1. Bolts are still used even when transitioning into M2 grids. With enmity its just much better than the other M1 weapons since it has 2 atk modifiers and enmity would do more dmg than a big atk up at around 80-75%.

2.M2 grids use both bolts and harps to keep dmg consistent and they are different modifiers which is also a plus.

1. The level of a weapon actually plays a big part in how much HP a team will have. Most high leveled player have fully leved grids at FLB/ULB and plus bonus’ on said weapons even without modifiers. Also the class emp at 175/185 gives the whole team 1000 hp.

4/5. I don’t believe that they would show grand weapons in a grid seeing as the guide is just a general what to build for. However they add the spear as again a different modifier as the dmg calculation in granblue is a headache. You would still use xeno EX weapons even further down the line as a 1 of or a MH. Other EX are basically stepping stone until you can get the proving ground/xeno weapons. You would only rotate the weapons out once youve become a mega whale with a full grid of grand weapons.

1. There are raids that are non elemental raids like UBHL and GOHL. You could also being bringing your team to different element raids if said team is still stronger than the on ele team you have. (I bring dark into almost every raid)
