Realistically, you shouldn't be using the coloss staff in your pool unless it's 1s, otherwise, MLB coloss SRs will be better.

Eh, I don't know about that, the damage calculator gave me a damage increase despite the attack damage being lower. (But it really all depends on the skill level of your Staves and SR weapons)

This is relevant to me because I plan on going fire. So which is better, SR MLB weapons with max level skills or SSR weapons (only the cane?) with the same with their lower attack but a higher skill boost? If you use a MLB Colossus as your main the SSR weapon pool would be better since it gives a 100% boost to the skills right?

Your end-game is 5-6 MLB sLvl. 10 Collo staves, you then fill out your pool with stuff like Baha weapons, GW weapons, Unknown-type weapons, ect.

I'd recommend against fully max skilling your SR weapons, they still take quite a lot of materials to max, I personally leave them at sLvl. 4. The SSR Staff is the only Collo weapon that has Attack Up as its skill, so that's the only one you want to be using. The Magna summons are only better after you get like 4 sLvl. 10 SSR Magna weapons, before that you're better off with regular Element Damage %+ summons.

Yeah, I was wondering how many SSR weapons I need before I see the benefits of magna summons. Thanks a lot!

Skilling weapons to 10 skill level aint easy / cheap. Obviously its easier in other elements than Light & Dark (cause you get much more fodder SSR). After 3½ months playtime I have 2 SSR omega weapons (Celeste Claw & Axe) at skill level 10, also my guild war weapon (Harp) is at skill level 10. All the rest weapons I use (Celeste SSR weapons) are skilled between 5-8, except 2 Bahamut sr weapons that are still 1 level.

Here is handy table that shows how much shit you need to get SSR weapons to 10. Cirlced 2 means that fodder weapon is at skill level 2.

Iam constantly out of SSR fodders since I have mainly done Celestes & some Luminieras. I do have over 60 gold Animas of every Element, waiting for Omegafest to hit when starting Omegafight is at ½ ap, SR weapons you get plenty by doing Hard Omegas.

MLB Colossus summon is only good when you have at least 45-50 magna (omega) skill level. As you know fire staves have very low attack so its preferably to have only 5 staves in your weapon pool.

Thanks guys.

Also, this may be a stupid question, but do I need to keep my weapons at a lower level in order for them to gain skill points or can I just max level them and then add skill fodder (since you can feed stuff to weapons even at max level)?

Oh, and how do I approach a water weapon pool? How many SSR Magna weapons are preferable there?

You can level your weapons as you wish. Exp fodder are easy to get.

You need at least 5 max skilled magna weapons for magna summon to work. For water pool you need at least 5 levi daggers.

Thanks, another question, or should I say a request for advice.

I've been seriously playing for about a week now (doing raids, reading guides lol), for the first month I've only been doing story stuff and so, rank 44 atm. I'm currently building a fire and water team (I know, stupid), my water team having my only SSR character (Charlotte) and my fire team havin orobably my strongest character, Alec, even though he's an SR he hits incredibly hard, plus I'll be able to uncap him for the fifth time soon.

My fire summon pool is better, I have a 40% attack up summon plus two SSR Colossus summons. My best water summon is a 25% attack up SR and I have two SR Leviathans (not worth mentioning probably). My weapon pools are filled with my strongest items plus both pools have a couple of SR med attack up weapons with lowish skill levels (3 or 4).

So what I'm wondering, for my start dash ticket, should I just give up on fire (I really want Percival but I don't have a good fire support yet) and go with water? Catalina is a decent support so far and Charlotte is great. If I do that should I go with Yoda, which should help me for a while or think in advance and pick someone like Lancelot, who is also a character I like?

Assuming your Start Dash doesn't have any other limited characters available, I would use it on Yoda to significantly speed up your early game progress now and consider Lancelot or another water sub as a special ticket choice later on once you really have a team rolling.

Of course the real answer is to pick whoever you like best.

Joining the Super Bingo party!
Now I need to move up to the 20 player game and try my luck.
 
Would you choose Yoda or Lancelot for your start dash ticket? I like both characters for the record.

Since you're still starting out, go with Yoda, he'll fall off eventually but he makes farming various enemies (most notably Hard Primals) a cakewalk with his 999,999 damage ougi.

I'm still using him as well, and I'm playing Fire, since he one-shots Hard Primals it's by far the fastest way for me to farm up animas.
 
Yoda is the main reason why I can mentally maintain the early-game grind. He's also the reason why I could get all the SSR rewards from the Boots and Blades event despite how undergeared and underleveled I am.

that looks really good, Yuel is up for consideration as well (she has a 5* form)
Just looked up Yuel and I think I like her skillset more than Claris'. So I think I'm going with her. Thanks for the suggestion!

