Coppol vs. Aurynthor is actually a bit more nuanced than just "Undivided trimagician vs. Elemental slayer" because of their stats. Vanilla, Coppol's ATK is 1778, while it's 1978 at +6. Vanilla, AurynThor's ATK is 1855, while it's 2055 at +1, 2255 andf +5 and 2255 + 100 Thunder ATK at +8.

So here's their damage outputs, assuming there are no Thunder ATK ups in your deck: Vanilla | Fully released

Coppol: vs. 1 enemy spirits: 1733 | 1928 vs. 2 enemy spirits: 3467 | 3856 vs. 3 enemy spirits: 5200 | 5784

AurynThor: vs. Water enemy spirits: 3478 | 4415 [4715]

AurynThor also provides +400 ATK to your other thunder spirits (assuming you're running a mono-thunder deck). Against water enemy spirits, this provides you with a minimum extra 300 damage, which is why I've placed 4715 in brackets above. Remember, these +100 thunder ATK can "stack" with Special and Answer Skill that provide damage boosts. If you place AurynThor on a team with Dietrich, for instance, once Dietrich's Special Skill activates, that's an extra 210 damage per turn for Dietrich if you activate both his Answer Skill and Special Skill.

Coppol only ever outdamages AurynThor if you're facing 3 enemy spirits (also, Coppol's multiplier isn't contigent on the element of the enemy spirits). If you're doing a quest where every single enemy formation includes at least 1 water spirit, I'd suggest going with AurynThor over Coppol. You already have Senia for providing on-colour emblems.

When facing Vellet, Coppol will inflict 577 | 649 damage, whereas AurynThor will inflict 463 | 588, which is a negligible difference in damage.
