Doesn't matter when it's garbage vs. something actually good. A 0-star Hammer will probably perform better than a LMB garbage.

I've made a damage calc with a quick "is this a better weapon?" checker (which sadly doesn't support Rush since we don't have proper data on it), why don't you see for yourself just how bad base atk is? More is of course better, but if you've been playing for a month or two, the other sources of base atk simply overshadow the gains when compared to Assault from weapons.

As such - you'll generally only want Assault weapons in your grid. At the moment, dual-skill Atk/HP weapons are still fairly rare, so you might need one or two Defender weapons. But Water is starting to have several now (two from Events), so you shouldn't need to do that. In the future, you absolutely DO NOT want anything in your Grid that isn't Assault (and Prides are Assault), because there will be 50%+ HP also available from dual-skill weapons, entirely knocking out the need for Defender weapons. While that's... still a fair bit away, really, do NOT go for the garbage Gun just because "it is cheaper." There is a perfectly fine SR Glaive with Assault which will perform better than the Gun - while being a ton cheaper to boot!

Sounds like a pick and choose your battles thing then.

I'm just stockpiling mats anyway. Ult runs are 3.5 mins or less for me anyway
