Anniversary Freebies

This year Cygames gave a way a lot of selector tickets for weapons and more. Here are some quick reccomendations or food for thought on the various giveaways.

Ultima Choice

If you are picking your first ultima, the most helpful choices are Ultima Blade, Ultima Claw, and Ultima Sword. The reasoning for this is that they cover the widest variety of characters. Consider what characters you use the most and try to aim for the greatest coverage. You don’t need to match the character profiency to make use of the ultima. Ultimas primarily function outside of HL content as a slot consildation of seraphic weapons and astral weapons. So if they match its a nice damage boost but you’ll still get the main strength of the weapon if they don’t

Another thing to consider is if one would help you farm SUBHL. If it would help get your other Ultima ULBs sooner than later than it would be the top choice.

Element generally doesn’t matter. If going for claw, light is the best choice due to the lack of strong farmable light fist MHs.

Now for the three keys. Strength aka the stamina key will generally be slot one though sometimes Strife (multi attack) and Zeal (enmity) will be used. Second slot is another form of cap up to complement your Opus. So if you have skill cap on Opus use normal or CA cap depending on your team. For slot 3 Tria is the main one due to it being the seraphic key. Ena

For picking up a new one, the more common choices beyond the prior listed ones are Ultima Axe, Ultima Staff, Ultima Spear, Ultima Gun, and Ultima Dagger.

Weapon Tickets

For the weapon tickets, get whatever you need for your grids. A great consideration is how farmable the raid is for you. If the raid is too hard or farming it would be slow or annoying then it would be a really great pick. The common choice for many is to get two Agonizes due the difficulty of farming the raid in slow periods. With Dark GW after the next one it would be a big help as well.

Revan Ticket

While Revan weapons are great late game weapons, they require awakenings to be very useful. Since the weapons won’t not come with them, they can’t really be used until you get to 200.

The top three choices would be Schrodinger, Sette di Spade, and Fang of the Dragonslayer. All are great options for their elements. Schrodingers and Settes are both CA weapons or strong HP slots depending how you use them. Water generally sees more use of Schrodingers than Settes. This is either because Kengo is generally relegated to HL content for Wind and Water can use MkII Schrodingers as regular grid pieces. As for Fangs, they are the largest farmable mod source for Earth.

Schrodinger and Settes want a bunch of copies to fully use them so it would be good to get one to cut down on the needed farming.

The other weapons have use, but Extinction Blade and Forbidden Agastia need MKII to be generally useful.

Superlative Ticket

The Superlative one is the trickiest one to give reccomendations for. The series has a lot of duds and a lot of weapons that don’t see any use anymore and the ones that are are often pretty niche.

Excalibur is generally a safe choice for HL content thanks to the Garrison and CA boosts. The light vairiant in particular has seen use for as a mainhand for NM200 and SUBHL bursting thanks to the 50% superior element echo on CA being great for boosting MC damage further.

Sky Piercer was previously a very popular choice thanks to being one of the stronger lucha MHs. However, its general use has died off due to both lucha comps falling off and more importantly the teamwide echo is A-side meaning it doesn’t stack with the Chain of Falsehood. Despite that it still saw use last Earth GW and pops up every now and then for bar farming comps.

The last to cover is Ullikummi. Its a generally nice weapon thanks to its skill which applies a 1 turn cooldown cut to all skills with at least 6 turn cooldowns. It can also heal on CA and provides teamwide echoes on using the MC’s first skill. It was used for the first water clear for Lucilius Zero showing its still has a place.

Ultimately though it really comes down to you and what element you wish your main. None of these weapons are gonna make or break anything so get whatever seems fun or useful to you.

6 Dragon Ticket

The 6 dragon summons have Optimus skill boosting sub auras. As a result, pick whichever will the element you are or are most likely to go primal in the future. If you have it already, the choice then becomes to save a sunstone or get one you don’t have. Both are valid options.
