[Event 21] Crucible of Combat vs The Demon Lust (Union Event)

So... the Blade of Guilty Lust... What do people make of it? Is it even worth using as either a main or sub over a MLB'ed SR weapon? Not sure I'm going to with that odd weapon skill.

Here's the formula from the wiki:
(SLｖ/2)+20*(1-HP/MHP)

At 100% health, skill level 20, its 10%, which is the same as an R assault. At 85% its the same as SR assault.

I'm planning on using it, mostly because I don't have enough wind weapons ^^

Even SSR Defender weapons are worth grabbing since the base stats alone nearly make up for the loss in assault skill. Now add back +10% of the lost assault skill and the result is pretty obvious.

So, one way to look at needing to be at 85% or less HP for it to be match/beat SR assault (and 70% being the threshold for SSR):

If you're spending the vast majority of a fight at full, or near full, health, life's pretty comfortable. You're presumably not at risk of losing, so you don't actually care about how much harder you're hitting, outside of time/vanity reasons. Anything can go in that slot, so it's not the most interesting case.

When you're spending more time in a fight further away from full health, that's when you start being under more pressure to be able to end the fight sooner. That's when you start caring about how much time you need to win versus the time you can hold out for. And the numbers just so happen to be such that this is when the SSR pride effect starts winning out.

I think that i'll use that weapon in my wind grid after all.
My wind grid isn't full yet so i can just replace one of the other element weapon for it.
Also arc and mordred can use that weapon so i have more options for using souls.
However i'm not sure that i'll upgrade the skill yet as i want to save a gems to limit break awakened gaia (when she come out) and level up the skill of the SSR and assault weapon in jack o latern event.

What is the recommended Grail distribution again?

is it possible to get a copy of either SSR from a rainbow chest like in other events?

not sure if my union is going to be active enough to hit the union PP rewards but pretty sure the individual and subjugation we'll get
