IF you are still using something like a defender SR that needs to be replaced, your overall gains from grabbing bow is much higher.
These are your gains:
1)FLB typhon lance = Defender(not even a +), 213 attack power, and 16 hp.
2)Replacing SR defender with SSR gun = Assault ++, defender "maybe" upgraded to defender(+) which is about 3% more hp at the same skill level. You might lose about 200-300 attack if the gun is only at LB0, but at 10% skill level, assault gives you on average 1500 attack from your grid. 1500-300 = 1200 so you actually gain more.
3) Replacing SR assault with SSR gun = Assault/Assault + to Assault ++, defender(+). The upgrade to assault would be 3-6% damage increase at the same slvl. If we calculate with 3% then that would be a 450 attack gain if we assume average attack of your weapons is 1500. 1500*0.3*10 = 450.
So looking at these calculations, getting the SSR gun to replace an SR weapon would provide much better stats than FLBing typhon's lance. Hope I didn't make any calculation errors here, and again, I'm not a pro. Just looking at it from a numbers perspective.

Now I've a question. It seems like I have been getting combat buff/debuff priorities wrong.
Is my goal to first aim for 50% atk/def debuff, THEN get as much atk/def buff as I can?
Or is my goal, to get 50% combined attack debuff+attack buff, and 50% combined 50% def debuff+def buff.
Also during fights, do I drop ALL debuffs asap on the first turn keeping them refreshed then auto attack most of the time, def buffing on the same turn as an overdrive attack, healing when I need to, and ONLY using attack buffs for a combination of skill nukes and full burst?
