Just consider Pride weapons as SSR Assault weapons. They have very high base attack, so the Assault you lose at 100% is mostly offset by this. We're not at the stage of the game where we can be picky about what SSR weapons we use anyway.


Also, for now, running two Defenders can be fine. The extra HP you get is an amazing safety net for your Hime. However, this will diminish as we'll keep getting more and more dual skill weapons with Defender on them. Once you have two Defender double-skills, it's start to be time to stop using pure Defenders.
it's not that they're bad, it's that they're situational....

would you rather have a consistent atk increase, or one that changes depending on your current HP? i personally think a SLv20 SSR (should give 16% assault is more worthwhile than a Pride weapon that shifts from 10% to 30% assault, but that's just me. depends on how high you can keep your HP, cause if you can steamroll content, you likely won't see your HP dip much anyway (cutting out the main focus of a Pride weapon). newer players can benefit from this, more seasoned players will be better at HP management or won't even get in a low HP situation.

and honestly, unless you've grinded out pride weapons to lv125 from previous events, this rematch is likely when someone will see a duplicate pride weapon anyway, so most players only have one towards their chosen elements right now... if that.

i'd honestly chalk it up to preference, but i think this tends to fall under how well you can survive a fight
