Thread: Mono vs. Rainbow Grid

In more neutral answer actually both are situational answers. if in the past i choose to play rainbow as there is no OP eido that can let me push through everything with damage but it may change when I00% eido come. We will see how I00% eido elevate the damage of weapon skill to let player push through everything with just damage of one element regardless himes rarity.

Uuuuh no they're not. A monogrid will always outperform rainbow by a long shot.

Really i use rainbow with skill level 2 but i can kill ultimate with only auto attack not even auto ability and kill ragna without any hime dying.

And i'm not using SSR himes at all in context to this event.

Well that's nice. But that doesn't change the fact that monogrids are by far superior to rainbows.

Actually i see more people around that using rainbow more succesful to clear ragna quicker than monogrid but if your argument is number well big number mean nothing if cant kill ragna without elemental advantage. monogrid has weak stats and hp against off element ragna will insta kill esp with no SSR himes.

I actually dont like to debate using just a perception like this as its will yield no conclusion.
So i'm going to say about weakness of using monogrid.
I. it will much lower base hp esp if you use hp eido and the difference usually significantly big
2. Not using elemental advantage the debuff hardly stick make the ragna battle very risky.
3. incoming damage also bigger and when your base hp is low you cant sustain the health.
4. Too much focusing on one elemental will screw you when facing its weakness element.
5. You wont last long in union event using neutral element let alone its weakness because most the time you dont have much element to choose or hime to choose as you mostly too busy farming raids for weapon than farming fang or other limit break items for other element. so you most the time left with only one team to choose nothing else.
6. When SSR arrive your SR will become obsolete and it mean you waste all effort to grid it
7. Your bonus stat cannot be focused in one weapon and become scarce you cant maximize the bonus status from gacha you get
I wont debate it cuz i also lack solid data for comparation also busy too, just helping to shed the light

Yes, but people being bad is hardly anything new. The amount of times I've had to argue with people about character vs. elemental attack is astounding...

Yeeeaaaah... right. No.

Around the time that you can clear Ultimate is around the time you start to have the resources to run monogrids. When you're able to run Ragnaroks, you should already be running monogrids, because even weak monogrids will stomp rainbows quickly.

I think the point of this long exercise was to show that an immature (rainbow) grid of SSR weapons can match or outperform an immature mono-element weapon grid (skill level not maxed, mostly SRs). I'm not sure though because the overarching purpose of the analysis was lost in the process of establishing the model. I have seen data that supports this particular conclusion, but it assumes you can field a full complement of debuffs for each element. That's not always possible.
