Thread: How important is it to have a mono-element team? (noob questions)

Thanks for both of those posts; they really help clear up some issues. Bring up a few other questions, of course, but these are much easier!

1) 'following the DMM route' <---- what does this mean? I assume it means by following what the game was originally like in Japan, but not sure.
2) I assume max skill level of weapons is 20 then? Seems like that would take a long time to get there. I have saved all the chalices i got from the Crom event - I assume that's how you level them beyond any reasonable level?
3) Aidoru mentioned that there were event only himes, and that every raid event has one. I was there for Crom, and I got Balor from that event - is that the type of hime you're talking about? But NOT the Aphrodite that was thrown in the jewel/gold gacha right? Those are still in the gacha?
4) What's a Union event, and how should I prepare for it (if it's missable)?
5) Jewels are easy to find in the beginning, but later on they're much more scarce, right? Should I be using them for the gacha or for stamina refresh pots?
6) When I autoset my teams, it treats higher attack power more importantly than weapon element. Take wind for example, I have a MLB R axe (from gem gacha, don't ask haha). Is it worth putting in the wind team's roster over something with more power? As in, does the wind% stacking matter more than straight attack power? A wind axe with a few hundred less power or a dark item that benefits no one, but stronger hp/atk?

Thank you both for the answers so far.

1) Yes, DMM is the JP one. DMM is the site that hosts the Japanese version most of the nutaku games come from.

2) Max weapon skill level is 20. Chalices aren't needed to level up weapon skills but they help as they're basically equal to double (not exact value) that of a regular weapon..

3) Correct, I am not talking about premium gacha. There is a SR hime obtainable every raid event. We've had 3, Heimdall (Wind), Gabriel (Water) and Balor (Dark).

4) It's the 3rd type of event this game but I don't play the DMM version so I can't say how it works. Looking at the JP wiki, I would assume it's more or less the same as current events but it tallies up each players score (PP and clears) in the union to a total that needs to be reached to unlock certain rewards.

5) Don't use jewels for potions other than on Ragnarok in Advent event, not Raid event ones. Advent Ragnarok you can only run once a day, whether you clear or fail. Of course you should only use it if you really need to and know you can clear after one, you can only use one per battle if memory serves me correct so if you lose again you just wasted jewels. Aside from that, the only other thing outside of gatcha you should spend jewels on is increasing your weapon/eidolon inventory size.

6) Auto-set doesn't factor in weapon skill, it only factors in total value, so you may be losing potential damage depending on the skill level of the dark weapons.

Adding to what Aidoru said.

6. You won't want to have R weapons as secondary ones, they are just too weak and even at 20 skill level they should be worse than SR of any other element. The only case where you will want to use R weapon would be to use it as main weapon, if you don't have have already SR weapon of your element that your souls can use, since it change element of your soul which also change element of extra hit of burst.

Of course it's assuming that SR and R weapons are max limit broken and at max level.

Never re-rolled. Has Sol AND Acala. This is just a stealth humblebrag topic, isn't it?

Haha, sorry no, it is legit. If it makes you feel better, my only SSR eidolons are Takemikazuchi.... twice. Would much rather have something befitting a different element. And until I got Sol, who admittedly is apparently one of the best SSRs, I had nothing. There's a long list of things I wish I knew back when I started, and as a result I've wasted a bunch (holy crap, I got rid of like 5 'extra' Fire Assault weapons back during the crom event), but as you've rightly noticed, with Acala and Sol i'll definitely be ok.
