Grid Weapons

Weapons Overview

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

Fundamental Pieces

These are core pieces to making an Optimus Light grid. It is strongly recommended to have these before investing.

Manual Burst / Short Content	High Difficulty / Long Content
Bullet Loadout Recommendation: Low Priority Highly benefits from Orologia (Summon) for Sumaibito buff count.	Replacements: Downgradable to Lancet. Low Priority Replacements: Downgradable to other C.A. specs weapons, such as Diaitesia or Certificus
These weapons can favor a certain playstyle over others. Feel free to prioritize one section over another depending on your preferred playstyle.

Contextual / Niche Pieces
2nd 2nd Rinne is used mainly for the additional TA boost. Downgradable to Symmetria Mk II. For some Ura setups. For some Ura setups. 3rd 2nd Replacements: A strict downgrade over Ameno Habakiri. Downgradable to Sacred Standard.
These weapons have situational or niche applications. Careful investment should be considered.

Premium Extensions
Orologia (Summon) recommended. Used as a grid piece for slot compression (Crit + TA). A strict upgrade over Greatbow Rondor. Trade with a Superlative Pick Ticket. Spending Gold Moons is not recommended
Premium options and related weapons for players who want to go even deeper into Light.

Core Grid Weapons

Weapons that form the core foundation of many setups.

Weapon

Copies

Notes

Efes

2 - 3

A weapon that forms the core of nearly all Optimus setups due to its powerful Optimus Exalto weapon skill.
Typically, 2 copies of this weapon will be used to meet the the 280% aura requirement found on
Dark Rapture Zero Pendulums
and
Anklets
.
A 3rd copy can see niche usage for single-sided setups that do not run other aura-boosting summons or characters.
Provides General DMG Amp. to critical hits. Due to the strength of this modifier, many Optimus setups will run grids that consistently crit.
See #Exalto & Aura Boost for further information on utilizing sources of aura boost.

Harmonia

2

A foundational grid piece for many Optimus setups.
2 copies are utilized frequently for their unconditional 50,000 supplemental damage and 7% damage cap per copy.

Canifortis

2

A normal attack focused weapon that adds 50,000 supplemental N.A. DMG on a different frame than Harmonia's General DMG Supplemental.
The Athos weapon skill functions similarly to Pendulum of Extremity, but still provides boosts even if the conditions are not fully met.
- Canifortis ×1 and Pendulum of Extremity or Canifortis ×2 will cap the weapon skill value.
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.

White Sword of Splendor

1 - 2

A weapon that supplements skill DMG by 100,000 on a different frame than Harmonia's General DMG Supplemental, while also being capable of dealing additional skill damage itself.
The additional skill hit can help with omens that require hit counts.
Provides crit which synergizes with other core weapons.
Lacks multiattack which can make it more difficult to fit in 2 copies.

Radiant Rinne

1 - 2

Light's boostable supplemental skill DMG weapon with natural synergy with Harmonia.
1 copy can be replaced by Symmetria in certain setups that want more defensive utility.
The Tempering weapon skill requires summon aura boost to properly utilize.
- 2 copies cap out the grid max Skill DMG Supplemental value at 200,000 with double aura boost.

Sword of Repudiation

-

Dark Opus Weapons form a core component of all grids due to the significant offensive and defensive power they provide.
They are an extremely efficient grid slot, while also offering a high degree of versatility through its skill keys.
- See #Choosing Pendulums and Chains for information on which weapon skill keys are typically used.

Sword of Renunciation

-

Typically used to prevent frequently swapping keys on the Optimus Dark Opus.

Additional Weapons

Weapons that are more commonly seen in specialized setups.

