Thread: Advice for 3rd legendary Soul

Weapon isn't as important as new players tend to think. An SR is generally "good enough". Also, much of the time you're just picking up the Soul for the EX ability, so the primary weapon doesn't matter at all.

Dart unless you -really- have no use for sniper shot, then probably joan

D'art or joan

Andromeda is an interesting choice, especially when you are missing healers...

The problem with Andromeda is that if your debuffs miss, the extra healing won't matter. You're going to die to concentrated fire. Mordred is indispensable for most teams in solo content right now.

And don't forget that there are also Union Events. If someone is using Mordred, someone else may use Andromeda...

Union event's aren't solo content, you can use whomever you want and it wouldn't make much difference, you'd still be clearing in the end with the help of others. With solo content, you can't rely on others to carry you and Mordred is the most important because her skills are essential. So she is top priority. Even if you don't use Mordred herself, getting Black Propaganda takes far more priority than Andromeda's ex skills, even Vivian and Cassiopeia provide better skills that they'd be worth using over Andromeda in many cases despite weaker heals, which you'll unlock both getting D'art, another top priority,

I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the previous comment that Andromeda is useful in teams without heals. While true, that's already a sub-optimal scenario. If your debuffs miss and the boss is winding up a 15k damage attack, you're in serious trouble. Mordred makes that much less likely to happen. There's a few compositions that avoid this issue (Dark teams with Balor, Fire or Light teams with the rare elemental resistance down skill, teams that will always have elemental advantage), but they're the exceptions rather than the rule.

In other words: plan to have a healer kamihime. That's one reason a lot of people start with Sol. She's not necessarily an optimal long-term pick, but she fills an essential role in early to mid-game, regardless of what your primary element ends up being, and she also brings utility skills that are situationally useful even in late-game.
