best blade ,scabbard and gear tips?

[Der Großmann]

l wanna get the blade with the highest dmg output l just don't know which one l should be getting ,same for the other gear ,scabbard with highest gas preassure and so on ,please l need tips

[Tanya]

First game was the zero blade, i hear the solar have a good dmg but im pretty sure the zero blade is going to be the best talking about dmg, the perfected gear is the most balanced(50 less in dmg than the zero blade)

[ExiaBurst]

Solar = max upgrade from the flame sword and omega sword= max upgrade from the alpha sword are the two last sets you unlock are overall really good Solar burns the hole titan while omega is stunning them. But for most DMG is the gunsword the best, but durability is ♥♥♥♥. Some other Gear have also diffrent effects.

Perfected Set

lol

Most balanced

[lusterredux]

Blade- Personal preference. You won't get Perfected until pretty deep into Inferno due to the materials it needs. It's inferior to a number of sets with additional effects or longer blade length. The Gebrullwhatever series and the Heavy Blades are high sharpness weapons that can be acquired relatively easily at the start of inferno. From there, pick whatever you like. I'm using the Tiger Zero series, high sharpness/length. Avoid the Gunblade series, they have high damage but their upkeep is annoying.

Scabbard- Whatever has high blade capacity and can be upgraded easily. After that, preference.

ODM- Whatever has highest anchor range and can be upgraded easily. After that, preference.

Issue is if you choose diffrent scabberd and omni geat to your weapon sure you can go i got best blade. Best movement and loads of sheaths... accept your missing out on item set bonus and some of complete set bonus out preform mix and match

Set bonuses are whatever, the stats given aren't high enough no matter what they are to make them better than high gear stats. The name of the game is to lessen travel time and downtime. There's a single exception to this, and that's if someone is using the Heat Blade, which should probably be paired with its sheath/ODM.

Anchor range, you'll notice. It's a game changer. Equip the Ancient ODM and pop a battle signal on a large, open map. High anchor range lets you traverse huge distances with absurd ease. And then there's being able to capture Titans when you're pretty far away. Those two boons will clear a map quicker than an extra 5 Strength/leadership/agility/concentration/dex/health ever would, multiple times over.

Sheath/canister is less an issue. When you have a map covered in factories, it's probably overkill. Might even be better to just go for gas pressure so you don't have to switch out tanks as often since that takes way too much time wheareas blade switchouts are nearly instant.

As for weapon, it may seem like "only" 50 sharpness, but that really translates to 25 reinforcement levels. A weapon needs to have an effect or a modifier like high blade length to make up for it.

Blades:
Perfect is 750/100/750 and it's the canon look. Also extremely durable.
Cloud Zero is 850/200/470 lets you take out small titans from the front and occasionally kill/damage more than one titan in one sweep.
Gunblade is 900/100/50 so if you want to use it, either make sure you have 100% battle signal uptime, or +99* it so it becomes 1300/100/450 so it's actually usable in inferno.
Haven't had the chance to try out other interesting blades.
Personal preference is Cloud Zero. At +99* it's 1250/200/870

Scabbards:
Perfect is 750/750/3 and it's the canon look. Has balanced stats.
Wave zero at 680/850/2 is for high pressure if you can live with 2 blades.
Demon god at 480/900/3 is for high pressure if you can live with lower capacity and increased detection.
Personal preference is Demon God for higher pressure and an extra blade over wave zero.

ODM:
Perfect is 750/60/750 and it's the canon look
Camellia zero is 930/40/250 for high reel speed but v.low range and anchor strength
Demon god is 900/40/550 for higher anchor strength than camellia zero but at increased detection
Inferno Machinery is 700/95/485 for balanced range and reel speed. It's 9-star but I don't think there's another tier beyond this one.
Ancient/crescent if you want anchor range for open maps. I don't have materials to check the final version but the 9-star Crescent Gear is 410/150/600

Currently on Demon God ODM +99 for its insane airspeed, and you can fight comfortably without gas (!) You need to +99 it for 20 extra range, or if you somehow manage to +99* it it'd be even better at 80 range. Considering switching to ancient/inferno but I don't have their final tier stats yet. If you do use ancient/inferno, you'd probably want to use chain attack to zip between titans because your targeting range is so huge, so you can phase through their body and hit them where it counts.

[Bloodchant]

if you wanna +99* something other than weapons you're going to need A LOT i mean A LOT of materials cause you have to +99 other weapons of the same quality and then use that on the +00* weapon for every +95 you use on a +00* you'll get +19* so uh ya......

[Spectacular_Insanity]

I personally favor the Perfected set, in terms of overall stats. The blade count is only an issue in protracted boss battles, from what I've observed. I don't have everything 99 yet, but I will one day.

Just an update to my previous posts, as I (and others) have had a chance to test other weapons out more in-depth since.

Solar (full set) is likely the highest DPS in the game with the proper build. The Scabbard/ODM both are best-in-class just taking into account their stats alone. You don't lose anything by running the full 3/3 Solar set (which is a good thing, as Solar Sword needs to be 3/3 to be effective).

If you're playing optimally (abusing Manufacturing Factories and Battle Alert Signals), you'll find that both the Durability stat on Blades as well as the Max Blade stat on Scabbards are irrelevant. There's a couple DLC missions where the Gunblade might not be a great option, but even it's viable otherwise.

Judge Blades based on:

Sharpness = Effect (effect dependant) > Blade Length > > > Durability

Sharpness is the obvious important stat on Blades. Blade effects are important too... if that effect is on Solar/Gebrüllsäge. Blade Length is nice to have, with no real downsides. Durability, as mentioned previously, can be almost wholly ignored.

Judge Scabbards based on:

Gas Pressure = Gas Capacity > > Max Blades

The effect of Battle Alert Signal should always be active on you. If it's not, you're heavily handicapping yourself. Taking that into account, you may still have to change a tank out during a mission if you're using a low capacity Scabbard... maybe. This should be avoided at all costs, since tank switchouts are slow and time consuming. Gas Pressure is self-explanatory (go fast), and Max Blade capacity can be ignored for the same reasons given for Blade Durability.

Judge ODMs based on:

Anchor Range = Reel Speed > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Anchor Strength

Both Anchor Range and Reel Speed directly influence your travel speed and battle speed and in general translate to "go faster". Anchor Strength isn't a useless stat, per se, but compared to the other two it is.

This setup for very fast and efficient killing:
- Shadow Falcon= Chance to insta kill, fast combo, low weapon lenght but i dont see a problem with that
- Demon God Scabbard: High pressure for fast movement
- Demon God Gear: High reel speed, anchor range is low but u want to be close up and personal with the Titans right
