This page contains information on what to prepare in regards to the next Light-favored Unite and Fight event, along with answers to frequently asked questions about the event.

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:


Luminiera Grids:
Core Weapons
Zeus Grids:
Notable Farmable Weapons

Which raids should I host daily?

Standard Raids

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 meaningfully in these raids, they are still very likely to succeed.

Even though the Odious weapons and summons are not currently used in Optimus grids, players should still host the raids for future material usage.

Revans Raids

The following Revans raids are recommended to host. These will be more popular than usual due to the weapons and materials requred to Mk II Forge a weapon.

How many Revans Mk II weapons should I farm?

Forging a Mk II Revans weapon costs a large amount of materials. For this reason, Attack or Special awakening should be prioritized over Defense as the defensive gains are relatively minor.

A Mk II weapon is a strict upgrade over its Mk I counterpart. However, fully upgrading a Mk II weapon requires over five times the materials needed over its Mk I version. As such, extra caution should be taken when upgrading a weapon.

Weapon Copies Notes

Symmetria Mk II
Mk II Forged
0 - 1

Unforged

  • A farmable source of Tempering for Optimus grids that also provides defensive boosts.
  • It directly competes with other premium options such as Radiant Rinne and White Sword of Splendor.
  • This weapon will find little to no use in Omega setups.

Concordia Mk II
Mk II Forged

0 - 1
  • Attack awakening has been used as a strong raw ATK options in Omega teams. Typically saw use in single-sided or unboosted setups.
  • Has seen use as a main weapon for Manadiver however it competes with Exo Heliocentrum.

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.

At Lvl 210, Dark Opus Weapons can be equipped with Pendulum of Extremity, Pendulum of Sagacity and Pendulum of Supremacy. All are likely to be used in Unite and Fight setups.

At Lvl 230, Dark Opus Weapons gain an aura-boostable general damage amplification modifier.

At Lvl 250, the maximum skill level increases to Lvl 25. The charge attack is also upgraded to unworldly damage which may be useful in teams that use the Dark Opus as a main weapon, e.g. Fighter Origin.

Draconic Weapon Provenance

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

In Nightmare Lvl 250 setups, upgraded Draconic weapons can be used in the additional slots in Party Set Extra teams, allowing for more gridbuilding options.

For players that have obtained 5★ Doombringer Bow, Salvation Teluma can be used if extra defense is needed.

Destroyer Weapons

Destroyer Weapons are an incredibly potent addition to grids for the offensive and defensive benefits they provide. These weapons can be equipped in the additional slots in Party Set Extra teams and they gain sizeable upgrades on each uncap.

  • At 3★, the weapon only provides MC with Bonus Destruction DMG on normal attacks and charge attacks. It is unlikely to be used on this step.
  • At 4★, the weapon now provides teamwide Bonus Destruction DMG on N.A. and C.A. Additionally, an Anklet can be equipped, however it will only affect MC. At this step, the weapon can be an upgrade in certain team setups.
  • At 5★, the Bonus Destruction DMG value is increased and the Anklet now affects the entire team. At this step, this weapon is best-in-slot for all team setups. The anklet effect combines the Ultima Weapon's Gauph Key Tria and the Draconic Weapon's defensive capabilities, while also providing more offensive benefits alongside these effects.

Eternal Recruitment, Uncapping and Transcending

What Nightmare Difficulty should I farm?

Choosing which Nightmare Difficulty to farm will come down to what your goal is. If you want Celestial Weapons, you will want to farm Nightmare Lvl 90, whereas if you want more honors, farming the highest Nightmare difficulty available will yield the best meat/time to honor ratio.

However, if the more difficult fights are taking too long to kill or are too difficult to clear, moving to a lower difficulty may provide better results.

Use the calculator below to figure out which fight is most efficient for honor gain. Don't forget to also consider the time taken to menu in between fights.

Raid Honors Minutes Seconds Honors per Hour
EX+ 127,600 N/A
NM90 310,000 N/A
NM95 910,000 N/A
NM100 2,650,000 N/A
NM150 4,100,000 N/A
NM200 20,250,000 N/A
NM250 75,250,000 N/A

How to get Chests of Good Fortune

You can obtain a total of 60 Chests of Good Fortune per event. 10 can be obtained from the Event missions. The remaining 50 can be farmed from the following quests:

  • Nightmare Lvl 95 (Host only)
  • Nightmare Lvl 100 (Host only)
  • Nightmare Lvl 150
  • Nightmare Lvl 200
  • Nightmare Lvl 250

If you are struggling to find all 50 chests, farming Nightmare Lvl 95 is recommended as it is the easiest and fastest quest to clear.

How do I farm Celestial Weapons?

Celestial Weapons drop from every Nightmare fight. Although the drop chance gradually increases per Nightmare difficulty lvl, the quickest way to get Celestial Weapons is to farm Nightmare Lvl 90 as the fights are very short.

You will want to stack as much Drop Rate Boosts as you can without significantly slowing down your setup. Further information on specific drop rates can be found in the section below.

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.
