Thread: [Event 53] Raid Event vs Amalthea

^Icarus is a raid, and raids don't get reruns, so your only chances of getting her again is from the raid eidolon store that's coming soon

and yes, JP wiki says Amalthea's 750 barrier lasts for 3 turns

It's been a while since the last good Wind event.

The weapon seems to be Atk(medium)/Double attack. How good are these kinds of weapons in general? Worse than SSR assault, better than Pride?

Not better than pride. They're passable replacement weapons for people who don't have a full SSR grid, but not something to go for if said people play long/ are rich enough to choose their SSR weapons.

honestly, even if an assault/rush combo was good, wind has so many ways to get double on their own...

SR filler is just as good as that weapon, minus the stats

First statement is... well it depends on how new the player is. But generally speaking, I agree.

The second statement is where I find a bit of bother. It's a stretch to say SR is as good, because you're looking just at the assault, and while you did account for the stat difference, the 5% DA increase is still an extra bonus, therefore still nailing the fact that this SSR weapon is still better than an SR assault.

However, whether the weapon is worth it in terms of skill up investment is another question. SSR weapons require more than twice as much material as SR weapons because SL1 R weapons won't be sufficient to max skill, and they have double the required skill points required. Gemcha is still relatively inacessible to new players since you'd require a high AP cap to be able to spam gemcha infinitely and they don't have access to farming SR mats or grails, so skills are quite a precious commodity to them right now. I'd advise them to hold on to the weapons for now just in case, however, as it's still not inherently trash.

As for players that can infinite gemcha and don't have a full wind SSR grid, I'd recommend that they use this weapon in place of the SR disaster assault solely based on stats alone.

And obviously, for players that already have a better choice than this weapon, why are you reading my post other than to scrutinise any mistake I make

According to Japanese wiki small rush is 1% DA boost at 20 SL (medium 3%, large probably 5%).

cause this place acts like the slightest bit of misinformation is a fucking taboo.... >.>

So, for dbl+ and trpl+ be the same "budget" in weaponry seems really unlikely to me. It's possible, but I'd take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: It looks like the DMM Wiki now lists trpl(+) as 2% and dbl(+) as 3%. So it's not the same anymore. Either way, that's still the same "budget" so I'm not really trusting it.

even if it's low, triple doesn't sound that bad... if you can get a lot of assault/triple dual effects, that can add up
