Deep Sea VisitorS
BiSDeep Sea VisitorS1

Ellen's signature and a top pick for any Ice Attack Agent: 24% CRIT Rate and 25% Ice DMG with no conditions, another 10% CRIT Rate for 8 seconds after landing a Basic Attack, and 10% more after an Ice Dash Attack connects.

Myriad EclipseS
AltMyriad EclipseS1

Extremely competitive, often matching or beating Deep Sea Visitor. Its strong DEF Shred lasts 3 seconds after any EX Special, Chain Attack or Ultimate hit, so keeping it up during stuns is easy. CRIT Rate main stat, and while its CRIT DMG can saturate on Ellen, it may even be simpler to run than her own engine.

Cordis GerminaS
AltCordis GerminaS1

Seed's signature brings a huge CRIT Rate main stat, only 5% below Deep Sea Visitor. With DMG% bonuses easily saturated and most of Ellen's damage coming from Basic Attacks and Ultimates, its DEF Shred on those hits gives near-100% uptime with zero management.

Heartstring NocturneS
AltHeartstring NocturneS1

Evelyn's signature is the best generic CRIT stat stick for Attack Agents, packing large CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. CRIT DMG can saturate on Ellen, but the raw numbers keep it firmly in contention.

Steel CushionS
AltSteel CushionS1

Nekomata's signature works adequately thanks to its CRIT Rate main stat and up to 25% DMG Bonus on hits from behind. The bonus depends on the attack's direction, not Ellen's position: her Basic 3 dashes as it starts, so it registers as a frontal hit even after repositioning. In practice it is mostly a CRIT Rate stat stick.
