See, this is where your thinking is flawed. It's literally only situational for Burst Hour, and even then, pretty much only if you can one-shot the fight. If you can one-shot the fight? Then who cares.

For everything else? Pride weapons are fine. More than fine. It's not something that makes your damage fluctuate, it's simply a damage bonus as your HP gets lower. Nothing less.

The day will come when you can start thinking about stuff like that, but as it is, you're not anywhere near a full SSR grid for any element (without massive whaling). As such, you should have ZERO aversion towards Pride weapons. Stop thinking of them as "bad" or "situational", think of them as GOOD. Because they are. At very least until the day comes when we can fill a weapon grid with event SSR weapons. Once that day comes, we can talk about "situational", but honestly? If the Pride weapon has more base atk - and it probably will - chances are damn high that it's still the better bet.

While this is the first "duplicate" Pride weapon, Water (Reiki) and Wind (Ikaros) has two different Pride weapons already. And now Thunder with double Union weapon.
