Since I haven't seen anyone gush about the new personal memoria yet I'll do my part. Kinda funny I made a long post about the mechanic and the devs immediately follow up with a new batch. Yay to that!
Honestly? I think the new ones are even better than the previous ones.
(Credit to the big Discord server for this compilation)
Tumblr media
Rena: A good amount of accele MP gain up + doppel damage up is decent but the real treasure is her newly found permanent MP Regen for 10.5 each turn. The thing about Rena is that she was one of the OG accele gorillas which meant back in the day she was one of the best girls to build and cycle magia on. Nowadays she is still somewhat fine (good single target DPS but her lack of automatic MP recovery outside of the magia itself and lack of attribute strengthened damage leave her outclassed). But having to rely on purely discs to build magia is not really the way to go anymore (mind you she is an attack type so her percentage for mp gained from accele discs is at 100% instead of the 120% for magia units). So while it will not make her top tier all of the sudden having more self sufficient magia cycling can help her keep up in non optimized teams.
Momoko: Permanent charge conservation might be huge and that's for us to find out. I think she has the potential to be an amazing DPS for teams that don't really have access to charge conservation and don't usually roll for her charge strats (le me for example I'd rather not charge but oh well). Always having permanent ignore defense should make her an even bigger mirrors threat. Good for you Momoko.
Kaede: Kaede is a decent all rounder and the go to forest unit for early and f2p players since she can blast quite well and has some serious damage output on her magia. Not to mention she can solo a Kimochi so you go girl. What her memoria does is essentially an attribute strengthened doppel nuke (three massive damage modifiers for one turn) which should help her Kimochi performance quite a bit. While she does not have an MP recovery, her magia increases accele MP gain up which helps her cycle magia with her own accele discs (ergo solo Kimochi strat). But her lack of ways to buff her DPS is notable especially nowadays so having a nuclear turn should boost the damage scores. Not to mention that even though this is an active memoria it gives 1500 Attack instead of any defense so even more damage.
Nanaka: Blast MP is a MUST on every modern girl and I think the trend started with Ashley? Anyway most of the early blasters, even 4* ones like Kyoko or Holy Alina don't have it (not even when SE started coming out). So good for Nanaka she gets to enjoy a mechanic they should have gotten all along.
Blast, the former king of NA, has little to no place in modern Magia Record. Aside from charge blast strats that is (which dedicated magia strats can bypass with the right setup).
I don't think Nanaka is gonna reclaim her NA glory but it's nice to know that in long fights she can reliably get to magia (it's attack + dew down and buff cleanse so quite utility oriented. Kinda funny because it's Hazukis Magia but with buff cleanse instead of curse). Also 30% aqua attack up is nice. Nanakas biggest issue is her SE which is all over the place but that's a discussion for another day.
Kako: I think her personal might be the same as Natsukis so Accele MP gain up + Defense up + Permanent MP Regen. Its good, Kako is a decent unit for low rarity teams because of her accele draw and strong healing. So having her be better at gaining MP makes her even more reliable. Even though her memoria is a passive one it gives defense so choosing this memoria will hurt her DPS (but with some buffing from teammates her doppel can still delete an enemy)
Meiyui: Honestly most low rarity charge units suck. So does Meiyui who does so many random things. But now she gets to have a boost to her charge combo count up (it should be +4 now) and together with her charge draw personal she can potentially be a decent unit when you want to go into charge strats and don't own fully slotted and/or dedicated units. The rest of her buffs are alright I guess but not worth talking about.
Konomi: Oh boy our girl Konomi got a funny one. Her memoria will give her a 100 MP for the next turn and also a nice three turn defense boost. Fast MP and fast magias are always nice. You know what's even better? She has Fast Mana in her SE which means her mp is partially full at battle start. Throw in an accele combo with maybe one disc of hers or some MP recovery by other means and you potentially got a turn two doppel. Now her doppel is weird with it's damage in a horizontal line mechanic but considering it's Konomi you don't play her for damage.
Her effects are nice tho. A good teamwide heal, massive defense buffs for five turns, Accele MP gain up for all and mp regen for herself (doppel only, we love mp self sufficient units). So if you run into any situation where you know you will need a good heal or big defense buff your next turn just slot Konomi and proc her new memoria for basically a free doppel.
I think none of those units will suddenly become meta threats aside from maybe Momoko in mirrors and Kaede who already acts as a solo Kimochi threat but it gives players who WANT to use those units some more ease to slot them and use them.

