That... certainly used to be the case, but I don't think so anymore. Now that Guardian Eidolons are out, it is perfectly acceptable to run a Guardian with a P2W Eidolon from friendlist. Heck, I tend to do that for all elements, since running a level 40 Belial just isn't as nice as running a level 100 Phaleg. The biggest advantage from running Belial is that you can pick any Eidolon (P2W or Guardian) and it'll work out fine, whileas running Phaleg means that you must pick a Belial/Cerberus.

This will slightly change once Disaster P2W Eidolons come out, since let's face it, 100% Assault+50% Guardian effect is more than a little OP.


Anyway, I don't know if bricking first generation P2W Eidolons (Belial/Rudra/Hraes/Kirin) is worth it anymore. Eidolon Bricks should be saved for second generation 140% P2W Eidolons (Cerb/Levi/Hanu/Nid), or Light and Dark first generation (Mana/Anu since those two don't get better ones), or the second generation Kaisers (specifically Byakko, North Star and Genbu), or third generation P2W Eidolons (Disasters). Don't have any of these? Better just hold on to your bricks, IMO.

The good news for first generation P2W Eidolons is that you can FLB them to 140%. That DOES make them decent. But only do that if you'll be committed to farming the everliving shit out Phaleg+ generation raids, and those will probably be a total cunt to beat.



Thanks to Guardian Eidolons existing, I think that the biggest linchpin has moved to Grids. Simply put, for example Fire just doesn't have a good Grid available to it. You'll need to brick a whole bunch of Hime weapons to even hope having a Fire Grid. It's doable, but also extremely random. Water and Thunder have a huge advantage in this aspect over others, but Wind and Dark also have decent weapons available. For Fire and Light, you're fucked if you don't run a Hime Grid.
