If you need defender, get it from some hime weapon released starting Snow Raphy's era as a dual.

This applies even more so with SR disaster weapons. Your main source of weapons comes from events, and the filler SR weapons should not be defender since you won't be getting much of those and your SSRs can often cover enough defender. 11k HP is enough to handle most content currently.



Misconception no. 1: You assume that ascension doesn't increase the heal amount as well. Realistically it is impossible to reach a point where your HP goes so high the cap isn't ever hit.

Misconception no. 2: Healing accessories fucking suck, period. You aren't gonna get more mileage out of 2%. Convince me otherwise.

Fact check please.

for the newer players that do get a grid full of SR, 130% assault and no defender might help a bit... til event rag content nukes them faster than they can shell out damage. for those fights, if your HP is less than 8k, you're in a bad spot unless you have multiple healers or tanking skills. and less than 8k is rather likely until they go through say... 5 events minimum (assuming they don't pull SSR eidolons, but did reroll for a 100% one)? And there's no chance in hell they'll survive GO like this, maybe catastrophe with some decent helpers (or leeching raids) which should be reasonable for them at the point of 110% assault or more (depending on raw atk). I do agree that you go for dual weapons when possible. but depending on the event and the player, that might not be possible for a long while. not saying to load up on a lot, but get at least 1 or two defenders until dual weapons are in your reach for pride/defender or assault/defender.

also, i did mention ascension increases the heal cap. did not say it ups heal amount cause that wasn't my point. and as someone mentioned, heal amount can easily hit the cap. speaking of the cap...

i'm sorry, 2%? this says 3% at the start and the dmm wiki says this can hit 5%:



and then the're gonna be drops from AQ7 that will do 6%, then increase to 8%... again, according to the wiki for dmm's version. so yeah, that's 25% from healing accessories we can get when true rag hits, but 15% we can get now which is.... basically an additional ascension. only suck part is they don't work on everyone's regen (meaning useless for amaterasu or belobog), but do work on direct heals (meaning they work on nike or sol)

And nobody fucking cares since most other stats are far better. Atk+, Def+, Dbl+ and Trpl+ for example.

It can still be good on some hime that rely on self healing.

Or for hime that AoE heal like Sol, who I put that on.

It's essentially extra Ascension, or removes the need for it if you're lucky (cause it may be possible to roll more than 1 heal boost on the same accessory).

Sol doesn't do much in offense anyway, so I'd rather put HP, Def, and heal on her, which I more or less did.

yeah, I have to run wind defender sword since my rerolling account only came with Hraes, and the other hime with defender is dark and fire, and with that my wind team damage is the same or even lower than some other element without 100% but it make me able to clear all thunder content. Heck, wind didn't even get a large assault.

if i don't have assault in my fire or thunder grids, then they're just screwed....

Kyuki was a great example as to why you need defender, cause if you can't bombard her with damage, you need the HP to survive some hits. or even better, wind catastrophe since HER COMBO RATE IS NUTS.

if they ever do a GO of Kyuki, i'm not gonna like it (or Rahab since her rag has ONLY ONE ORB before she nukes you)

Well, water, wind and thunder didn't get any dual defender in the last 6 months (water get 1 next event tho), water and thunder both can reach 130% assault with event SSR (in the last 6 months) and Wind didn't get any dual defender until Garuda. That like half of 6 element can reach 130% assault without an getting a dual defender recently.

all it takes to reach 130% is 10 M assault... get them to skill lv20 and you're set, but by then, you should have done events to get at least some SSR...

weapon wise, absolute max on assault (not including pride) we can now reach uses 10 FLB weapons... making it 210% if they all include L assault

And typically, you wouldn't hit the point of 130% assault without at least getting some degree of defender from duals, the time frame it takes get there is usually a couple of events worth. And some hime weapons you might have collected during the process. Having to actually run pure defender on your grid is a heavily last resort option.

never really intended for someone to go full defender. i did say have one or two until you get dual weapons with defender on them. assuming you have M on all the skills and they're single skill SR at Skill lv 20, that's still 104% assault with 26% defender... 117% assault and 13% defender if you take 1 defender like that...

replace dbl with HP since dbl supposedly can screw you out of trpl... and what about affliction rate, drop rate, hell even ability damage works for someone that does it often like svarog... (tempted to see if it works on shamash since she counters for like 130k per hit for me right now)

and there's gonna be damage reduction eventually too so don't count that out.

but either way, to each his own. i like my options open in case the "leeroy jenkins" strat of dealing as much damage as possible isn't gonna cut it (which makes sense due to inflation on Raid HP... 200 fucking million HP on the latest DMM raid boss, you're kidding right?). who's to say that they won't have solo content with oh say.... 20mil to 50mil HP on a boss since DMM players can do like 10-20 mil damage full bursts...

hell, if i wanted to make a challenge, you'd see damage invalidation on more bosses so you have to time your damage.

By reach 130% assault I mean with soul weapon, so 9 weapon left and you need 4 large assault or less with flb.

actually, 4 L assault and 5 M Assault is 129%.... no need for FLB. i got (4 x 16) + (5 x 13)

that's assuming you got them all with skill lv capped. if you literally want 130% assault with that, then 5L and 4M makes 132%.... FLB will just add to this...

or less L assault with flb, since in the contex of last 6 month you only get 6 large assault across 6 elements and none of them got 4 Large assault.

HP is a trash stat in Accessories now that dual weapons are becoming commonplace. Def is so much better it's not even funny.

And Dbl+ doesn't screw you out Trpl+ until you reach 100% combo-rate. And there's only a few Hime who do that.

I honestly think HP vs Def is preference... if the boss wants to kill you with a nuke, then damage cut (on future devil accessories) will be superior to both.

And while true on 100%, dbl is still supposedly checked before trpl so the more dbl you have, the less trpl should activate. Which will soon be easier to do given tiara set effect... forgot where I seen it, but awakened kami supposedly have a base double of at least 10%, so tiara set pushes that to 25%. And some kami like Titania can push this a lot higher. And you can even toss in union buff for those events for up to 25% more making it a base 50%. Doesn't need to be 100% for that to be an issue.

It isn't. The more HP you have, the less more HP matters. The more HP you have, the more Def matters.

With dual-skill weapons giving HP to all Grids, Def is simply vastly superior.

Except that's not how shit works at all.