Weapon

Copies

Notes

Bodhicitta Hammer

1 - 2

The Convergence mod requirement is very easily fulfilled thanks to Efes, Sword of Repudiation and White Sword of Splendor all being swords and staple weapons.
A very strong addition to Charge Attack focused teams thanks to Onslaught and Porthos.
This weapon will most likely see heavy usage in High Difficulty setups, where charge attack-focused setups tend to shine. In the case of Light, this weapon is a great addition to the prominent Chain of Falsehood Fighter Origin setup.
The Porthos weapon skill functions similarly to Pendulum of Supremacy, but still provides boosts even if the conditions are not fully met.
- Bodhicitta Hammer ×1 and Pendulum of Supremacy or Bodhicitta Hammer ×2 will cap the weapon skill value.

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.
- Boost stacks with multiple copies.

Eden

1

A strong general raw attack weapon with Multiattack awakening.
Previously grids stacked this weapon, but the extra copies have since been replaced with weapons that provide more grid diversity and utility.

Equilibrium Tannenwand

1

Seasonal Limited - Zooey (Holiday)

A weapon tailored for use in endgame charge attack setups.
Brings HP, DEF, Healing Cap, and Supplemental Charge Attack DMG.

Greatbow Rondor

1

A weapon that provides multiattack and crit.
A strict downgrade over Ameno Habakiri (Light).

Imperious Fury

1 - 2

Provides 40% EX ATK, 25% DEF, and 7% Special DMG Cap Up based on allies' max HP at battle start. See Vitality for further information.
- Boost stacks with multiple copies.

Notes

Celestial Weapons

Limited Event Weapon

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.
See Advanced Grids#Celestial Weapons for more guidance.

Ultima Weapons

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 1st key affects only characters with proficiencies that match the weapon. Commonly used keys include Gauph Key of Strife and Gauph Key of Strength.
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.
See Advanced Grids#Ultima Weapons for more guidance.

World Weapons

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.

Notes

Golden Fists of Ura

Niche

Ura's usage ranges from normal-attack burst setups to quick full autos.
Shines the most in content where the MC is targeted often to fully utilize its strong counter effects.

Futsunomitama

Niche

Futsunomitama functions essentially as a more powerful and premium mainhand version of Ivory Ark.
Currently shines most in very short content with Orologia (Summon) or longer content where players can fully utilize its effects from stacking ThunderstruckMultiattack rate is lowered based on lvl (Max: 10 / Can't be removed)

Light Specific Summons

These are some noteworthy summons that are used specifically in Light setups outside of the standard Beelzebub, Belial, and Arcarum Summons.

Summon	Notes
Zeus	Optimus skill boosting summon. Lvl 230 and lvl 250 are aura boosting breakpoints.
Metatron (Summon)	Increases DMG Cap for Light allies.
Lu Woh (Summon)	Optimus skill boosting sub-summon. Useful for single and double sided aura-boosted setups for boosting important weapon skills.
Mars (Summer)	Provides multi-turn Supp. N.A. DMGNormal attack DMG dealt is supplemented Strength: 50,000Duration: 3 turns and 20% Bonus Light DMGDeals bonus light DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks Strength: 20%Duration: 3 turns. Sub-aura can be useful in activating Efes's Zion's StratagemBig amplifying boost to light allies' critical hit DMG.

Summon	Notes
Artemis	Used in burst setups by providing 35% Bonus Light DMGDeals bonus light DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks Strength: 35%Duration: 1 turn , 100% DA UpDouble attack rate is boosted Strength: 100%Duration: 1 turn , and 50% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted Strength: 50%Duration: 1 turn for 1 turn. Gives more HP for fullfilling Imperious Fury's Golden Vitality weapon skill.
Halluel and Malluel (Summon)	A useful call that inflicts EverbaneBoost to DMG taken / HP is lowered on every turn (Can't be removed) Strength: 20% / 1% of Max HPDuration: IndefiniteDamage cap: 30,000 / 100,000Local status effect. Sub-aura is useful to guarantee multiattacks for certain core characters.
Fairy Princess	Useful in burst setups. Provides 50,000 general supplemental damage when you are above 80% HP. A stronger Belial if the condition is met. The two summons do not stack.

