Dark Burst SNS (Single)
More information:
Dark Burst SNS
Karyu: The dark burst sns is the only burst sns that have RBR slot. It provides a very high sonic thrust dmg and burst mode dmg, along with some atk speed. It will be a great set if you can parry almost every hit. However, like Airgetlam, it doesn’t have any parry judge time, makes it very difficult to perform parry. A set that only performs well in the hands of player with good parrying skills.

Light Oracle GS + Fire Burst Bow
More information:
Light Oracle GS
Fire Burst Bow
Karyu: The light oracle gs is a better of its kind. It greatly boosts on Dive smash dmg, which is oracle gs’ main dps move. The stun duration increase is also helpful when you perform successful stun, since not only it’s easier for you to finish a large dps move, but also stunning is like restraining the behemoth, letting your teammates to perform large dps moves as well. Though oracle gs itself is pretty hard to use. Don’t recommend if you’re not good at predicting or dodging moves.
The fire burst bow concentrates more on magi spam due to the magi cast speed and double attack magi slot, allowing you to cast high dmg magi that’s usually having long cast, further improve dps. It’s quite similar to fire soul bow among other soul bow: longer mode duration but no charge speed. Therefore it takes a longer setup like the earth burst bow.

Dark Burst DB + Light Burst Spear
More information:
Dark Burst DB
Light Burst Spear
Karyu: The dark burst db heavily boosts your dps during Endless Waltz (burst db’s burst mode). It even have a longer burst mode duration. However, this also means it’s weak when you’re not in burst mode, as there isn’t any boost (burst gauge charge speed or atk speed) to charge up burst gauge safely. Though, no doubt it’s one of the best dps-bursting set in game.
The light burst spear goes with a balanced boost in both offense and defense like water burst spear, but with a shorter time to achieve max drilling boost, thanks to the ability that reduces time needed to reach max drill. The RGR magi slot is a tiny down side, as spear isn’t great in magi dmg, and burst spear is better to pair up with some particular support magi.

Water Burst Bow + Dark Heat Spear
More information:
Water Burst Bow
Dark Heat Spear
Karyu: The water burst bow is one of the best of its kind. High magi charge speed, long burst mode duration, explosion dmg and even high burst gauge charge speed. Basically everything that greatly benefits burst bow is in the set. The only 1 downside is that the total burst gauge charge is just around 2% difference to reach “max gauge charged with 3 arrows explosion”, the amount of arrows needed to manually explode arrows. But this can be solved with some crystal ability or passive magi.
The dark heat spear is….just a heat spear. It’s basically the mixed version of Magna and Gorynich, along with some onslaught dmg (which is useless). The dmg reduction covers up lack of survivability of heat spear, with high dark and jump dmg. Dmg is pretty high, but heat spear is hard to use in current and future era.

Fire Oracle GS + Earth Burst DB
More information:
Fire Oracle GS
Earth Burst DB
Karyu: The earth burst db have one of the best magi combinations for a burst db. Atk speed both in Twin and Sync Edge allows you to perform better burst gauge and magi charge, and better dps as well. The magi charge during Sync Edge allows you to maintain some particular magi buffs. One of the best sets you can get if you have the correct magi combinations.
The fire oracle gs is somewhat slightly better than mediocre. The Spin Smash dmg is useless as all dmg is concentrated into Dive Smash. The magi charge does help you to cast magi when needed, and atk speed allows you to charge into Dive Smash quicker. Not as good as the light oracle gs, but not bad either.

Lightning Oracle SNS + Water Oracle GS
More information:
Lightning Oracle SNS
Water Oracle GS
Karyu: The very first oracle sns. The oracle gauge charge speed helps a lot, since dmg barrier activates every time oracle mode is activated. Dragon Assault is also the main dps move for oracle sns. However, lack of atk speed makes it being a bit clunky. Though, there isn’t much great lightning sets, and lightning oracle sns no doubt is a better choice among those.
The water oracle gs is one of the best of its kind. It have high dmg boost in general. Not only it has attack speed to finish attacks quicker, but also greatly reduces the Dive Smash charge time, as the time while charging is quite fatal. These abilities makes it way easier for oracle gs to compete with other sets.

Light Burst Bow + Fire Oracle SNS
More information:
Light Burst Bow
Fire Oracle SNS
Karyu: The light burst bow is literally “the light soul bow amongst other soul bows”. It has high burst gauge charge speed, enough for you to fully charge burst gauge with 1 manual explosion (3 arrows). It also has high burst mode dmg, which is helpful when the burst gauge charge speed is high. A very strong set in general.
The fire oracle sns is not bad either. High Dragon Assault dmg on the armor and Oracle mode dmg on the weapon. Most interestingly there’s Warp distance increase, which greatly improves the mobility of oracle sns, especially in dodging. What’s better is that this set can be paired up with Ayame the fire soul sns, a great weapon that provides attack speed and fire dmg, even sacrificing some oracle mode dmg and drain speed reduction. One of the rare sets that DOESN’T require a full set.

Earth Burst Spear
Dark Heat Bow
Karyu: The earth burst spear is another strong set. High dmg boost when reaching max drill, high aerial shot dmg (which is your main dps move), and reduces time needed to reach max drill. A dmg concentrated set like the fire burst spear.
The dark heat bow is another good set for highly skilled heat bow players. It even have longer restrain duration than Maximus, and also Dmg during restrain for better dmg boost. Unlike Maximus it has a more balanced magi slot, but since it has heal slot it has a better survivability than Maximus.

I want to ask you a question :v how long the comeback series of gorynych will appear again? do you know?. Because I'm really want the Halley set :v. Thanks if you read and answe😊
ReplyDeleteLikely never again, it had 2 comeback/revivals (last one was in october? Something like that) already and the set is very old so there is little reason for it to reappear.
DeleteInteresting... I can skip some equipments now and get a hold of more gems for far better behemoths. Thank you Shishui for this and Karyu for some insightful takes on each equipment's performance.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome :D
Deleteplease continue doing the equipement reviews for us to prepare ourselves and our wallets,thanks and more power to both of you
ReplyDeleteGlad we can help! :3
DeleteThe Burst bows are sitting around 4/5 and 5/5 - But they are considered Meta in JP. Is the rating burst bow vs burst bow, or just in general?
ReplyDeleteSo having pulled on two burst bow sets so far... They have been meh. The arrow rain was nice for defensive battles, but just didn't have the punch I was expecting.
