2. Do i have to keep R weapons? Some i must keep until i'll get a better counterpart. I know that i must keep at least one weapon from every element and type of weapon. What about rest? (Inventory: 74/90 where 45 are R rarity weapons)
1) Kamihime are independent of their weapons. Level and MBL the kamihime if want to use them in your party, but the weapons are solely for 'you'.


2) R weapons should be used as fodder to increase skills. As I'm finding out more and more, this game is really about stacking weapon bonuses. I still don't know the 'optimal' amount of weapons, but for example, for your fire team, you really want a whole weapon set of pure fire weapons, preferably all Assault type (that increase ATK).

Of course, ideally, they'll all be SSR weapons, but haha, good luck with that. SR Assault weapons will probably be the most of them, and you can farm at least 1 Assault SR weapon of each element from the Disaster Raids. (each raid has 2 defender and 1 assault weapon). So those Rare weapons you've been stockpiling... use them to level up your SR and SSR assault weapon skills.

So if you have a really good potential basis on say... fire or something, then try to get as many fire Assault SR or SSR weapons and level their skills. Each skill level increases by 0.5%, though SSRs start higher than SRs (much less Rs). There are posts about what each level needs to get 100% chance to level up. For example SR weapons need their skill level in Rare weapon count. So like a lvl 3-skill assault SR needs 3 Rare weapons to level it up. A level 11-skill Assault weapon needs 11 rares to upgrade the skill to 12 at 100% chance. Sanahtlig has a useful toolbox which contains this information among others.

This is just me, but the higher levels are prohibitively expensive, so I personally try to get a bunch of weapons to 8-10. It's way easier to get THREE SRs to 10 than one weapon to max skill level of 20.

The only time you should level rares (and never their skills) is if you don't have a mainhand for your Soul to wield that's not SR or better.

TL;DR:
1) Pick an element for your strongest team
2) Use those Rs to level up the skills on the SR or better Assault weapons for that element
