i did a few events getting some eidolons that can hit lv100 and weapons that can hit lv125... i could use the enhance mats that the gacha and hour grind quests failed to throw at me..


plus i still don't have shingen.... and we're just now getting the SSR stuff from the light pride events...


sorry, but i'm not part of a union that gets like 400 million PP and thousands of demon kills... we're only averaging about 70-100 kills a day between both expert and ultimate

Don't forget accessories from Gluttony round 3 and onward. 3 SSRs/5 SRs/5 SR rosaries/15 R rosaries according to the table. (rosaries being the fodder accessories that auto-match element, I think?). If nothing else, they're exp fodder without you needing to spend AP on accessory quests, so you can instead use that AP on daily quests trying to get stars to drop :P

Do those accs/fodders drop from the actual battles too though? Or just the set limit ones from the completion rewards?

If it's just the reward ones, then it's not like farming more will get more of 'em then.

What can I do with the free copies of the staff pride? I already have one Max Limit Break.

Make a second MLB one. Why wouldn't you?

Don’t like pride weapons very much. But could it be is the future these types of weapons get a buff? Or the extra copies of ssr weapons can be exchange for other useful items or weapons? Or are just copies for another mlb weapon/enhance material for another ssr weapon?

personally, i don't like pride weapons either. at skill lv 20 though, they're pretty much 10% assault and give more as your HP drops (when someone has 5% HP left, they're getting 30% assault from that pride weapon alone if i remember right).

it's that situational effect that makes it seem kinda off to me (opposed to just getting a large assault and having it give a flat 16%), but it does help your general damage output regardless.

i honestly feel like you should only have one, but if you got blank slots or defenders that need replaced (like me), then have at it and get another MLB pride

plus i do think these get buffed later on, allowing you to get a 4th limit break so they not only hit skill lv 30 (and lv150 for normal stats), but gain a 2nd ability. so i'd at least hold onto them

Final limit breaks. The weapons that get final limit breaks made available for them are the draconic eye exchange weapons, SSR kamihime weapons, union event weapons (when they occur for the 3rd time?), and original advent SSRs when their 2nd Reprints occur.

For non-whales, draconic eye weapons and SSR kamihime weapons are mostly out of the picture. So your FLB options are mainly coming down to union event weapons and the advent SSRs. Union events occur more frequently than 2nd Reprints, so the list of weapons that you'd consider to FLB will be predominantly union event weapons for quite a while. Consider that on DMM right now, the list of 2nd reprints to date is Phoenix->Apocalypse->Rahab->Typhon->Vritra. On the other hand, all 12 union event weapons (2 per element) have FLB available. Oh, yea, union events get a 2nd SSR weapon starting on their 3rd go around or so?

What's the point of FLB?
- raise the level cap from 125 to 150
- raise the skill level cap from 20 to 30
- either improve a currently existing skill or add a second one
- raise your soul's burst multiplier by one step?

For the Pride staff specifically, FLB gives it Ascension (medium). Ascension's +heal; that is, it'll increase both healing power (small amount but who cares) and the upper limit (the important thing here). (medium) means that it'll raise heals' upper limit by (7 + skill_level)%. So when you take a Pride staff and FLB it, that lv 20 Ascension (medium) raises healing cap by 27%. Then you take it to lv 30 and now that's +37% heal.
Ascension stacks additively. So let's say you FLB a second Pride staff and raise it to skill lv 30. Now your light team is rocking +74% heal. Almost the same effect as 50 grails in +heal in union events.
Oh, and lv 30 Pride skill still gives +15% to assault at minimum.

Oh, and the costs of FLB don't include needing another copy of the weapon. They require farming a bunch of other stuff.

DO NOT shy away from Pride weapons. As MagicSpice more or less said, they're Assault weapons that get bonus damage as your HP goes down. So don't think of them as bad in any way. They're GOOD.

... though I guess Light has the most reason to shy away from them, seeing as Ascension is aplenty in Light SSRs and Sol heals for ridiculous amounts. This will largely mitigate most of the bonus damage that Pride weapons get.

Still, even before FLB, a SSR Pride weapon is the same powerlevel as a SR Assault, like 0.5% to 1% below depending. So until you have a full SSR Light grid, you shouldn't even consider skipping out on Pride weapons. But since that is not happening before FLB gets here, even without the Pride bonus damage, the 15% base Assault means that the Pride weapons will blow everything else out of the water.
