Fell Arms in NG+ and beyond

[Pink Steel Drills™]

Question for anybody that knows 100% for absolute, an answer would be greatly appreciated .
Once you've completed a game, you've got the fell arms, buy the fell arms GRADE shop option for them, beat the the game again, and do the same thing; will the weapons retain their prior stats , or will their stats always reduce to 0 at the beginning of a playthrough no matter what ?
I apologize for this poorly worded question .

I just finished my game, inherit the fell arms power as well as items. yuri has over 4700 atk with his fell arm at level 5

You have 2 options.

1. Transfer unlocked state of weapons. This doesnt transfer them by thmeselves.
2. Transfer items. This does transfer the weapons.

Weapon stats always reset, kills I mean. My yuri has P.ATK from 128 -> 4530 just by equipping blazor edge abyssion. Even though it's stats.... are 0.

So grab the 1st one, use cheat engine to spawn them into the inventory and voila. Perfect for merciless unknown difficulty

Pink Steel Drills, incase you never got the answer you were searching for, if you use every option in the Grade Shop that lets you carry over weapons and anything weapon related (including the transfer of all items) you can carry over all the Fell Arms and have them transfer over in their fully awakened state, I've done so just with the Grade Shop.
