Oh, welcome back Kitty.
To be noted in this event, that if F2P players want a non-Axe Phantom Grid for Dark, this event is your best bet for a Hammer Grid.

Welcome back Kitty.
Now I can go back to slacking. (*´▽`*)
Axe is way easier to make, yes, but Axe Grids are not great. What you gain is a good chunk of base Atk, while you lose one weapon slot Assault. The net result of this is roughly +-0 damage gain.
So, non-Assault Phantom weapons Grids effectively only gain the two skills from the Phantom weapon - and in the case of the Axe, that's Ability(++) and Exceed(++). The gain of which is... not... particularly impressive. As such, is using a Phantom Axe Grid an upgrade? Yes, yes it is. Is it worth investing your resources in? ... well, no. Not really.
As such, you should always aim for Lance/Hammer/Glaive/Bow Phantom Grids, if possible (and this is obviously hard). That way, you gain the chunk of base Atk without losing the Assault. This is a very nice DPS boost.
doesnt Axe grid come with Pride? which is 71% as good as Assault?
also, axe grid works well with Hercules, so you are not losing THAT much. where as Hammer.... where is the benefit to this?
Phantom Axe does not come with Pride, it is Elaborate/Exceed.
Again, because of this, you have 8 Assault weapons, Phantom Axe and your Soul weapon. This is roughly +-0 compared to having 9 Assault weapons and a Soul weapon.
Meanwhile, with Lance/Hammer/Glaive/Bow Grid have 9 Assault weapons, plus the Phantom weapon and the Soul weapon. So you gain an extra weapon slot - kind of.
Event period: After maintenance end Jun. 20th, 20:00, so no break
Thanks, Kitty! Made my morning finding this post.