Amidst the current Yuu hype (which is only natural considering we´ve been teased for like 4 years now) I want to return to a new mechanic that was released not too long ago: Brand new personal memoria given to us in the Alinas Atelier event.
You´ve probably seen them around before: Ren can burn her HP down to 20% and gain enough MP for an instant Magia, Shizuku carries 50% chance to crit and Natsuki gets permanent MP regen and so on.
Now this opens up a lot of opportunites for older units to gain new power (that and the possibility to go beyond 100 SE). As I was thinking about which units could be next for this treatment I started thinking about possibly the most deserving squad there is: Mikazuki villa.
Aside from maybe Yachiyo who is a beginner friendly mirrors unit they serve very little to no purpose beyond very early play. (For example Tsurunos magia spam evade cheese is outdone by Oriko). So I think those girlies should get the next set of powerful memoria.
Before I get into my ideas of new tools for them girlies I want to talk about Iroha first. Iroha was promoted to a faction leader in arc 2 and all of the faction leaders have aura buffs which provide them and their teammates passive buffs for up to 5 turns. (e.g. Himena providing aqua attack up or Rabi providing damage up and damage cut etc.). Iroha as we all know does not carry an aura buff (the only non 4* unit to actually carry said buffs is Mayabu with damage cut to all).
So I think her new personal memoria should actually be an aura buff for the entire team that works similiar to the SE nodes from other leaders. I was thinking about something like Ailment res up + MP/HP Regen to all as nod to her protective and inspiring personality (plus having a unit provide passive mp to her team will give Iroha some usage for people with limited or no mp batteries). Now as far as the other girls I´m not sure if they should get selfish effects or be given aura buffs too in an attempt to breath some life into them.
Tsuruno could play into the luck idea. She could give her team something like attack/damage up or damage increase while also giving them chances (like chance to crit or to evade, maybe some anti-evade) for some fun rng. Otherwise I could see her pull up with attack up at full HP and a generous chance to evade similiar to Vampire Nagisa and Chisato.
As for Felicia I could see her gaining a generous amount of damage against witches up since she used to get super focused on witches and going on rampages. Other than that I have no clue what to give her so hit me up with any ideas.
Idk what to with Sana. Should we repeat the Sasara treatment and give her access to a turn of taunt and endor adept (MP when hit)? Honestly I´m just gonna skip this one tho it would be funny if she got some super agressive memoria in homage to her doppel.
Yachiyo is super basic but whether selfish or team wide - give her blast MP. Actually her granting blast mp to her teammates would be funny since all of Mikazuki villa have at least two blast discs. But that would be lowkey busted since it would also stack with pre-existing blast mp.
So yeah that was my unstructed ramble rant about the potential of the new personal memoria for our beloved Mikazuki Squad.
Also please give Hazuki and Ryo permanent MP regen too thankz bye

I think the biggest winners are Natsuki and Ren. Natsuki finally gets the passive mp regen she needs as a support with only one accele disc. It's a bit unfortunate that the memoria doesn't give any attack stats but you don't bring her to deal damage and she kinda buff the disadvantage away.
It's also neat that Ren gets to reliably use her niche magia (I think it works similar to New Year's Asukas SE active but not quite the same)

Holy fuck-a-roni, these new memoria are kind of insanely good
I don't know if it means you'd always choose to use one of these girls over someone like, say, Historia Yachiyo, but still. These are really nice memoria for them.
I like that it's a buff for the units without resorting to stuff like Spirit Enhancement or Attribute Enhancement.
Ren's is pretty decent and even if you don't want to use the active-- note that it gives ATK instead of DEF. If your Ren has three slots, throw this on and she gets another bonus 2k ATK for absolute free. God damn.
I like this.

