This page contains frequently asked questions regarding preparation for the next Wind-favored Unite and Fight event. It is assumed that Players are at least rank 151 and above and that they have completed Sierokarte's Knickknack Academy.

How many of [x] weapon should I farm?

The specific number of weapon copies and Awakening needed can be found in the following sections on the Advanced Grid pages:


Tiamat Grids:
Core Weapons
Zephyrus Grids:
Notable Farmable Weapons

Which raids should I host daily?

It is recommended that players daily host the following raids for their weapon drops and various other useful materials:

Even if the host is not able to contribute in these raids, they are still very likely to succeed. In particular, the Revans Raids listed above are especially popular due to the weapons and materials required to Mk II Forge a weapon.

Lyria
Host your raids everyday!
Even if you aren't strong enough to do them, with Unite & Fight approaching, many people will join to help out!

How many Revans Mk II weapons should I farm?

Forging a Mk II Revans weapon costs a large amount of materials. For this reason, only weapons that are Attack or Special awakened are recommended to Mk II. The additional stats Defense brings is generally not necessary.

A Mk II weapon is a strict upgrade over its Mk I counterpart. However due to the significant cost to both forge and awaken a Mk II weapon, extra caution should be taken when upgrading a weapon.

Weapon Copies Notes

Sette di Spade Mk II
Mk II Forged
3 - 4
0 - 1
Unforged
2 - 3
  • A strong option for charge attack teams. You will generally use 3 - 4 copies in a grid due to how the weapon skill functions.
  • A Mk IIAttack awakened copy can be a decent filler option for players when raw attack is needed for unboostedGrid setups that do not utilize summon aura boost like Tiamat Omega and Zephyrus setups.

Spada di Vento Mk II
Mk II Forged
1
0 - 2
Unforged
1
  • Primarily used in teams that fulfill the 280% aura requirement.
  • Weapon Awakening makes this weapon a very flexible grid slot depending on what type of boost is needed.
  • Mk IISpecial awakened copies may be used in very specific setups, especially if the teams damage is split across many different damage types.
Vyrn
Yikes, Mk IIs are really expensive!
Let's just prefarm the necessary materials and wait till we're sure before upgrading anything.

Which New World Foundation weapon should I uncap?

Uncapping a New World Foundation Weapon is a necessary step in Uncapping Evokers. Make sure to consider the strength of an Evoker before deciding which weapon to uncap. Check #Evoker Recruitment and Uncapping for more details on the characters themselves.

All New World Foundation Weapons at 5★ provide an EX ATK modifier, 5% DMG Cap and an additional effect unique to each weapon.

Weapon Unique Skill Notes

Theater of Temperance 		 
Hermit-Temperance's AccordWhen main weapon: Massive boost to Wind allies' ATKModifier: EX.
At end of turn: Wind allies who didn't attack gain 100% Sharp ATK Up (1 time)ATK is sharply boosted
Strength: 100%Multiplier: AssassinDuration: 1 turn .

Melody of Judgement 		 
Emperor-Judgement's AwakeningWhen main weapon: Massive boost to Wind allies' ATKModifier: EX.
Wind allies take 1% DMGBased on max HP every turn.
30% Earth DMG reduction.
  • Provides a strong defensive effect at the cost of 1% DMGBased on max HP every turn. Can be used in higher Nightmare difficulty Full Auto teams.
  • If the player has not reforged their Draconic Rod into Prayer of Grand Gales, this weapon can be a strong substitute as it can also be used alongside the Dark Opus Weapon.

Dark Opus Transcendence

Dark Opus Weapons gain small benefits on each step of its Transcendence process. For further details, check Advanced Grids#Dark Opus Transcendence.

The most significant upgrade is at Lvl 250. Wind manual burst setups are very likely to use the Dark Opus as a main weapon with Chain of Falsehood. With the final Transcendence upgrade, the Charge Attack damage from the weapon will be greatly increased.

Draconic Weapon Provenance

Upon reforging Draconic Weapons into their Provenance forms, they can be equipped alongside Dark Opus Weapons. When equipped with Crag Teluma, Draconic Weapons will most notably bring a large amount of defensive utility which will be helpful in higher Nightmare difficulty Full Auto setups.

Melody of Judgement can be used if the player has not yet acquired Prayer of Grand Gales. However, the Draconic Weapon can be seen as almost a strict upgrade as it brings a larger Majesty weapon skill and it will also not deal turn-based DMG to the team.

Eternal Recruitment, Uncapping and Transcending

FAQ

Understanding Drop Rate Boosts

Many players will opt to run extra Drop Rate Boosts when farming Extreme+ and Nightmare Lvl 90 as it will increase the chances that a chest with Bait Chunks or Celestial Weapons will appear. It is important to note that Drop Rate Boosts cap at 300%. See Drop Rate Boosts for further information.

Chest Info:[1][2]

Chest Appearance Rate Chance within Chest Total
Bait Chunk
(Extreme +) 		60%/70%There are two different chests that can contain Bait Chunk - -
Malicious Clump
(Nightmare Lvl 90) 		40% - -
(Nightmare Lvl 90) 1.72% 9.05% 0.156%

Key Takeaways:

  • Campaign i.e. Magfest, can double or quadruple the effects of Journey Drops.
  • The extra chests containing Bait Chunks are guaranteed at 167% Total Drop Rate (×1.67)[3][4]
    • With Crew Buffs and Journey Drops, only a single Kaguya (Summon) is needed to guarantee the chest.
    • If Journey Drop effects are quadrupled, only 5★ Tien is needed.
    • If you have Premium Pass and Journey Drop effects are doubled, only 5★ Tien is needed.
  • The extra chest containing Celestial Weapons cannot be guaranteed even if capping Drop Rate Boosts.
