It means -1 turn cooldown. So a 6T cooldown ability becomes a 5T cooldown ability.

Apparently they'll be used for Soul awakenings on DMM soon-ish, but that also means we're talking about content 1+ year ahead for us.
So right now, yes, no use for them.

That would be Shingen.

And how should my grid look like? I mean how many Assault and Defender Weapons?

Most veterans only use Defender weapons if they're SSR or dual-skills with Assault. Defender SRs are usually used as fodder, while Assaults are used if MLB with good stats. Some use 2 defenders, some use 1, some use none.

The best method of increasing your skill level fast involves understanding how skill levels work, so you don't waste fodder. However, skill levels are something that only make a difference when you stack a lot of them -- if you've just gotten your first SR assault from Disaster, you should probably focus on getting raw power first and worry about skilling up later.

Masamune, Shingen, both have titties.

I got confused, thanks for the answer <3

Thank you.

Why Defender Weapons?

Basically I should farm SR Assault Weapon from Disaster Raid and LB. Until I have, let's say, 9 Assault Weapons with 2 stars or MLB each then I should increase the skill level?

Assault weapons are more valuable than defenders, so defender weapons are many times used to rise the skill level of the assault ones. But I'm not sure I have understood your question about defenders, sorry.
Don't forget the SR weapons from events; you can get many weapons from there. Specially those events of your main element.

I actually meant, why Veterans use SSR Defender.

The next event won't have a SR and neither SSR Dark Assault weapon...

Higher stats and extra HP (Defender L is 6+SL/2% HP, while Defender M is 3+SL/2% HP). Given the chance, however, most would drop pure Defenders for dual Assault/Defender weapons.

Medusa has a... passable SR assault hammer, I guess. But generally speaking, it's a pretty bad event.

Why Defender weapons... what?
Generally speaking, this game's content favors offense. A lot. You need extra tankiness to survive spike damage, but pure tank builds kind of don't exist.

Events are still the best source of weapons -- even SRs. Whether you should fill the rest of your grid with Disaster weapons or just use rainbow SSRs as placeholders tends to be a matter of personal preference (and heated debates).

Even if you used 10 Pride weapons, it wouldn't screw you over. I wouldn't recommend it if you run 2+ healers, but the bare minimum that you'd have is still 100% Assault. And that's plenty.

I run 2 Pride weapons in my Water grid as well, and honestly? I can't even even tell the difference between a full HP Hime and a 50% Hime. I mean, I know that the full HP one is 114% and half-HP one is 134%, but that's hardly a difference you'll notice in a single turn.

If it's swingy for you, then you're at a point where your grid is still low, no? I don't see how that'd be an issue for you. If your grid suddenly jumps from like 50% to 70% because of a boss AoE Overdrive, isn't that a huge bonus you should be happy about...?

Defender weapons give you a huge buffer, which is just outright amazing. I have 30% HP in my Thunder grid, and when combined with 20% HP Eidolon, it's just... well, outright amazing. Sadly, not something I can afford to do unless I have elemental advantage. But even when I need to run double elemental Eidolons, the 30% HP buffer does some amazing work.

That said, I'd advice against heavily investing in HP weapons. Dual-skill weapons are becoming more and more common, and will provide you with all HP you'll need, along with the essential damage output. So focus on dual-skills and Assaults(/Prides).

My water grid is 53% counting the two Pride. To me it seems a bit swingy, but possibly its just a delusion

... well, yeah. When you jump from 53% to say 73% at half HP, then that's... a 37% increase in Assault? Yeah, it should be swingy. But that shouldn't be a bad thing, it's just a huge, huge deal for you when it happens.
