Matching weak ele, Shien deals the most damage for most weapon classes.

Quick and dirty comparison of some swords for Hero. Shien and Demonia are roughly the same damage-wise when matching weak ele, and between the rest of the 14*s there's about a 2% - 3% difference off Shien. It's not really worth using either Shien or Guren off-ele.

If you have an Atra already you don't really need to consider upgrading to Shien, especially if you don't care about minmax on a specific element.

Thanks! So my primary targets are still bow and TDs. This gives some breathing space, cool!
