A large portion of your team strength is determined by your weapon grid. Listed below are basic grids for each element, as well as a glimpse at the next step, so you have an idea of how a grid evolves as you progress. This is meant to be a starting point for your grids before you begin tackling harder raids, which will give you better weapons. Depending on your pace, it may not be necessary to fully farm each grid listed below.

Q & A

Q: Wait, what's "Magna"? Omega is known as Magna in Japanese which is commonly used by the community. Beginner Omega grids are sometimes referred to as "M1" for Magna 1. The upgrade to M1 grids unlocked at rank 120 are "M2", or Magna 2. For more terminology, see the Glossary.

Q: How do I tell weapon skills apart? Each weapon skill has a unique icon that shows what it boosts and what modifier it is: - Omega skills have a Ω symbol - EX skills have a EX symbol - Normal skills will have no symbol or will have II or III depending on its strength Some weapons come with unique skill icons like or where you will have to visit the individual weapon wiki page to learn about it, or read about them on this page. As a beginner, you will want one or two EX and Normal attack skills in your grid with the rest of the weapon skills being Omega attack modifiers. For more information, see Weapon Skills or Damage Formula.

General Tips

Free Completion Rewards

• Complete Main Quests to receive uncapped weapons and to unlock raids, free quests, and Side Stories (some of which will allow you to recruit free SSR characters). Clearing at least Chapter 62 Story: Stars Beyond the Sky is recommended to unlock most pre-rank 101 content.
• Clear the free quest Chapter 30 (44/65) Quest: Inchoate World to unlock Arcarum: The World Beyond as soon as possible.
  • Arcarum Passports are required to play Arcarum. One Passport is granted per day, but only after Arcarum is unlocked. Weekly missions require 7 Passports to be used per week, making unlocking Arcarum and using Passports a priority regardless of which stage of the game you're at. The mission arcapoint rewards can be left in the crate until they are needed, and can allow you to bypass the 50,000 holding cap for arcapoints.
• Clear these Side Stories as soon as you can to jump-start your progression:

Side Story	Notable Rewards
	Lyria (Event) (5★) Bahamut Nova Weapon Sword of Bahamut Nova Dagger of Bahamut Nova Spear of Bahamut Nova Axe of Bahamut Nova Staff of Bahamut Nova Pistol of Bahamut Nova Fist of Bahamut Nova Bow of Bahamut Nova Harp of Bahamut Nova Blade of Bahamut Nova x1

For a full list of weapons obtainable from Side Stories, see Side Story Weapons.

• Other notable rewards include Nobiyo from Together in Song which is an easy access drop rate summon which also has a useful call effect and Bellringer Angel from Shadowverse: Duelist of Eternity which has a powerful defensive call. Both of these should not be reduced or reserved as there is no other way to obtain more copies.

How to get Grid Weapons

• To farm a specific raid, use the in-game raid finder.
• Renown Pendants can be used to buy 03 weapons from the Pendant Shop. Items in the Shop are restocked at the top of every month, with the exception of Luminiera Sword Omega, which has a lifetime limit of 10. The amount of pendants you can get per month is limited, so use them wisely.
• Daily Points, earned from the Daily Bonus, can be traded for 03 weapons, including weapons otherwise exclusive to limited-time events like Xeno Clashes and Proving Grounds. Keep in mind these weapons cannot be fully uncapped without participating in the respective event while it is running.

Standard Omega Raids, also known as M1 raids.

How to get EXP / Skill Level Fodder

• Simply participating in the monthly new story event, commonly referred to as "Boxing" events, is the easiest way to acquire 02 and 03 skill fodder. These usually occur at the end of every month.
• The next best way is to do your daily Omega Raids for 02 and 03 fodder and 03 grid weapons.
• Farming Arcarum: The World Beyond will occasionally drop 03 weapons.
• EXP fodder, or Upgraders, can be farmed from the Angel Halo quest.

Grid Optimization

Beginner Tip! A weapon's Skill Level is more important than its EXP Level. Be sure to skill up weapons that you know you will be using for a while!

• Set up a basic grid of 0★ weapons before you uncap them with extra copies. In most cases, uncapping weapons will only give them extra raw ATK and HP, which is generally less valuable than having another of the weapon skill in your grid.
  • i.e. It is better to have four 0★ 03 weapons than a single 3★ 03 weapon.
• Summons that are not your main summon do not have to match the element you are playing. As a beginner, it's better to equip summons that have the highest stats.
• If you hit a wall in progression, leveling up weapon skills is the most effective way of gaining grid strength. However, skill fodder is hard to come by in the early game, so use them wisely.
• Be sure to use Journey Drops for Upgrade EXP and Grand Success Rate whenever upgrading weapons to save on fodder!

