Example Grids

Burst

First an example of a standard light RB burst. Efes and Harmonia form the core components of the setup. The middle row can be flexed depending on the situation. The main thing to note with this setup is while the grid lacks 100% crit to activate Efes’s third skill, Mugen (Halloween) provides 100% crit which also activates them.

And then an example with the 150 GM weapon Golden Fists of Ura. This one runs lucha and drops the World harp for the fist.

Full Auto

Now for a full auto example. Unlike before, we need achieve 100% via grid components for Efes to activate which is where Ivory Arks come in. Light FA presently contains a lot of skill damage dealers. Thus to make the most of them Radiant Rinnes are slotted. If new character releases make normal attack focused FA better than skill damage, these will be the grid pieces swapped out either for Efes or Furies.

Hard Content

For hard content, we’ll go over two setups. These two in particular are from Dark Rapture Zero. Yamato leans heavier on normal attacks hence slotting in Efes and Ivory Arks to make the most of them.

Kengo on the other hand leans more towards charge attack and skill damage so Diaitesia and Radiant Rinnes are slotted for that setup instead.
