At this point, leveling your assault skill on your primary team should be your primary goal. That's where your gems should be going, especially if you can't clear Advent Ultimates yet.

I can clear experts with no problem, Ultimates take a bit of work, and I have yet to clear an Advent Ragnarok. Is there a better (read: easier) way of upgrading skills than just brute force 10x normal gacha-ing and throwing all the results at the primary team weapons?

Yes, you should be enhancing intermediates after weapon skill LV5, then using those intermediates to enhance the weapon of interest.

What he said is totally correct, if a bit confusing if you don't know what he's talking about lol. The N weapons are worthless - the rare weapons are used to upgrade skills. If you're not sure how to do that efficiently, there's quite a few posts, and perhaps far more relevantly lol, Sanahtlig has a lot of info in his toolbox (see his sig).

As for the original question, is there any easier way than just doing the 10x pulls... no. You'll be doing that a lot. Over the past 2 days I've dropped maybe 130k in gems, and got 2 full assault weapons from skill 0 to skill 20. Kind of tedious, but hey, the results are totally worth it.

Yeah, for sure. I'm just wondering if there's a reason I shouldn't be dumping like... the 14 rare weapons I get from 4 10x pulls to level a SR assault weapon from 16 to 17? I know it's not the -most- efficient usage, but I'm getting Rs up the ass and incoming SRs are far fewer. It seems like just saving them in my vault for the most -optimum- usage is kinda... inefficient in and of itself. Wouldn't it just be better to burn them up and fully upgrade my SRs?

As long as replenishing those R's is trivial to you, then go for it. The 'cost' of expending multiple R's versus an SR fluctuates depending on your supply of them.

- - - Updated - - -

I should say 'worth' rather than 'cost'
Replenishing R's basically costs Gems and your time spent rolling the gem gacha over and over again plus donating normals to enhance your union's guardian.
Efficiency comes into play when the 'cost' (gems and time in this case) is non-trivial to you. Otherwise, if the above is trivial, then by definition you're not going to care.

Despite getting nothing actually Dark related in the Dark gacha, I think I used up my luck for the rest of the year in that pull and solidified myself with using Fire mainly.

You should get a boatload of SR defender weapons from Raid events and Disasters. You should have more than enough to use one per skill level as enhancement materials. Check the weapon enhancement calculator of my toolbox for comparisons of how many R weapons it takes in combination with various intermediates to achieve 100% success rate at various weapon skill levels.
