It turns out that if you replace one assault weapon with a vigoras weapon (one of the current raid event SR weapon is vigoras) and replace Barong with Abou as main, you have a dmg curve where you are losing only 2% dmg relative to initial setup when near 100% health, breaks even around 70% health, and has up to 20% higher dmg when near death. Basically you are sacrificing very little dmg when near full health but still reaping some noticeable gains when at low health.

I have not MLB Abou and slvl the SR vigoras weapon yet, so I can't verify the above, but can report back if there is interest.

tl;dr - Abou's special attack has its uses, most useful to those that have 100% eidolon friends but do not own one themselves AND you frequently FB after eating AoE from bosses. Useless for almost everyone else.

It's really hard for a decent Light team to make use of Abou. You're usually fairly fast and bursty and you have the ability (with Sol and Ascension weapons) to be fairly robust and usually trying to max out hitpoints. She's counter to your basic build.

Now that vigoras SR weapon, on the other hand, is all types of juice and just very very useful. Vigoras is its own frame (separate from assault and elemental), which means that 12% at full life is equivalent to about 24% assault (at 100%+) and approximately 18% elemental (at over 50% elemental) and that weapon can start adding better amounts than most SSRs.

Combine it with at least two pride weapons (for when it starts to lose juice) and you can build a fairly robust bonus to just base assault weapons.


Dejnov.


Edit: I plan on MLBing two of them (with Eido Orbs if needed) to work into a Light weapon grid for the medium to potentially long term if it does work out as well as I am speculating at the moment.
