So I just got Shingen unlocked and want to get her a soul weapon. From what I read, the bow looks like a no brainer. But, I'm still not clear about how it works.
1) Is 500% really 500%? In other words, if I can get each hime to burst for 400k w/ Herc, are they really gonna do 2m each w/ Shingen? That would be broken. What's a more realistic figure?
2) That 500% costs Shingen half of her guage. How does that work in practice? Do you do a 4 burst right away, or do you apply the boost, then get Shingen up to burst and do a full burst? Is there a time limit on the buff, or will it stay until whenever you burst?
Thanks.
What. No. The Lance is the no-brainer. It allows you to PF reliably without help. Or, once Second Anniversary hits, PF Full Burst instantly.
This is on top of 30% Elemental being far better than 30% HP from the Bow.It is 500%, but that modifier is not alone. For example, SSRs already have 500%. So you can expect double damage. Also, burst cap without Exceed is 1m per Hime. And by the way, without the Bow, PF is 200%, so you're actually "only" gaining 300% - and less than that if you have any Exceeds on your Grid.SSR Cybele is absolutely part of Wind core. Hitting twice every single turn alone makes her super good. Having Sniper Shot on top of that? Use her.
Ambush to free up Hastur? Or if you're bringing Hastur, literally anything, including duplicate A and B debuff in case of resist.
Once Second Anniversary hits (mid Feb or April, depending on how Nutaku feels) Shingen will get a new Shingen-only overpowered as fuck EX skill.
It depends on the situation really. Right now I put Ambush since I have SS from CybeleU. Before I got Aether I usually had Hastur and CybeleU and would use BP (Ex from Mordred that adds orb). Or if I needed to use Set, then I could put on Ambush.
That's really all I do, switch it up based on what my needs are for the battle.
