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
