How to get AA instead of A+ for weapons

[Tanjiro]

Yesterday i reforged my weapons (Hayabusa Set + Hinnomea Kabuto)

First:
- Dragonsword: Change to attack (Heart) A+
- Hayabusa Kusarigama: Change to attack (Dexterity) A+

Now:
- Dragonsword: Change to attack (Heart) AA-
- Hayabusa Kusarigama: Change to attack (Dexterity) AA-

Don't think it makes so a huge difference in damage, but wow !! So let me share this with you:

The way to get is related to luck BUT in first place to materials in use for reforging AND to the fact
u have always to select 3 special effects in one strike.

Switch materials from spirit iron chunk to DIVINE FRAGMENT. Btw. i had only 165 Divine Fragment, so i made once a Backup of my Save Game before reforging. If it doesn't work as u wish - first time i get 2 x AA- Strengh and 2 x Skill AA-. So i loaded my backup again until it works like i want. The sequences for special effects change every time, so just be a bit patient.

Good luck !!

Yep, it also works for familiarity, makes familiarity A+ instead of A. The familiarity is MUCH easier to get than CTA.

Sadly though, the bonus difference for CTA A+ versus AA- is less than 1%, so it’s not really worth the time, money, or effort to savescum out a reforge for it. The difference between familiarity A vs A+ is more significant, so for those weapons without at least 4 slots to work with, pick fam over CTA for the 3-slot-reforge trick. This also works for familiarity, agility, equip weight dmgbonus on ranged as well.

I was overly picky about the CTA AA- vs A+ at one point but now I just don’t have the energy to do it lol.

Correction tho: the sequence does not change. If you reforge 3 slots X amount of times, and load your save, and reforge the same 3 slots the same amount of times new, your rolls will be the same. But if you pick a different combination of slots, they will change.

You are right but i take every advange.
I change sometimes between the selection while reforging. Just select one and then retry with 3 ... So back to my prestige list - some easy point to get and after that ... ABYSS !! bye
