Costume Guide – Beach Vacation Eclipse



Exclusive Weapon
Base stats (Lv 100) Max stats (after engraving and awakening)

As a seasoned Brown Dust player with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Eclipse is truly a force to be reckoned with, especially in the dark attacker realm. Her costumes – Dimension Witch, Nightmare Bunny, and the newly introduced Beach Vacation – are nothing short of impressive.


Official Patch Notes

Overview

Massive, definitely one of the biggest… in terms of damage, of course.

3 SP (after potential upgrade) is a great cost for a wide AOE 3×3 attack.

Eclipse excels as an outstanding magic attacker and top dark-type attacker, and this new costume suits Eclipse’s existing lineup nicely.

Very long cooldown (11 turns)

Eclipse’s best costume, Nightmare Bunny, is limited

In PVE scenarios, her exceptional damage multiplier is counterbalanced because Eclipse possesses below-average base damage, and her unique weapon functions as a critical hit accessory rather than enhancing critical hit damage.

Eclipse for PVE

Eclipse stands as one of the top choices for dark attackers. With her powerful outfits, Dimension Witch and Nightmare Bunny, she’s already formidable. If you’ve got a robust Eclipse character, it only makes sense to enhance her abilities with the Beach Vacation costume.

There are two good reasons to get Beach Vacation (and I’m not talking about the art!).

Initially, a Beach Vacation fits perfectly into Eclipse’s costume rotation, providing a suitable option for the vacant slot in Turn 7, as demonstrated below:

Turn 1: DW > Turn 3: NB > Turn 5: DW > Turn 7: BV > Turn 9: DW > Turn 11: NB > Turn 13: DW

In fiend hunts, this proves especially helpful because it significantly boosts your score when you use it to fill the blank space during your turn.

In summary, Beach Vacation has become the most powerful dark magic attack in the game, with a massive 900% damage boost when fully upgraded. Although Nartas has the potential to deal more damage, he is quite specialized, being effective only against physical type enemies. As a result, not many players are currently investing in him. It’s worth noting that Eleaneer’s attacks are also potent, but she serves a different role as a frontline physical attacker and has a smaller area of effect compared to Beach Vacation.

Regardless of her high potential for dealing damage, Eclipse’s progress is hindered by a comparatively lower M.ATK value. Her initial M.ATK stands at just 308, which is significantly less than Dalvi (352), Venaka (363), and Schera (385). Additionally, her unique equipment isn’t optimized for PVE scenarios, as you would typically inflict more damage using a Venomous Touch (C.DMG / C.DMG) rather than her exclusive gear.

Eclipse for PVP

Eclipse excels in Player versus Player (PVP) battles. It’s not expected that Beach Vacation will take the place of Nightmare Bunny or Dimension Witch as an opening costume for Eclipse, given that Nightmare Bunny reduces Magic Resistance and drains Special Points, while Dimension Witch has a lower cost and also drains Special Points. However, Beach Vacation functions exceptionally well when used as the second or third costume for Eclipse, ensuring that Eclipse doesn’t have any breaks in her costume rotation on your third or fourth turn.

Utilizing its immense damage and area-of-effect (AOE), Beach Vacation usually results in an immediate defeat when it attacks after Nightmare Bunny has reduced its Magic Resistance (M.RES).

As a devoted fan, I can confidently say that the harmonious blend of Beach Vacation with other top-tier Eclipse outfits earns it an S-tier ranking for PVP combat. Nevertheless, when standing alone, Beach Vacation still offers decent utility in PVP, but it’s not quite as spectacular as it is when partnered with the rest of Eclipse’s costumes.

Conclusion

If you’ve got Nightmare Bunny and Dimension Witch Eclipse, it’s quite logical to round out your character’s collection by adding the Beach Vacation costume. This is especially useful for battles against fiends and Player vs Player (PVP) scenarios.

Before diving into purchasing Eclipse’s outfits, remember that the Nightmare Bunny is a limited edition costume, and it might not reappear until early 2025 or possibly even later. While Beach Vacation is an excellent outfit by itself, understand that to unleash Eclipse’s full potential in fiend hunts and PVP, you’ll need all three of her costumes.
