Thread: Optimal Accessory Enhancement Discussion

I looked further into the rabbit hole of leveling SSR accessories optimally. After reviewing XP tables, I've reached the following conclusions:

1. Use SR or higher fodder only. You're going to need more than 20 fodder to cap, and synths after the first batch are very expensive.
2. Level LV1 fodder only. Otherwise you'll be wasting massive amounts of gems for marginal XP gain.
3. SR and SSR fodder benefit equally from levels. There's no reason to level one over the other.
4. For maximum benefit, focus R fodder on leveling SR+ fodder of the same element as the target SSR.
5. The maximum benefit from SR and SSR fodder is obtained by leveling them as high as possible in one synth. That means you want to focus all your R fodder onto each LV1 SR in batches of 20. Substitute Ns when extra Rs won't add a level. Similarly, focus all your Ns onto each LV1 in batches of 20, and substitute an R if it can net you an additional level.
6. To maximize the same-element bonus, always combine in the largest same-element batches possible.

Furthermore, I reviewed drops from the last 10 days (mostly rank 4, some rank 3) and arrived at the following drop rates:

• 1 SSR drop per 6 battles
• 2 SR drops per battle
• 2.4 Rs per SR
• 2.4 Ns per SR

This yields the following rough enhancement plan if you're focusing on raising 1 SSR at a time and using all SR fodder available each week. This assumes that you're hoarding SSRs and not using them to enhance, and for the sake of simplicity ignores the same-element bonus for enhancing SR fodder.
53 SRs: 7 SR25 (6 same-element), 6 SR20, 40 SR1
125 Rs: 17 Rs per SR25, 1 R per SR20
135 Ns: 3 Ns per SR25, 19 Rs per SR20
Total cost: 145,300 gems

The SR1s are used in 2 batches of 20, then the SR25 and SR20s are used in the third batch to reach LV50. It should take about 10 days to farm the required materials per LV50 SSR.

But actually, the optimal way to spend your resources is to synth your SR1s in batches of 20 onto all the SSRs you plan to equip for quick, cheap stat gains. Repeat for batch 2 on each SSR. You should be able to farm enough SRs to raise 2 accessories to LV32 each week and get most of the stat benefits with very minimal investment, and postpone the expensive synths as long as possible.

How many accessory inventory slots would one recommend for that? Assuming one plans to do so for every element with at least a minimal of the 4 main kamihimes of each team.

I maxed out my accessory capacity immediately. That's far more useful in the long term vs. a 10-roll in Gatcha that will likely net you nothing useful. The higher your capacity, the more efficiently you can combine.

I made a tool for comparing Accessory loadouts, including effects. It includes primitive modeling of the effect of Affliction rate up. It's missing some of the effects that don't interest me because they look clearly inferior, such as Ability damage and Burst damage up.

Sanahtlig's Toolbox: Accessory comparison calculator

After considering the excellent gains that can be had from +affliction rate, I've invested in maxing several Rs and 1 SR and equipping them on my debuffers. My Cthulhu now has +6% affliction rate, providing an accuracy bonus to all 4 of her debuffs. Maxing Rs is a lot cheaper than SRs and SSRs, and the affliction rate bonus helps the entire team. I may forgo SSRs entirely and just find SRs with the bonuses I want, as SSRs are too rare to have much of a choice. SSRs stacked with ATK can be strong, but since every character in my team has a useful stat debuff, I'm not convinced the added ATK is worth the investment.

What is the cap?

300, the same as everything else. And I still don't have enough space. It fills up at least twice a week.

I don't think I've found a single Affliction accessory - not R, SR, much less SSR - in the last week or so. So I was entirely cramped in inventory space. I just wanted to make space...


And yes, that is honestly the best SSR I've found so far, thank you very much. Status res+, Burst+ and Ability+ is bloody everywhere.

have two ssr rings with mode gauge reduction
but no amon unleached to do rofl reduction.
