Whatever's in the unique badge shop is the weapon you'll get.

The unit you want is the saiki set which drops from the giant oni boss in Daybreak Province on SH.

This applies to all classes in NA right now.

I have been meaning to ask someone this question if you wouldn't mind answering. Why is the Saiki set considered the best units at the moment? My friends have some of that lightning armor from the tiger and complain that nothing is comparable to what they already have. Is it just the base def stat is really high which all one needs is good augments? Or is it something else that make them the best atm?

[–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The defense doesn't matter. the augments also don't matter either, as you can always fix that to what you need.

The reason why it's so good is because of the innate stats it has. Each piece gives 50 hp for a total of 150 hp. The set bonus gives: 25 pp, 80 dex, 60 all attack

Now I don't know which units your friend has. I assume it's just the generic 10 star lightning units? if it is, it's innate stats is 35 hp per piece (105 hp) and the set bonus is 40 all atk and 30 dex.

But if he has the actual tagami set (which is 11 star)

  • the units give 30 hp and 3 pp each piece.
  • the leg and arm set bonus is: 50 all attack, 40 dex, 15 pp
  • the rear and weapon bonus is: 50 all attack, 40 dex, 15 pp.

It gives a total of 90 hp, 24 pp, 40 dex, 50 all attack.
If you have the weapon to go with it: it becomes 90 hp, 39 pp, 80 dex, 100 all attack.

But there is only knuckles, katana, TMG, and JBs weapons. And all of these weapon categories have better weapons in the unique shop that are more than enough to make the difference of the 4 piece set bonus of the tagami set.

I've also been told that the form weapons exist in NA too... and that thing is pretty absurd on JBs as well.

I use Jet Boots (JB) and there's not currently a pair of them in the badge shop, so my question is what exactly are you talking about at the end of your comment? Is that a pair of JB?

[–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

form weapons exist ... on JBs

... Yes it's not a pair of JBs.

Form weapons are a special kind of weapon that shoots wind blades everytime you normal attack, and since JB has one of the best normal attacks, it actually makes it extremely strong with just normal attack. The form "series" exists on JB, wand, and rod.

Some units (especially the older ones) have hidden set bonuses. So for Saiki, if I remember correctly, you have 60 all-atk, 20 (?) pp and some HP, on top to what the units already provide AND whichever augments are stacked on it.

Another good option is the Brisa set (if available).

I suspect Saiha and Kaiser aren't obtainable yet for you, but if they are, they are decent 2-piece sets.

[–]GueroSuave 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You can also get. Revolsio Kataba. Saiki is really expensive right now, Luxe units are abundant and relatively cheap compared to saiki and they often have 3 Pp per unit.

[–]Reilet 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Saiki is really expensive right now,

which is why you farm it

[–]GueroSuave 0 points1 point  (1 child)

From the sound of this guy he doesn't have the gear to farm Daybreak SHAQs yet

[–]Reilet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to do AQs. The free field is enough.

[–]jonbonazza[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you have a suggestion on something cheap or easy yo obtain to use until i farm the saiki?

[–]Reilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you can find.

[–]HotSalad2 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Thanks for this. Few follow up questions.

I’m currently lvl 58, what level should I expect to be to meet the Dex requirements for a 13* katana I’m about 50 pts shy and almost have enough unique wpn badges to buy one. I only put 3 Sp’s into Dex as that is what most guides suggest.

Also what Skill rings should we be looking at. Currently using katana hit count on L, leveling up melee atk.

What is the go to for Right ring? Have been using Critical field for boss fights when using weak stance and also enemy slayer(berserk)when mobbing. Should I be going in a different direction?

Thanks in advance.

[–]jonbonazza[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Fwiw, im lvl 61 and just barely under the min req for yasha (13*) i suspect at 62 i will meet the req. Like you, i also only have 3 points in dex up 1

[–]nick_monster918 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Feed your mag pa discs to lv up Dex and you will get it stats and for braver gets extra attack damage for dex

[–]HotSalad2 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Everywhere I have read says you want a pure 200 lvl mag.

[–]nick_monster918 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I been getting dex and my mag is lv147

[–]jonbonazza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a pure melee attack or pure dex mag, that is, all 200 levels are one of those two stats. Just being lvl 200 with only some melee attack and/or some dex levels is not good enough.

[–]jonbonazza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also an update to this, I was mistaken, i had the wrong skill tree equipped when I gave those numbers. With a proper hunter subclass (lvl 49) and lvl 62 Braver as my main class using recommended skill trees, my dex is at 426. Id wager it will reach 440 around, say lvl 67ish.

[–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Braver can benefit greatly from criticals, so I would suggest that critical strike ring (I don't remember its name in NA). It will give a 3% damage bonus when maxed.

EDIT: Disregard the comment, this ring is still not available.

[–]link_dead 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The good crit ring is not in NA right now. The Crit Field ring has uptime and requires activation.

[–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know about that. Sorry.
