Thread: Mono vs. Rainbow Grid

At the very least not anything I've seen from my time lurking here and my own experience. I'm sure there are some users that just focus on 1 or 2 teams but many players I've met in-game, in my union and seen on this forum have a decently strong team of each element but they don't go to the point of fully maxing out their entire grid before moving on to another, they focus on them depending on the event, get it strong enough they can clear the event and use/save resources for the next event. You can find some players do put more resources into one team over their others mostly because it has their favorite girls or their best kamihimes but it doesn't change that they still work on all of their teams.

For any new player, both styles follow the same kind of progression: changing teams for each event, leveling weapons to suit the current event and the next event. The real difference here is that rainbow grid may users struggle early on because of lack of damage and HP if base value from their weapon grid isn't enough and from not having assault or defender weapons of their own element and in the case they do struggle, it will take them longer and cause more difficulties towards progression. While on the other hand, leveling a bunch of SR weapons for each mono grid is in no way stressful or difficult as you can get what you need to level them from gem gacha and in doing so, stronger than using a SSR weapon of a different element as your team, as already proven by several users in the topic.

By the time you get a strong enough rainbow grid, a mono grid player can easily have an equally or stronger team.

This is actually false. Most mono players never branch out to other elements until after a few months of play--when they start to realize that maining 1 team just isn't going to cut it, or they get lucky with pulls and suddenly have a new best team.

I also like how so many players are quick to assume rainbow would be weaker to start with, when they've pretty much only used mono grids the entire time.

I on the other hand have done both on 2 seperate accounts. The first account I went rainbow and the 2nd I went mono. And the first account had a much easier time with events due to element advantage, to the point where I abandoned a mono grid and shifted to rainbow + element advantage on the 2nd account as well. And just to clarify, the rainbow account had pretty shoddy himes. The mono grid account on the other hand was a reroll and started off with Satan, Tsuk, Beezl and Amon U.
