Elise for PVE
Elise is a useful character for PVE, but she is mainly played for her Lovely Lady costume. Lovely Lady reduces DEF and M.RES in a skip-targeting plus shape AOE, which is often very helpful in PVE against high DEF/high M.RES mobs.
Code Name O, on the other hand, has no useful niche at the moment. Her skill only hits 2 tiles, so she is not good for clearing mobs like Liatris or Loen.
Her skill damage seems quite high (1000% at +5 full potential), but it's actually held back by the fact that Elise has very low offensive stats: Elise's base ATK is only 275, which is much lower than Liatris (352) or Eris (374). As a result, Elise is not that great as an attacker. There are much better fire type options with better damage and AOE.
CNO.Elise's only unique feature is the fact that she has no cooldown and charges SP. At +3 and above (no potential), she charges 1 SP each time her skill is used. This isn't very impressive, because it's the same SP charge you would get from just doing a normal attack. Once potential is unlocked, she charges 2 SP each time her skill is used. This is better, but still nowhere near as good as FS.Olstein or NB.Eclipse, who can both fully recharge your SP bar with a single attack.
No cooldown is nice, but it's not all that special when there are plenty of other fire characters who have enough costumes to cycle between their skills with no downtime. There aren't really any game modes at the moment where you would benefit from Elise's slow and steady SP recharge. This means that CNO.Elise's utility in PVE is pretty low right now, other than to act as a filler while LL.Elise is on cooldown.
Elise for PVP
CNO.Elise is better than average for PVP, but far from matching the top tier units.
Since she only costs 2 SP, she's a fairly good opener. Her skip targeting is good at reaching enemies hiding in the back row. Since the balance changes in late 2024, CNO's damage multiplier has greatly improved, and she now has good odds of taking out low DEF enemies. This is especially true if you are using a buffer like Liberta.
Elise also has reasonably good HP (2877), which means she can sometimes tank a hit or two.
However, there are better options than Elise for the 2 SP slot. For example, Justia and DC.Glacia both deal fixed damage, DW.Eclipse drains SP, and QOP.Michaela/AA.Michaela have much better range.
Therefore, even though CNO.Elise is a solid unit for PVP (and does very well in lower rank PVP), there are better choices out there.
Conclusion
Code Name Onyx Elise is full of charm, but not all that great in terms of her combat power. Having a copy is necessary to unlock her fated guest interaction in Glupy Diner, but otherwise you won't use her very often in combat.
