed Up (30%) for two turns.

• If the target already has Twin Trick, it grants Crit Damage Up (50%) for three turns and gives Lily a bonus turn.
• This skill lets Lily shift from setup into burst mode fast—buffing allies and cycling her own turns rapidly.

Skill 3 – Dream Trick

Deals 260% AOE damage, has a 65% chance to extend enemy cooldowns by 1 turn, and resets all skill cooldowns of allies with Twin Trick.

• This is an insane tempo tool: disrupts the enemy’s abilities while giving your DPS another round of nukes.
• Skill cooldown cannot be reduced, but with enough speed and Twin Trick cycling, that rarely matters.

Twin Trick Passive

• Grants 40% strike prep whenever Lily acts.
• Can only be applied to one ally at a time and disappears when Lily is defeated.
• The real value lies in pairing this with allies who benefit from fast cycling or assist triggers.

Priority Order: Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1

Skill 3 – Dream Trick

• • Boosts AOE damage and increases cooldown extension chance to 65%.
  • Final node resets cooldowns on Twin Trick allies – her most impactful ability.

Skill 2 – Shadow Trick

• • Boosts strike prep sharing (up to 40%) and crit damage duration.
  • Reduces cooldown by 1 turn, enabling more frequent Twin Trick rotations.

Skill 1 – Hat Trick

• • Improves strike prep and raises assist chance to 100%.
  • Solid investment if you’re using basic assist synergy often.

Early Game Module Sets:

• Swift Rush (Best-in-slot): +35% Speed – essential from early to endgame.
• Strive: +10% Defense, gain 10% strike prep after being attacked.

Mid-to-Late Game Sets:

• Swift Raid (late game): +15% Speed and +20% Attack – great for damage-support hybrid.
• Bramble: +10% DEF, 25% chance to counter – good if you want frequent S1 procs.

Lily’s kit rewards frequent turns. These sets allow us to constantly give our team strike prep and enhance her control uptime.

Early Game:

• Speed is the absolute priority.
• Crit Rate / Crit Damage / Attack% (especially if you’re building her as hybrid damage support).

Mid to Late Game:

• Speed is the absolute priority.
• Crit Rate (maintain ~70%) → Crit Damage → Effect Accuracy  ➤ Once gear stabilizes, shift into scaling up her burst and utility. Accuracy becomes more important for cooldown extension in PvP.

Early Game Shells:

• Unbridled Science – for strike prep boost after action.
• Star – Cooldown reduction support.
• Black Flag – Bonus turn enabling when enemies act.

Mid-to-Late Game Shells:

• Gigabyte – Turn boost on enemy actions.
• Codex of Magic – One of the best picks for rotating Lily’s cooldowns even faster.

These shells ensure Lily gets turns quickly and keeps her control online.

Pros

• Elite turn and cooldown manipulation.
• Resets allies’ skills while extending enemy cooldowns.
• AOE support & damage hybrid that works in both cleave and sustain comps.
• Twin Trick assist synergy can dramatically amplify another unit’s value.
• Very fast, flexible, and hard to counter outside of pre-ban scenarios.

Cons

• Her biggest “weakness” is the Lily mirror match – whoever goes first often wins.
• Reliant on speed tuning and Twin Trick setup for maximum value.
• Needs to survive to maintain Twin Trick – she’s a high-value target in PvP.
