Cherubium is only R but I'm finding her skills very useful for raids. Also have 2 SR miracle tickets.

Hey Steasyg,


First off, Congrats on pulling Nidhoggr! That'll help your thunder team tremendously.

Just wanted to ask; is thunder going to be your main element going forward? If so, I can give some pointers on how to help flesh out your team. BaalU is a really good hime and brings -30% thunder resist to the field. Fodla is a great 2 in 1 hime and you can run two different teams (with her in front for offense and in rear for defense). I'm not so hot on Tezcatlipoca as she's fairly individual oriented with no team buffs at all. Cherubium is also a decent starting hime, but you'll want better. If you're willing to spend an SR miracle ticket on thunder, might I suggest either Gryla or Cyclops. Gryla is a healer which is very valuable and Cyclops has zeal and affliction recover. Both are really good SR Himes for thunder.

Depending on if you have any phantom weapons/other thunder SSR weapons, you have two decent choices going forward. You can switch your soul to Hercules (good choice in the long run) and run her axe with the -25% def resist. That and BaalU covers your defense down and will allow you to take BP (Black Propaganda) in your EX slot. You can also stick with D'art and leech some guardian guns from the thunder raids later this year (expected to drop Dec. 25th). If you get a phantom gun, that can be a decent end grid (though do note: Charle's Blaster is also a HP gun so that's two sources of attack you're losing, as the phantom gun is also Defender++).

If you're not worried about investing in a phantom grid at this time, the guardian guns are still decent and you should get as many as you can (2-4 should be plenty). Just trade your guardian orbs in for 1-2 copies per month and build them out slowly. Getting Gryla (a healer) will synergize well with the guardian guns.

If you're still in SR weapon land, then farming the SR Axes from Ultimate raids will get you a working weapon grid fast. I'd also use whatever maxed limit break (MLB) level 100 Eidolons you can in your eidolon grid, but work to replace with an MLB thunder eidolon for the extra 10% eidolon stats and 4% element attack as you can.

The Eido grid should be your top priority and then the full assault weapon grid.
