Ultima weapon bug?

[KazzizzaK]

Hi, in my playthrough of the ng+ I upgraded the Crimson Blitz sword to the max, the problem is at the end of the game, when you convert it to the Ultima Weapon, for some reason it didn't get any strenght improvements.

In the first playthrough after it becomes the ultima weapon it gets 5000 physical damage, and when it downgrades to Crimson Blitz in the ng+ the physical damage is around 2500 more or less, when I improved it and after all the missions it had 4400 strenght, but when it converted to ultima weapon the physical damage got stuck at 4400 and didnt get any kind of improvements, did you have that same problem or something?

I would not worry about it too much as it was made to help your first run for the final boss as you would get better in ng+.

Ultima only gives 2500 points in STR, same as a fully upgraded Crimson Blitz, so it's pretty normal that you wouldn't see a difference. If the 5000 you mentioned earlier was Lightning's STR stat when fully equipped, you probably had some accessory and/or garb ability that gave you some +% STR which you don't have now, and so your STR stat is lower.