Grid Templates

It's important to adjust your grid depending on the content you wish to tackle. The grids listed below are serve a general guidelines and should be adapted to what you have available.

Many grid templates will reach 280% aura boost as that is a key break point in optimized grids. This is to activate the powerful bonuses granted by Dark Rapture Zero Pendulums (e.g. Pendulum of Extremity) and Anklets (e.g. Anklet of Oblivion). This threshold is easily met in double-sided setupsSetups with Aura Boosts as both main and support summon, however for single-sided setups, extra consideration is needed.

See #Exalto & Aura Boost for further information.

Single Sided 280% Aura Boost Examples

	+		+	\|Transcendence Lvl 5	+		= 290%
(30% × 2 = 60%)		20%		170%		40%

	+	\|Transcendence Lvl 5	+		= 280%
(30% × 3 = 90%)		170%		≥20%

Normal Attack teams tend to be the best burst and Full Auto setups due to their speed. However, compared to Skill or Charge Attack damage, Normal Attacks require more grid investment to reach high damage.

Normal Attack setups leverage the strong synergy between modifiers like Bonus DMG (Echoes), Supplemental Damage, Flurry, and Multistrike.

Main Summon

Zeus 6★

Support Summon

Zeus 6★

Main Summon

Elemental ATK

Support Summon

Zeus 6★

Skill damage usually plays a supplementary role in Normal Attack and Charge Attack setups rather than being a team's sole focus. As a result, skill damage boosting weapons are often used alongside N.A. and C.A. weapons.

Main Summon

Zeus 6★

Support Summon

Zeus 6★

Charge Attack setups focus on high damage per turn and often outperform Normal Attack setups in this regard. Additionaly, at a lower grid investment, Charge Attack teams still perform well, unlike Normal Attack setups. However, they are slower in Full Auto due to longer animations and in manual setups, Lockout is a concern.

Charge Attack teams are commonly used in high difficulty raids where consistency matters more than speed.

Main Summon

Zeus 6★ or Elemental ATK

Support Summon

Zeus 6★

Comment: Due to Lights available critical hit weapons, building a proper Charge Attack focused grid can lead to awkward levels of crit.

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.

Normal Attack Burst

These setups will typically employ the use of Chain of Falsehood which provides 20% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
Strength: 20%. Some setups may also use the Dark Opus Weapon as a main weapon to utilize the Double StrikeAttacks twice each turn
granted on Charge Attack. Characters and summons that provide Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
to the rest of the party, deal high normal attack damage through modifiers such as Sharp ATK UpATK is sharply boosted
Assassin (Buff) or DMG AmplifiedDMG for normal attacks and counterattacks is amplified
, provide an alternative source of Double StrikeAttacks twice each turn
, or increase their normal attack hit count with FlurryNormal attacks deal multi-hit DMG to random foes
effects are typically preferred.

Light's Normal Attack burst teams are typically designed around Nehan due to the very potent buffs he provides to the rest of the team, including Guaranteed TAGuaranteed triple attack regardless of Triple Attack Lowered debuffs
, Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
, and Double StrikeAttacks twice each turn
. This allows the rest of the characters in the party and MC class selection to be fairly flexible, focusing on options that provide even more sources of Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
or strong raw damage buffs.

To maximize this skill, classes like Soldier and Relic Buster are frequently used for their Instant Attack abilities. Soldier rotations are preferred for faster raids while Relic Buster is used for slower rooms when more damage is needed. Compared to other light burst setups, Florence rotations are typically slower, but offer greater damage output.

Raid Setups

	Important - Read Me! The setups below serve as examples of ways to clear or farm a raid. You should think of them as: "this worked for someone" instead of "this is what you have to do." Not being able to reproduce these setups doesn't mean you can't do the raid! Instead, use them as inspiration to build your own! For more info, including how to play around missing certain pieces, check the Advanced Grids FAQ.
