Yggdrasil Caim

Legend

	Weapons which will never leave your grid.
	Best in slot. Used in a large majority of team comps or essential to the best setups.
	Weapons used in a lot of setups,.
	Weapons with a few niches.
	Weapons with one specific niche.
	Not worth using or mentioning.

While weapon rankings can be a handy reference, they fail to tell the whole story of a particular weapon . A D rank weapon for example might only exist in one specific setup, but may be unreplaceable on that setup. Look for specific raid guides to get an understanding of the value of weapons there.

Earth’s Majesty	Small boost to earth allies’ ATK and max HP

Mix of Omega and Optimus mods with awakenings makes it one of the raw damage slots available for Earth.
- The upgraded version Fang of the Dragonslayer Mk II pushes this further with even more ATK mods added to it.
Pairs great with the 150 GM weapon Hrunting due to activating its second skill for the whole team for free bonus damage every turn.
3-4 ATK sees use in Nekomancer setups and OTK.
Caim Grids can run one MKI and one MKII as they count as different weapons and they are ideal weapons to run together.
1-2 SPC is good for burst setups for the cap up.

Charge Attack

Skills

Lifetree’s Majesty III	Big boost to earth allies’ ATK and max HP

Big magna ATK and HP, cap up of choice at FLB, and third skill of many powerful options at ULB.
At FLB it is a solid slot for the free cap of choice, but due to the large quartz cost it should be lower priority until the rest of your grid is done.
Once ULB it will be a must slot in every grid.
Skill 2 is almost always skill cap.
Skill 3 will typically be Stamina to start.
For bursting it will normally be Freyr or Echo key.
For ougi setups it will be Glory key.