Q: What is PWR? Does it matter? PWR, the indicator on the top left of your Home screen, is simply the sum of your weapons' ATK and HP. It doesn't take weapon skills into consideration. It is almost entirely useless as a metric for actual power.

Inventory Management

Reserving and Reducing

• Reserving a weapon with a weapon skill will allow you to level weapon skills of other weapons.
• Reducing a weapon or summon will give you
  
  Weapon Stones
  • Sword Stone
  • Dagger Stone
  • Spear Stone
  • Axe Stone
  • Staff Stone
  • Pistol Stone
  • Melee Stone
  • Bow Stone
  • Harp Stone
  • Katana Stone
  or

  • Dark Quartz
  respectively. These materials will be needed in the future for uncapping items.
• In general, you should only reserve or reduce FARMABLE weapons or summons (i.e. weapons or summons that drop from raids or come from events. This does not generally include Side Story weapons, which are only purchasable a limited number of times from the Side Story's shop).

Premium Draw Weapons

Beginner Tip! Keep your SSR Premium Draw weapons in your crate, or favorite and stash them so you don't accidentally fodder them.

• It is recommended to keep all Premium Draw SSR weapons in your crate, because it acts as infinite storage. If you absolutely must claim your weapons from your crate, it's best to Favorite them and store them in a safe space, such as a stash.
  • Do not combine copies by uncapping them, as some grids require multiple copies of one weapon.
• A majority of the SSR weapons received from pulling in Premium Draw will go unused, especially as a beginner, because their skills are primarily boosted by Optimus SummonsAlso called "Primal" Summons by the playerbase.. Often, both the weapons and the summon must be fully uncapped for best performance in a grid, which requires rare consumable materials like Sunlight Stones and Damascus Ingots.
  • In general, premium draw weapons are not useful in grids that are boosted by Omega Summons.
  • It is not recommended to invest into an Optimus grid until the player has a deep understanding of grid building, to ensure optimal usage of rare uncap materials.

The Power of Amplify

• Seraphic Weapons provide "Amplify" skills. Because of how the Damage Formula works, these boost your final damage, which makes them very strong even at SR rarity.
• Always equip a Seraphic Weapon and sub-aura summons (e.g. Arcarum series) when their in-battle conditions are met (usually, when your team is the advantaged element).
  • When using a character with an "Amplify All Element Allies' Damage" passive in your front row, keep in mind that this effect does not stack with the Seraphic Weapons' "Amplify" skill. Only the highest value takes effect.
• Seraphic Weapons: Acquire these as soon as you're able to.
  • Upgrading the tetra elementFire, Water, Earth, and Wind weapons requires clearing stages of the Primarch Trials, which are limited to 2 attempts daily, with attempts shared across the four elements.
  • Clearing What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost is required to unlock Light and Dark Seraphic weapons.
• Arcarum Summons: Get the SR "Amplify" summon for every element first, upgrading as you go until they are SSR. Then start working on your desired Evoker.
  • It's recommended to work towards finishing The Hanged Man (SSR) first due to Caim's frequent use in Earth setups.

Unlock Dark Fencer

Dark Fencer is a Row III class that unlocks very useful skills that you will use throughout your entire gameplay. Because of this, it's recommended to focus on unlocking the Dark Fencer line first. Afterwards, feel free to unlock the rest of the Row I - III classes as you progress through the game.

Sephira Emerald Dagger	Arcarum: Various Drops	Can be used as a filler Omega ATK modifier for Colo Canes. Can be equipped in your grid while playing through Arcarum, and eventually Sandbox for an extra boost to critical hit rate. This weapon should NOT be purchased with Arcapoints.
Cosmic Rod	Raid: Grand Order (Raid) (Share Chest) Treasure Trade: Cosmos Weapons Heavenly Horn x 30	This weapon comes uncapped to 3★ when obtained Cosmos Weapons are best used when grids consist primarily of the same weapon type (e.g Staves, Swords, Axes, etc.). These weapons are useful filler if you get one, however obtaining a Cosmic Weapon can be cumbersome and go largely unused in most endgame grids. It is not recommended to go out of your way to obtain one. Only one copy of a Cosmos Weapon is needed, feel free to fodder extras. More useful as a grid piece once uncapped to 4★, which is locked behind rank 151.

A fully upgraded and awakened Proving Grounds weapon is stronger as a grid slot than a fully forged Xeno weapon in terms of EX modifiers.
