Mirai, I don't think that this post is very clear. The MVP matters most for Standard and Expert Disaster Raids because they will drop extra plat chest that has chance to get the Assault weapon. However for the Standard and Expert Disasters there are 3 weapons that can drop from each element and they are 2 Defenders and 1 Assault, so farming those is a bit of a gamble for getting the right weapon. Also the weapon has a chance to drop in the Gold chest as well (some people have gotten 3 weapon drops from Disasters before, but that's extremely rare).

The Catastrophe Raids only drop weapons in the Gold chest and you don't need MVP or VMVP to get those to drop. Just participate in ones that look like they have a good chance to be defeated. The other nice thing about the Catastrophe raids is that they only drop the Assault SR, so it's much faster to just use your BP to farm those for the weapons you want.
