Unite and Fight consists of 7 rounds.

The first two are colloquially refered to as meat farming. For most players, this round consists of farming out Extreme or Extreme+ to get host mats for the raids of Finals. In the first round, Preliminaries, all honor is counted to both crew and individual honors. In the second, Interlude, honors only count towards individuals. Farming preliminaries is a lot more important for this reason where interlude can often be skipped unless ranking. NM90 and NM95 are also available these days. NM90 will typically be the go to route for farming Celestial weapons as they are the fastest node that drops them and the rates at all Nightmare fights are about the same. NM95 is for rankers looking to get honors faster.

The bulk of GW is the four rounds of Finals. In this stage, teams go head to head to see who can get more honors during the round period. These rounds introduce Nightmare raids which uses the meat farmed during the previous rounds. Day 1 introduces NM100 and NM150, Day 2 brings NM200 and Day 3 provides the final fight NM250. While the best players will aim for the highest level every day, the general rule for all players is to farm whatever stage nets you the most honors per hour. So for example, if your best NM200 takes more than 3.25 times longer than NM150, it would be better to run NM150. The other main meta concern of this round is meat usage. It is helpful to both set meat usage goals and limits for each round so that you can both meet your individual goals as well as retain meat for the later rounds with a much higher honors/meat ratio.

The final round is Final Rally, a rematch against the GW boss with your whole crew. The fight is generally not notable in terms of diffculty and can easily be FA’d or refresh spammed.

Gold Moon

Summon	Priority	Notes
0-1 Excalibur	★★★★☆
0-1 Golden Fists of Ura	★★★★☆
0-1 Futsunomitama	★★★☆☆

Excalibur provides 50% bonus damage to MC on CA. This is used in Relic Buster bursts to stack additional bonus damage on MC. In the prior years, it was used for the fastest NM200 clears and as of right now outside duos that will likely be the same.

Golden Fists of Ura is a very strong Sumaibito mainhand thanks heavily to it packing 30% normal amp and big TA. Starting at level 110, it also gives MC sub all and undying. This pairs well with ura fist dealing a 3 hit full force counter along with an additional nuke on counters. At 230, Ura fist gets a 2 turn (3 at 250) buff that gives MC assassin end of turn, adds 2 additional counter hits, and cuts red skill CD’s by 3 turns. Last but definitely not least is a 2 turn buff at battle start for all allies giving 30% TA up and converting the third of a normal attack to 3 hit flurry along with 30% bonus damage. In past years, Ura has always been a strong contender often putting up some of the best times. The recent transcendence buffs will make it an even stronger contender.

Futsunomitama will primarily be an FA weapon providing lots of free skill damage such as using MC skill 1, on normal attacks, and on CA. The CA also provides 15% bonus damage to the team. When attacking an enemy at level 10 thunderstruck, MC will also gain double strike. Additionally it provides strong teamwide skill buffs like skill supp and rigor. Outside FA, futsu has a niche as being great for Orologia OTK as it provides extra skill after the Orologia nuke.

Luminiera

To start, let us cover the weapons needed for Luminiera grids.

Core

General

Premium Upgrades

Weapon	Priority	Notes
1-2 Harmonias	★★★★★
1-2 Canifortis	★★★★★

Canifortis iis the highest priority weapon to get thanks to its 50k normal supp and 12.5% MA and 10% NA amp. You will need to make sure to hit 280% aura boost to use it but it is a big damage increase to any NA based setup.

For premium upgrade options, Harmonia is also high priority thanks to the unconditional 50k supp.. They are an excellent boost and its a highly reccomended to get one.

Zeus

Zeus grids will likely mostly be stable but there should be at least one new grand that will likely want 1-2 copies of their new weapon released before then.

Core

Summon	Priority	Notes
2-3 Efes	★★★★★
2 Canifortis	★★★★★
2 Harmonias	★★★★★

Efes is Lights’s exalto weapon and provides damage amp on critical hits. This amp is quite potent thanks to its ability to stack with other amp sources. The main drawback is the need to crit to activate. Thankfully, light has two non grid ways to reach 100% crit. The sub aura from Mars (Summer) provides 100% crit at 0 button presses. The other way is via Mugen (Halloween)’s skill 2 Song of Sweetmeats All Light allies gain Light ATK Up (30%, 5T), Critical Hit Rate Boosted (20%, 5T), DMG Cap Boosted (15%, 5T), and DMG Amplified (20%, 5T).(Inflict Max HP Lowered (Stackable / Can’t be removed) (30% (90% Max)) on target allies.) . For extended setups, you will need to run a crit grid for them.

Harmonias offer 50k supp and 7% cap per party and are another major source of cap break.

Canifortis provides 50k normal supp and 12.5% MA and 10% NA amp. You will need to make sure to hit 280% aura boost to use it but it is a big damage increase to any NA based setup.

Good to Have

Summon	Priority	Notes
1-2 White Sword of Splendor	★★★☆☆
1-2 Radiant Rinnes	★★★☆☆
1 ATK Ivory Arks	★★☆☆☆
1 ATK Sacred Standard	★★☆☆☆
1 Gambanteinn	★★☆☆☆
1 Vacation Toolbox	★★☆☆☆
2 ATK Symmetria Mk II	★★☆☆☆
0-1 Equilibrium Tannenwand	★★☆☆☆
0-1 Official’s Jitte	★☆☆☆☆
01- SPC Symmetria Mk II	★☆☆☆☆
0-1 MA Eden	★☆☆☆☆
0-1 Diaitesia	★☆☆☆☆	Booeyman MH or Street King Aux option

White Sword of Splendor is the present main skill boost weapon in light with 100k skill supp and big crit. Additionally, it has a skill that deals an additional hit of skil damage whenever skill damage is dealt to a foe. Radiant Rinnes are Zeus’s boostable skill cap and skill supp weapon. Both are great for burst setups or FA thanks to the skill damage present in light.

Ivory Ark is one of the main crit weapons for Light that isn’t the exalto. Being a big crit weapon it can easily cap up the crit from Efes. Ivory Ark will typically only be slotted for FA setups as burst setups have other ways to reach 100% crit and the second mod being small HP and debuff resistance makes it better for FA. Its also a pretty good manadiver mainhand as it provides 10% partywide bonus damage on CA.

Vacation Toolbox is an all around solid weapon packing both Big and smal crit to help easily reach 100% crit as well as providing 20k supp on crits.

Sacred Standard, Edens and Gambanteinns fall under the category of good raw damage slots combined with multi attack up.

Equilibrium Tannenwand is a go to weapon for Light HL thanks to its medium HP, healing, and garrison as well as 400k CA supp. Its likely gonna be a great slot in NM250 FA as well.

Diaitesia is a CA focused weapon which boosts CA damage by 10%, CA cap by 6% and special CA cap by 2% per harp in grid for up to five harps. Since both Harmonias and Rinnes are harps, its pretty easy to get this up there. Since it also provides medium HP, this will likely be slotted in for NM250 setups.

Official’s Jitte is an excellent mainahand for Chrysaor setups. It provides crests to the teams an will deal a 1-6 hit skill nuke based on the number of crests. At 5 crests, all allies will gain 10% bar at the end of turn to help with CA looping. On top of this, it also provides 15% CA cap and medium crit to help reach 100% crit for Efes.

Imperious Fury is Light’s Vitality weapon providing EX ATK, DEF, and Special Cap based on HP. For FA, the DEF and HP can be helpful.

Below are bunch of characters that see use in various contents. If you have any of them, try to level them beforehand and don’t forget to invest in EMPs, earrings, rings, and artifacts for the characters you’ll use.