EDIT My god, I just got my third SSR Colossus Summon in less than 24 hours! And I'm not even getting any red chest. After all the time I spent farming Yggdrasil (before I switched to fire) and I still didn't get any SSR drops from her. Crazy

RNG! I got around 15 SSR weapon drops from Colossus my first week of farming him. Then it trailed off big time :( :( :( And some of those weapons were the useless variety.

I haven't gotten a single SSR weapon to drop yet - only summons, oddly enough.

Does anyone know what the fragments the Omegas drop are gør? U also just had a True Fire Anima drop. What do I use these for?

Just hold onto all of that. The fragments can be used to trade up silver animas to gold as well as make/trade for other animas. The true animas come into play for some higher level trades. Specifically I know guild wars character requires a handful of each type.

Pretty much anything that drops from omega raids is useful in some fashion.

It's worth browsing the shop every now and again to get an idea of what you can make.

I don't really understand how the whole limit break works, I mean I know it's uncapping but.
I've uncapped Danua to 70, apparently she can be LB'd 5 in total and there is a different sprite for LB 5.

However, how do I limit break her more if I can't actually press uncap?
Am I just misunderstanding something here?

For 5th uncap you should cap (level up) character at 4*, do a fate episode that will appear after you reach max level, and you'll get another uncap with a hefty pricetag.

Is there a guide to farming/forming a dark team anywhere? I want to start on my second team with my "excess" AP, and while wind is the natural choice (I already have Petra and Kowza, my main is fire and burns down green bosses), I have a full 5-person dark team already (RNG loves some dark characters).

Checked already - it looks like a gun on a picture, but it's a dagger. And I have no luck with it.
Maybe it is because I was kung fu master that I got so many fists...

Ah. The earth dagger? Doing the R only quest? I got that from chap 16. I was referencing the ultimate guide at the time.

Another mess up in that screenshot guide. Fist drops in ch.13 and dagger in ch.16 and not vice versa as in screenshot. Got dagger from 1st try (with 2 mushroom girls and a number of TH stacks though)

got down to 1.6, got a bingo to 2.6, then down to 2.1m (from 4.5m *flips table*).. gonna stop here, today is not my day

I was at 6.5mil for my high point. Then went on an epic losing streak to 800k. Had to switch back to 10k table. I've been bouncing between 1-2mil ever since.

I'm up 20 mil this week >^.^<

-_- I just want to finish limit breaking anat and have some maintenance chips. Is that too much to ask? Lol

I'm convinced the casino cheats. There's no way I lose so many times when doing the double up in poker when I have a 3 or king showing. THERE'S JUST NO WAY.

I just got my fourth SSR Colossus Summon in 24 hours. That's crazy! At least I know have enough to MLB it. Still no SSR weapons from it, though.

Did get the SSR branch from Yggdrasil (farming her whenever she shows up if I don't see any Colossus Raids) so that's nice too

That's awesome :)

Though after awhile you are going to hate getting the summon. The weapons are the real prizes. The summons are just clutter.

I have 23 weapons... but only 2 summons. I would actually use a MLB summons at this point.
 
So I may have just shot myself in the foot. I currently only have 1 normal Tiamat anima and you need 5 per character to uncap them past level 50.

Besides the normal/hard raid which you can only create 3 of a day is there any other "decent" method of acquiring them? I know you can trade 5 cerulean stones for them but I heard thats not worth it.

I know the Co-op rewards offer the omega animas but I am just looking for the normal one.

Nope. I'm struggling with this as you need 100 siver anima for the guild wars character. You only have three options for acquisition:

- hard raids (best but 3 per day)
- cerulean stones (very limited resource. Probably not worth)
- trading renown points for it. 1 per 100 points. Capped at 10 a month.

My advice, since its just for uncapping characters, don't even sweat it. Just do your 3 hard raids per day and build up that way. I'd say it's an average of 1 per raid if you are able to MVP your hard raid.

Edir: duh. As Falk said, leeching hard raids with EP too.

farming for SSR magna weap seems like a daunting task, not only do you need the right weap to drop, you need it to drop 4x time to MLB it, then you need to do it 5-6 more times.. i've been farming for a week now and only the leviathan bow drop.. what are the drop rate for SSR weap?

I remember reading ~1% for gold chest and ~10% for red chest.

Also don't MLB it first. Use them in your weapon pool without any stars initially then bump them all up to 1 star, etc. The skill level is the real win.
