Zani Weapon or Bant Weapon

[LordDuke]

So finally i got Phoebe (after losing her on the 50% after Zani) and now i have to decide what weapon get... My current main team (still leveling building Zani+Phoebe team) is Changli (main DPS) with Brant SubDPS and Shorekeeper.

The weapon banner its near pitty so wich would be the "best" option, both weaps upgrade significantly their current character. Dont have too muchs astrites to farm (currently farming 100% on all maps xD). Maybe i could pick both (if the second one doesnt go to the pitty) but i would like to stack a few astrite for another character (like Carlotta).

Thanks for the Help.

Zani works 'well enough' with the standard 5* gauntlet. It's far from her best or second best option, but you won't handicap yourself by not having it. Brant is in a weird place where his signature is the only 5* that works for him, because of his dependency on Energy Regen for his skills and scaling. The default 5* is technically his best 5* alternative since it has the ER skill, but that skill only reaches notably high bonuses for him if you've ranked that weapon up 3 or 4 times. And without that his only other alternative is the 4* ER sword, which does basically nothing to help him otherwise. If you want to play Brant as a DPS and not as a fusion support, you're kinda locked into his signature to make him playable in that role at all.

Currently got the 4* Overture (r1) with Brand, with Zani got the 5* from the permanent (was using that with Xiangli yao xD).

As I mentioned, if you don't mind running Brant primarily for his healing and shield Overture is fine, but he'll do like less than half of his damage than he does with his signature at rank 1. If you pulled Brant to be a DPS on your team, you should definitely consider his sig.

It entirely depends on who you use and want to use as your main dps unit. I don't know enough about Zani, so I am a bit biased, but Brant does a lot more damage with his weapon. As Seth said, he does well enough with Overture, but he really shines with his sig. I'd *probably* recommend Zani's weapon first if you want to get both though, since with how reruns are set up, Brant is set to get one before her outside of the anniversary. That's just speculation though.

My honest recommendation is Brant's sig because he's one of the unfortunate many characters who's kinda sig reliant, but that might be my bias shining through.

Go for Zani's and hope you can get lucky for Brant's after. You can use the free 5* sword they give with aero rover bonuses in the story. It has enough ER so you can reach the 250% to run tidebreaking set with er rolls on 4pcs with double ER 3s. That sword & the standard 5* both are 587 attack vs the 412 attack of Brant's signature so attack % bonuses and basic attack rolls would be more beneficial than when used with his signature which relies on basic attack buffs it has to offset the low base attack.

The benefit that the signature has over a R4-5 standard is that you can use 1 ER 1 FUSION 3 cost and reach 87% fusion bonus with tidebreaking instead of 57% bonus, so even though it is an attack loss vs the standard 5* or the free story 5* it is offset by that extra fusion damage you can get and then the basic attack buff they throw in to compensate for it being a lower base attack weapon is a cherry on top when running him as main even if you say already have 40-50% basic bonus from echo rolls diminishing the value of the basic buff on the signature.

Zani wp is more value since most dps character can use it, Brant wp is huge change for him but only him can use it so it depend on you

Thanks for the help. I'll farm some astrites till the end of the banner and see if i can pull for both, i was thinking for getting one weap and try Carlotta but since i have to win the 50% and i lost every 50%.... going for 2 weaps it's more "secure" xD.

Does anyone know if they are going to add new events after this pahse 1 ends? xD.
