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.
