Which is better for you, Adra or Crom's Crotch?
And mind you, this is with the quiiiiite unlikely scenario that you're running 189% Assault.
This example is missing 2 rather important detail:

1) Accessories can give you 20+ assault pretty easily, as high as 40 if you're prioritizing it.
2) Svarog herself gives your team a constant 10-40 assault. (FAmon can counter this somewhat, but her buffs aren't on all the time)

As such, typically, once you hit around 150 assault (not that hard, 3 flb, 3 assault L, 3 assault M), it's better to start using the elemental ones unless you have a good (gatcha) assault eido (50+), particularly the ones with burst streak.

Also, since we're in a UE atm, I should point out that the union attack buff is also assault, so especially during these times, never use char eidos.


Also, also... a bit of a nitpick, but newer players aren't gonna have soul weapons, and will likely spend large portion of their time off element, since they are likely focusing on one element.
