This next entry highlights the first of the dragons in the ongoing BF emblem series! Duelmex's recent 7* evolution, Elderex takes center stage this week. Way back in the early days of the Global meta, I actually used 6* Duelmex as my lead for a while. The BC buff was still one of the best leader skills at the time and I used the dragon for a bunch of early content. At 7*, Elderex's kit builds on its previous version with a 40% HP and attack boost, boost in BC efficacy, addition of Spark to BB gauge fill, and a flat BB gauge boost each turn. On BB, Edlerex does damage, adds paralysis to attacks, and boosts BC efficacy for 3 turns. The SBB is similar with the same paralysis buff and BC efficacy buff followed by a large boost in damage against status afflicted foes for 3 turns. Given the combination of other unit skills and the OE forms, I'm not sure how relevant Elderex is in the current meta but it might come in handy for players that don't have access to some of the higher tier units.

I ran into some unique challenges with this emblem. Elderex is the first dragon-type unit I've attempted so I couldn't use some of the normal tricks when it came to doing the design. I didn't have a set pose base since its a dragon so I drew a rough primary pose and started working down to the details from there. Looking at Elderex's unit art, the design itself is very busy. This presented a problem when I got to the wings. I decided to render the six wings separate with a different color to make them stand out from the main body. Keeping them the same color would have resulted in a blob of color. The glowing rune thing behind Elderex was pretty easy to draw. Overall, this was a good exercise in final detail and making sure enough of the elements got captured without obscuring the unit's shape.
