Spirit Weapon questions

[ADVENT Testiculator]

Alright so I got a new spirit weapon to use as a secondary, but that doesn't mean I don't want it to be good. I turned a muramasa into a spirit weapon, (female sword spirit) but now I have loads of questions. What do the stats on the info of the spirit like intelligence and strength mean etc.? Is it just like raising your own stats? Also what items are easy to grind to feed to my spirit weapon?

At hight levels spirit weapons are the most powerful in the game. Without god weapons being close because of speical abilities.

Gems are the best food, from metallurgy, though exactly which gems depends on the spirits type/gender. Diamonds are universally good, but give such a high stat xp, you can't really use them until like level 20+ in all stats, otherwise you waste a lot of the potential xp.

Skill xp is capped to keep you from building them up too quickly, so it's best to focus on the smallest gems, 3-4 stat gems you can get in order to raise the spirit efficiently. (with exception to diamonds, the more stats a gem gives xp to the lower the individual xp is per stat, but also makes it easier to control how much xp the weapon is getting).

Though most people agree that aside from a Spirit Fire Wand, Spirit weapons just aren't worth it anymore. they need to be around 50+ level just to compete with other much easier to acquire weapons.

they're fun to use though (especially popping their Awakening skill), don't get me wrong on that, but they're far from the be all end all they used to be.
