Note: Please remember that rotations can always differ based on the boss, the DMG needed and your overall situation. This is only the base rotation, if you want to be sure watch videos of players who know what they're doing.
Also please excuse I cannot feature every possible team, there are way too many.

❤ Conclusion ❤
Is Elysia's divine key a good pull?
♡ DPS potential: Honestly Elysia is more or less alright, even with divine key she's not very strong without high ranks. Her abysses will probably fade away quickly like with other divine keys.
♡ Investment: She really wants SS Serapeum and Vita + Thelema or Lantern to really be strong. However, she herself is really cheap.
♡ Elysia Abyss weathers: Thelema and Lantern both can do most her abysses pretty well and don't fall behind too much.
If you like Elysia there's nothing wrong with getting it, but meta wise she might not be the highest priority for a f2p whose account doesn't have Serapeum and Vita + Thelema/Lantern.
