    Yes, Buster will always crit, as for the weapon, you would have like 600 atk difference +32% more cdmg vs 39% elemental advantage. I'd say 2 slotted +S is still better.

    To make it neater:
    Assuming base atk is 3k
    Written as: (cdmg)*(elemental)

    Ele sword multiplier: 2.08*1.39=2.89

    C18 sword multiplier: 2.4*1=2.4

    But, the 2 xtal sloted C18 sword has 600 atk advantage, assuming the boss has 1000 def, the base damage would be:
    Ele sword: 3000-1000=2000
    C18 sword=3600-1000=2600

    The total damage output(base)*(multipliers)
    Ele sword=2000*2.89=5780
    C18 sword=2600*2.4=6240

    As you can see c18 +S sword would still have more damage output by about 8%. So In term of cost to benefit ratio, an elemental sword is still really good, altough you really need to use different sword for each element boss, and it doesn't work on neutral bosses. The lower the def of the enemy the lesser the difference is. The more base atk you have (excluding the sword) the difference would also smaller

    Buster will always crit. Even on Megiston's phase where nothing would crit.
    No new MQ boss has dropped a better 2h than Lil Empress, but we won't know what recipes Aso will release next month.

    What? I said that there hasn't been any 2h with higher base than Lil Empress. Aside from event drops and minibosses because they're not gonna be player craftable.

    Good sword. Would need 2s +A-S compensate damage lose. also dropping berserk too, but would need to make sure you have good ampr option.

    Can't you shuffle around gears to compensate? I removed certain gears mainly crit rate so the sword can carry melee proration and hits where as the gear is mainly atk% and cdmg where ever I can smuggle it

    2h never really needed crit rate gear with Berserk and Astute anyway. Though I'm using a ccdcd17 arm because it's usable by multiple classes.
    As for gears, I myself am using Carbuncle Edge and Nodate Potum for fighting against Empress (that magic res xD). Pretty sure Tyrant Mask could also be good for other situations such as against physical bosses.
