Discussion: Future Equipment Banner Review 2

Shishui: Hey readers! The previous Future Equipment Banner Review article by Zangod ended at the Dark Burst Great Sword and Light Burst Sword and Shield Banner.. which is just released 2 weeks ago in Global. 

So it's time to do a new update with someone i bet you all know :3

You got that right! It's Karyu! This is Karyu's 2nd time appearing in this blog for discussions! (Karyu has also provided all the equipment stats for the blog :3)

He is a JP player (so he basically lives in the future) who had experienced and gained alot of insights and knowledge about each and every equipment, which makes him the perfect person i can get to do this kind of reviews!

From this, we can get an idea of the each banner and plan ahead on which banner to summon because we ain't got that much gems to summon every banner right? 

So what do you think about the following banners Karyu? 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Burst SNS + Water Burst DB

More information:
Water Burst DB

Karyu: The fire burst sns is a strong set. The parry judge ability is in the same ability as fire dmg, which allows you to have both high fire dmg and parry judge time. It have double attack magi slot, and with the magi charge on wep you can further enhance your magi spamming. Definitely a good fire set to get. As for water burst db, it’s quite straight and narrow with its ability. It have high burst gauge charge which is very good for burst db, but boost for sync edge dmg is rather low. Therefore it’s mainly long time in burst mode but dps is not as high (just like wycana among all snc). However, you may pair up with 4 savern armor for a magi spam playstyle.

Fire Burst SNS
As a Burst sns - 5/5,
As a fire set - 4/5

Water Burst DB
As a Burst db - 3/5,
As a water set 3/5

How worthy is the whole banner: 4/5


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More information:

Karyu: The earth burst gs is one of the best of its kind. Bullet increase that is on weapon, a total of +60% reload speed and bombard dmg are the essential abilities on a burst gs. With full set you can dish out some high dps. The weapon itself can be sub into other burst gs sets for the bullet increase and reload speed. As for water soul bow, it’s the only soul bow that increase the lock-on limit. However, lack of soul charge makes it hard to deal high dmg. The anti-burn on weapon is also useless, wasting an ability. Though, it’s still a soul bow. Not bad if you lack a good water set.

Earth Burst GS
As a Burst gs - 5/5,
As a earth set - 5/5

Water Soul Bow
As a Soul bow - 3/5,
As a water set - 3/5

Light Burst DB + Dark Burst Spear

More information:
Dark Burst Spear

Karyu: The light burst db is one of the best. It provides high sync edge dmg and atk speed during endless waltz, very ideal for burst db to deal high dps. There’s also atk speed during twin edge so it’s easier to charge burst gauge. However, it’s quite hard to use burst db, and this set doesn’t have heal slot, which in some way is a glass cannon set. The burst spear is a strong set as well. It provides burst gauge charge speed to reduce the blank timing between your attacks, as drilling takes up your burst gauge fast. With faster gauge recharge you can perform drilling in a shorter time. Other abilities are pretty general, but is enough to support the set.

Light Burst DB
As a Burst db - 5/5,
As a light set - 4/5

Dark Burst Spear
As a Burst spear - 4/5,
As a dark set - 4/5

How worthy is the whole banner: 5/5

Fire Burst GS + Lightning Burst DB

More information:
Lightning Burst DB

Karyu: The most op burst gs came. The fire burst gs have way higher elem atk than other burst gs, also have 13 bullets in total. You can literally “burst” the behemoth to death in just 1-2 bombard. There’s casting speed on armor as well, which reduces the risk of you get interrupted while casting magi (especially 2 stage and QA etc). The disadvantage is quite obvious: takes long time to reload, which might be fatal in high difficulty fights. The lightning burst db concentrates on fatigue dmg, which is not good as most behemoths have short fatigue time.

Fire Burst GS
As a Burst gs - 5/5,
As a fire set - 5/5

Lightning Burst DB
As a Burst db - 3/5,
As a lightning set - 3/5

How worthy is the whole banner: 4/5

Fire Burst DB + Water Burst Spear

More information:

Karyu: The fire burst db allows you to charge magi fast and safely due to the magi charge speed and dmg reduction during Twin edge. It also extends the duration of burst mode and allow you to dish out high dmg at a longer time, but very weak while charging burst gauge back. Better go for magi spamming. The water burst spear is very good, as it reduces the burst gauge needed to deal maximum drilling dmg. There’s also dmg reduction when using spin shield. A set that that’s good at offensive and defensive.

As a Burst db - 4/5,
As a fire set - 3/5

Earth Soul Spear + Dark Burst Bow

More information:

Dark Burst Bow

Karyu: Soul spear unfortunately is already a weak weapon as it’s doesn’t have any good defensive mech, especially facing later behemoths, but the earth soul spear have what it needs to be strong. It have atk speed, soul mode dmg, and even soul gauge drain reduction, allowing you to stay longer in soul mode in order to provide large dps. The dark burst bow is kind of average, just like those that are first of its kind. Burst gauge charge speed is not enough to let you enter burst mode directly with 3 arrows, so it needs longer warm up than other sets. The set also goes with arrow rain style rather than shooting explosion arrows, as the set have almost doubled the amount of arrows in arrow rain, but not any explosion dmg. It’s slightly better than mediocre in general.

Earth Soul Spear
As a Soul spear - 5/5,
As a earth set - 3/5

Dark Burst Bow

Water Burst SNS + Lightning Oracle GS

More information:

Lightning Oracle GS

Karyu: Water burst sns is the only burst sns that have RBB slot, which allows you to pair with both offensive and defensive support magi. It also have high atk speed with longer burst mode, allowing you to dish out high dps with burst mode normal combo. However, since it’s still burst sns, you need to keep healing as you’re tanking hits. Lack of heal slot might lead to often death if you aren’t good enough at parry. A strong set that requires skills. The lightning oracle gs could be ignored, as most of its ability is not as helpful to oracle gs.

Water Burst SNS
As a Burst sns - 5/5,
As a water set - 5/5

Lightning Oracle GS
As an Oracle gs - 2/5,
As a lightning set - 2/5

Earth Burst Bow + Fire Burst Spear

More information:
Earth Burst Bow
Fire Burst Spear

Karyu: The fire burst spear is a dmg concentrated set, as it provides high dmg boost when reaching max drill. The burst gauge charge speed is good as it reduces the blank window between attacks. Just beware that it doesn’t have dmg reduction as the previous 2 burst spear sets. The earth burst bow is a good set in general, as it gives burst mode dmg and explosion dmg. The arrow increase in arrow rain can be ignored when there’s explosion dmg. While it provides good dmg boost, there isn’t any burst gauge charge speed. Therefore it’s a set that needs long warm up time in order to start dealing good dmg.

Earth Burst Bow
As a Burst bow - 4/5,
As a earth set - 4/5

Fire Burst Spear
As a Burst spear - 5/5,
As a fire set - 5/5
