Below is a rough overview of various weapons used in Optimus grids. For more information on weapon usage, see the other tabs.

High Difficulty / Long Content
All relevant grid weapons for this section are considered Fundamental to Optimus Dark setups.
Used as a main weapon for Fighter Origin in optimized setups.Alternatives include: Fleuret de Diamant Herb Basket Serpentius Check Additional Weapons for further information.Trade with a Superlative Pick Ticket. Spending Gold Moons is not recommended

Core Grid Weapons
Weapons that form the core foundation of many setups.
This weapon only having one aura-boosted skill makes it able to be used in both Optimus and Omega grids, though boosting the value makes this weapon shine a lot more in proper Optimus grids.
Provides 40% EX ATK, 25% DEF, and 7% Special DMG Cap Up when at least 4 weapons of the same weapon groupe.g., 4 Swords, 4 Spears, 4 Staves, etc. are equipped.
Lacks defensive modifiers so additional defensive weapons may be needed in the grid.
Although it provides significantly less damage than Excalibur, it provides extra sustain to help mitigate the extra damage MC will take from Dawnbreak400% Elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~635,000). Inflict Supplemental DMG (30,000)DMG taken is supplemented Strength: 30,000Duration: 3 turnsLocal status effect. Gain Hostility Up (Stackable)More likely to be attacked (Stackable / Can't be removed) Duration: Indefinite and Charge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20% Strength: 20%. (Activates upon taking damage.).
Celestial weapons are an incredibly potent grid slot due to their combination of powerful offensive and defensive modifiers. Uniquely, the weapons will provide further bonuses to characters whose weapon proficiencies match the Celestial weapon.
Adjust the Celestial weapon type based on your party's proficiencies, or choose one for Voltage II synergy if your party's proficiencies are too spread out.
At lvl 200, the weapons can be equipped into the additional slots in Party Set Extra teams and are often one of the more powerful options available.
Each weapon can also be awakened, giving it the ability to adapt to whatever the team may need. Since awakening requires Crystallized Core ×170, extra care should be taken when choosing an awakening type.
Ultima weapons at lvl 200 are a staple in many intermediate to advanced grids due to the versatility of its weapon keys and the various effects they provide.
The 2nd key grants the entire team with a damage cap increase based on the key selected. This key does NOT stack with a Dark Opus Weapon's 2nd key of the same type, so make sure that they are different.
The 3rd key is most impactful since with Gauph Key Tria, the weapon now provides a Seraphic-type attack boost to the entire team, thereby replacing Seraphic Weapons. Depending on the team's needs Gauph Key Tessera and Gauph Key Dio may also be useful.
Once you have access to 5★ Destroyer Weapons, Ultima Weapons are not as ubiquitous in team setups due to their stronger Seraphic modifiers and other various effects.
All World weapons possess a damage amplification modifier, however it is limited to a certain damage type and only available to characters with certain weapon proficiencies.
As a result, these weapons are very specific to the composition of the team, not just from a character perspective but also the type of damage the team excels at.
World weapons can be equipped in the additional slots in Party Set Extra teams.
Notable Farmable Weapons
Farmable weapons that are used situationally alongside premium options.
These weapons are very high investment weapons that cost a substantial amount of Gold Moons. They are not recommended to be obtained until the player understands the value of their resources and what benefits they will gain from purchasing one.
Ereshkigal is an incredibly strong mainhand that is very burst oriented. It provides a large amount of quality-of-life as it optimizes the button presses needed and can even function extremely well in 0 button setups.
This weapon is seen in a wide variety of setups, from Manual Burst, Full Auto to even certain High Difficulty raids.

In the current state of the game, any place that actively calls for Zosimos can also be handled with greater efficiency by Fighter Origin, thus rendering Zosimos hard to justify.

Burst Setups
These setups aim to deal large amount of damage in as few turns as possible or in a short amount of time. These setups are typically used for farming raids with a minimum Blue Chest honors requirement or competing in Unite and Fight events.
Ereshkigal Burst
Ereshkigal teams function similarly to Chain of Falsehood setups. The key differences are that MC doesn't need to cast any skills to activate the Double Strike effect, and the Dark Opus Weapon is no longer required as a main weapon. Additionally, Ereshkigal boosts normal attack damage, further enhancing this playstyle.
