Thread: Mono vs. Rainbow Grid

Also, a maxed mono-grid team can clear Ultimates of their elemental weakness if needed; it's just Ragnaroks that are the problem. Yet clearing the extra 1/6 of Ragnaroks doesn't provide much benefit either, so that can be skipped too. Same with Ragnarok Disasters and Accessory Quests.

I see where you're coming from, but are we really going to use players that don't have much time to log in & grind events as an example? Coz I doubt most of those players would bother looking at guides and take their time deciding which is the best for them. But if we are talking about that case, you're right. You can just disregard that single element you're weak against. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That said, there are players who can actively participate in most events and want to clear them. And clearing doesn't only mean taking the rewards, but completely overcoming the challenges. And to those players, building a rainbow grid shouldn't be much of a problem while they don't have to bother with filling their grids with SR weapons. And they would also slowly, but surely become better & better with each element which has its own benefits.

And once again, I'm also using monogrid team, but if you argue against rainbow, I can't help, but argue for rainbow grid as that's also a pretty well working option.