I feel like every character in this story has at least one crazy fan willing to go to bat for them.
Kuroe? Yeah.
Moka? Believe it or not, yes.
Sakuya? Uh huh.
Shigure? Yup.
Ryo? My friends and I got actual hate messages when Ryo died because a fan was so distraught and angry over it.
Even the worst and most badly written characters of all Mifuyu have devoted fans.
Fucking npc characters have fans. Even ones without proper names. Who show up for the grand total of one event.
Aimi has a die-hard fan. Konomi has a die-hard fan. Kirika??? Believe it or not, that character with the wholly encompassing depth of a puddle has a die-hard fan. Little Kyubey has a die-hard fan. Tsukasa has a die-hard fan.
Is there a character in this series that doesn't have a fan rabidly frothing at the mouth to defend them? I'm not so sure.

📢📢📢Costumes for Konoha and Hazuki JFC they got released in 2017 why the fluff are there no costumes for them
You can make one change to the game. What would it be?
It can be any change you want-- gameplay, story, aesthetic, character design. Literally anything.

Inspired by a current discord discussion I would like to say:
People, even in this fandom, want more complex female characters and could not even handle Mifuyu.
How did people even survive the complexity of Homura's character if the sheep lady was too much.
Justice for Mifuyu - also new Mifuyu alt that does not make her a support please.

I know Kimochi has been going on for a bit now but in case your team lacks some more active MP Gain Up memoria you should head to the SP Shop and grab this event memoria from Ui´s release.
Tumblr media
Attack Up [V / 25%] & MP Gain Up [II / 7.5%] (Self / 3 Turns)
The amount of MP Gain Up isn´t groundbreaking but it lasts for three turns and has some good attack buff alongside it.
We also have this 3* memoria that provides 10% MP Gain Up for three turns. So this one might be worth picking up in the SP shop too!

I love the Rayshift patch and the translators very much for all their hard work but playing the game when new content drops before the server is updated is always hilarious af.
Like is this how Sana looks to normal folks?

My suggestion:
Units and memoria that provide taunt or guardian are also Banned
I have decided on new rules for Ranked Mirrors:
Devil Homura is now BANNED
Anime Yachiyo is BANNED
Madokami is BANNED
Kimochi Lavi is BANNED
Chisato (LycoReco) is BANNED
Takina is BANNED
All those other ones I see too much of but I can't remember who they are at the moment are also BANNED
these changes will take place immediately please and thank you

Time to celebrate the end of the nightmare that is whale city - I mean ranked Mirrors.
But to be fair I was A tier for a day only to get too confident and lose to Akuma taunt strats too often to stay A.

Well those are some very pleasant news!
Seikas uncap seems fine although it seems they have doubled down on her having specific damage debuffs instead of damage and attack down. She now provided blast and magia damage down on magia.
Leila pulls up with charge combo count up +2 to all units, new effect on her doppel. She also gets mp regen to self so she might finally see some proper use
And YAY! The long awaited apartment trio unit and event is coming soon!

Her pose was giving this "the f is this" energy so I made a shabby edit. Enjoy this low quality reaction image

After seeing the Oriko event liveblog (you go Muffin you deserved this event💯) I have come to the conclusion that Orikos personal magic is basically just magical overthinking.
I will not elaborate

After finally getting around to reading Sayona Storage I have to say: It's now one of my favorite events in terms of story and character development, especially on Hanna's part.
Without going into spoilers too much, it was actually really twisted to experience her inner monologue during the climax of Flowers Lament where she wanted to be wrong about the world so badly and how she regrets her decisions.
On this blog we support women's rights and women's wrongs

Only put girls who don't have alternate stuff to wear in here (only including costumes, not variants/alts/dual units). Also only included MagiReco originals, so no spinoff girls.
