Water Oracle SNS + Earth Oracle GS

More information:
Water Oracle SNS
Earth Oracle GS

Karyu: The best oracle sns (up to date) is here. It has Dragon Assault dmg and oracle gauge charge speed as the base ability for improving dps. There’s even Atk speed (what oracle sns lacks the most) in the ability. The oracle gauge charge speed and atk speed complements each other. There’s warp distance increase like fire oracle sns does, for better mobility.
The earth oracle gs highly concentrates on Dive Smash dmg. It also have a fair amount of atk speed as an oracle gs. The stun dmg however is pretty situational, as explained in lightning oracle gs.

Postscript by Karyu:
Since long ago earth and fire sets have some of the best abilities for a set, and the pattern still remains. Water sets now are being much stronger though starting from water burst spear, even better than nowadays earth and fire sets. Dark and light sets are still pretty new in some way, both have good and bad sets.
Wait...did you ask where’s lightning? RIP good lightning sets doesn’t exist

Light Burst GS + Dark Oracle Spear

More information:
Light Burst GS
Dark Oracle Spear

Karyu: Our first Oracle Spear. It has the signature “wep dmg” ability like other weapon type’s first set, but it’s great dmg boost nonetheless. It utilize more on guarding, which is the main way to charge up oracle gauge on spear, definitely steady and strong set. The light burst gs has all the best ability you need on burst gs: atk speed, reload speed, and bombard dmg. The total dmg boost is extremely high, and have the same amount of bullets as PYR0-10 set, making it the most offensive burst gs.

Light Oracle SNS + Dark Soul Bow

More information:

Dark Soul Bow

Karyu: Compare to other oracle sns, The Light Oracle SNS set have a slower oracle gauge charge, but can stay longer in oracle mode, giving large Dragon Smash dmg. One interesting ability is its ability have certain chance of reviving the 1-time shield that is created when oracle mode activates, with 3 weapons the chance is guaranteed 100%+, which means every time you activate oracle mode you have 2 layer of shields. The dark soul bow is an improved version of Narval, since it gives soul gauge charge and high amount of hawkeye dmg, along with extra lock-on counts, making it the most offensive soul bow. However, beware that current environment is not too friendly to soul bow due to its lack of mobility.

Lightning Burst Spear + Earth Oracle Spear

Karyu: As the last burst spear, the Lightning Burst Spear set doesn’t disappoint us with all the useful ability in one set (except burst gauge charge), along with magi charge speed which greatly speeds up your stage 2 magi charge. It is rare to have a lightning set this strong since Tesclar. The earth oracle spear on the other hand, is more of a mediocre than the previous one. Spin Vortex is more used for breaking Dragon Aegis but not main dps style. However, it provides 4 spirits from the very start, so you have better mobility in the beginning. The anti-paralysis comes in handy when fighting lightning behemoths, since oracle spear’s guard won’t block status like burst sns or burst spear.

Karyu: Somehow we’re back to soul type banner. The light snc is a mix version of Ayame and Ozmia, having high atk speed, soul gauge charge and demon hold dmg. However, snc is somewhat outdated. Though, the armor ability is very useful to Imperator and Light Oracle SNS set, as it provides enough atk speed to improve the DPS on those 2 sets. As for dark soul db, as long as they don’t improve the mechanics of soul db, it’s not a worthy set to pull.

Karyu: The Fire Oracle Spear is a more dps-concentrated of the Dark Oracle Spear. The dmg boost is restricted to max spirit, which is both good and bad as your dps is extremely high once you max out spirit, but having 0 boost once you consume all the spirits because of Warlord’s Chance. A set that really trains your skill to charge up oracle gauge safely. Also, it’s great to have 7 spirits from start so you just need 1 more spirit for the max spirit dmg. The Water Oracle DB is the first oracle db, and the ability is surprisingly strong as the first of its kind. It reduces the oracle gauge consumption on Break Rush (your main dps move) which extends your burst timing, and also reduce dmg received during Break Rush (as the mechanic increase your dmg received normally). It is very well designed in all aspect.

Karyu: This is the strongest oracle sns set among others. It has the highest atk speed (consider all full set oracle sns) and an insane amount of oracle gauge charge speed. It is not a problem as you can activate oracle mode very quickly even it runs out fast. The Dragon Smash dmg further strengthens the dmg during oracle mode. The oracle db is less concentrated on Break Rush, but more on Advanced Screw (a tankier move on oracle db). It gives atk speed, but it’s not important on oracle db, which makes the set a little weaker than the previous one.

Dark Oracle GS + Light Oracle Spear

More information:

Karyu: The dark oracle gs is basically dark element of the Water Oracle GS. It is important to have atk speed and plunging smash charge reduction as it greatly improves the mobility of oracle gs, which Tiham does provide. As for the light oracle spear, it’s similar to the Light Oracle SNS's position against its kind, but the Light Oracle Spear is definitely strong. The chance of not consuming any spirits allows you to keep your spirits even you activate Warlord’s Chance (which consumes all of your spirits), meaning you don’t need to suffer to charge your spirits back again all the time you die. Moreover, it extends Warlord’s Chance duration, which means you have a longer time to raise your dps. Like the Fire Oracle Spear, it provides 7 spirits from the beginning for better mobility. However, do beware that it’s a chance to not consume any spirits, meaning if you’re bad luck the rng will just eat away the spirits. A set for lucky people.
