To answer your question first, that's arguably the best use you can get out of your SSR bricks. The only question is whether you actually use that element by then and to what effect. If you still didn't touch that element by then... well there's always the option of going for your hime release weapons. Sol's gun for example, has a pretty rad 4LB.

... and now here's my question. How practical is it to save up 15 eyes for a weapon so you can LB them with the tower reward bricks in the future?

Sol's gun was my very next choice, but my Thunder team is definitely my strongest element and that SSR axe seems to have high stats.

While light has my very best Hime, Thunder has all my weapons and Eidolon.

Thunder axe will get Exceed and has very good stats. Sol Gun on the other hand gets Ascension (which you can get plenty of from UE staff) and has rather mediocre stats. Thunder axe might be a decent choice, Sol gun would be a complete waste imo.

Until you can LMB it, don't.

If you can LMB it, go ahead.

Does that mean saving 3 bricks and the mats for the weapon, or does that mean getting 3 more of the same weapon?

I'd say it would mean 3 bricks. Which seems like a self-defeating argument if you're definitely using them on a specific weapon.

Im definitely not farming 450 weeks of shards to MLB this weapon. Especially since eyes have much better uses.

The other way to interpret is until you find the materials for the 4th LB. In that case...

List of mats:
5 orichalcum (GO drops)
20 wind regalia
20 wind fangs
30 tier 4 stars
15 silver books
10 gold books

Not way too demanding. I think. By the time you get enough bricks from the tower you should have gathered enough mats to 4LB like 3 dragon eye weapons. If you actually have 3 3LB dragon eye weapons that is lol. The irony

That seems to counter conventional wisdom as far as I'm aware.

Event SSR weapons are in a sense, renewable. At least, the advent and the union ones. Raid ones are obtainable by orichalcum, but they don't even have 4LB so their worth is debatable. Then, we add the fact that they generally have lower stats than gacha/ dragon eye weapons. Why would one spend bricks on those?

... Unless I'm misinterpreting (I'm particularly bad with pronouns lol), as I believe I did Slashley's.

It's more like 150 weeks since every event gives you 2 Shards now. Also, if you're in a good Union, then you're going to get like 10+ extra Shards per month from UE, taking total time required down to... 7 months or so? And finally, in theory you can get a brick from Tower events, but realistically you won't until the second one (if I've understood how shit works right).

But yes, obviously the FLB stuff for Hime/Dragon Eye weapons are meant for massive whales only. The tiny trickle of "ooo free shiny is cool isn't it!!!!1" is utterly pathetic.

There are?

Well, Awakenings, I guess. But since our Shard income is shooting through the roof and since you won't have all the Awakened Hime anyway (if you did, Dragon Eyes wouldn't be a problem for you)... well, practically speaking Dragon Eyes are not a bottleneck anymore. Or well, soon won't be. Give it a couple of months and everyone should have all of their Awakenable Hime Awakened. They've demolished the Gem barrier with infinite Gem Quests + Gem Gacha, the SSR book barrier starting from this event (Iluyanka) and the Dragon Eye barrier with Union Events.

Also, with a 1/6 chance of even landing in the element you want, you can still not get the weapon you want even after several pulls.

Even if you had flawless luck, it'd take 360 eyes to MLB every weapon. Without flawless luck, every new MLB you get increases the chances of getting a repeat of said weapon that you MAY or MAY NOT use.

My point is not that one has explicit value over the other, I can just see more silver lining out of the ticket that has even a small chance of a new Hime.

Other than weapons and tickets, we technically have the trails, but lol yeah right.

Yes you are misinterpreting it. I'm saying to spend it only on SSR weapons not from events.

I would not use it on a himeless SSR weapon unless you spend a lot on this game because eyes. While increasing in ways to obtain, they are still a slow to get resource. I've played from launch and I only have gotten a total of 18 completed eyes, some from duplicate SSR draws and currently at 9 because of Sol, Hades and Thor awakening with 2 more to come within the few next months (Satan and Uriel). Unless you can max break limit the SSR himeless weapon with the item, you're better off saving the item and your eyes.

If you have a 100% eidolon, saving for the eidolon break limit item is also an option, because you have less chance of ever drawing another copy of that while you still have a chance of drawing duplicate copies of gacha SSR weapons, at least hime ones.

the way i see that big package, it's 21 pulls (one forced to be SSR and you can save the magic jewels) and two break limit items (that normally cost 40 drag eyes together which is FAR more expensive) for 9800 coins... that's honestly not bad, especially considering that hey, you get another batch of magic jewels adding that much....


it's expensive, so not everyone will go for it, but I think it's worth getting for that price and what you get out of it.

and honestly, unless you're like me and have one or two gacha SSR eidolons at MLB status, you aren't get a dud anyway. worst case would be another drag eye in that situation, and those do take a while to make despite events practically handing out 2 each one. for a free player, that's practically 3 a week outside advent events where they can get more (either 3 or 6) and maybe the union fights if they rank high, which means it is a 10 week maximum to awaken a kamihime for the diligent player considering they don't pull more drag eyes

far as i know, i only have gotten about 20-25 drag eyes (with 6 awakened kami) and i've been playing since prelauch (due to that eidolon gacha thing they had). 25 drag eyes in about a year? that's a long time considering that i'm practically a whale...

as for the 3k one, it's to a much lesser extent but still, expensive as fuck item is in the bag... again, 20 drag eyes IS. NOT. CHEAP. and they pretty much give you one for far less than what you'd likely spend for that. assuming the drag eye pull rate is 1.5% (which is the most it'll ever be if you got every SSR Kami weapon), that's pretty much 1 out of every 67 pulls you'll net a drag eye... i would not want to be the poor soul adding money just for the sake of mass pulling drag eyes...

not just them really, cause the rate of the dragoons doesn't seem too great either...


plus people forget that eidolons like echinda hit 60%. it's around half of what the 100% ones get sure... but that's TWO TEAMS you cover with one... and ones like Behemoth cover THREE. I wouldn't make them break limit priority with those items, but they really shouldn't be counted as "a waste of a pull"
