What element on my +S knux

So I have a 236+S ns 5th anniv VII Knuckles
(No points for guessing how I got it to +S)

• What to stat?
• Code:

  Type : Weapon
  
  Original Potential : 46
  
  Starting Potential : 89
  
  STEP #1: % stronger against Earth +17    x1
  
  STEP #2: Natural HP Regen %-10, Natural MP Regen %-5, DEF %-10, MDEF %-10    x1
  
  STEP #3: % stronger against Earth +3, Fire Element +1, MATK % +10, INT % +10    x1
  
  Success rate: 96%

• This has a success rate of 96 (IM10EleFireDtearth20)
• Should I gamble the stats or should I go for INT 9%?
• Also, I don't think CSPD 20% is useful on a LUK mage since no high base CSPD.
• What element should I stat it with? I might not get a +S elemental Knux again, so I want to be careful - what element should I awaken and DTE to?

1. Ivy?
2. Venomsch?
3. Blue Bubble?
4. Underground Nemico?

 

• If a stat is meant to fail? It'll fail even at 99% xD
• Depends, do you need that high base damage? Or do you need that additional dte?
• CSPD would be useful if; as you said, you have decent base cspd (it is essentially (%) part of base cspd you have)

If its solely for farming, take into consideration :
• What mob you plan to farm most?

Or​

• What is most common element that majority shares? (Incase you want to farm multiple mobs).

Note :
..not much answers, but hope it helps narrow down your choices xD

 

• What mob should I farm the most?
• I was thinking that if I have a +S weapon I might be able to kill Venomsch and Nemico without DTE anyway so I would invest in killing Ivy.
• However Bubble Angel is something I would love to farm, and since SS is the most valued every Summer, it might be better to plan for the next Summer and go Wind ele.
• But if the build isn't enough and I can't one shot blue bubble anyway then it would have been better to just go for Fire ele.

 

• Depends on your need, mostly? BB seems the all-rounder, it gives metal, cloth and mana, and is almost always populated.
• Whatever you think is best x3
• Point.
• Well..most farming pt use brave aura and other buffs too, so that will automatically increase your dmg, and since everyone just spams their atks; l dont think it'll be noticable if you 1 shot or not..
Again..pt does provide good buffs..

 

Note :
Going along that route, most of your mats are covered by water mob..
BB = metal, cloth and mana.
Finpen = Beast, med, cloth.
The only mat not covered is wood..
So..mobs with potentially all the mats or mob with just 1 mat :b ?
I think the choice is obvious..

 

Truly there's only 2 good options.

DTE Earth for Pojo and Ivy
or
DTE Water for Summer Shell farming.

If you see this video, you don't really need +S

Since you may be able to combo your Storm into smite although DTE arm was used too
I currently use Slide and Backstep as combo openers. Impact works too

In my opinion I would recommend you get another and refine to +B first then 1s it, then make it Fire Ele DTE Earth. Pojo and Ivy still have people in them. BB is mostly an HB spot and Storms are discriminated there.
Keep your +S and stat it with DTE Water when Summer Event is upclose again. Don't wanna waste that +S Knux.

That's just my opinion tho

Since I see you often in the forums anyways, I can lend you one of mine if you wanna test it yourself before you push through with anythin, Idk if there's a PM function here but we can contact on Discord

 

Thanks for the input, I'll see to it.
I saw the video just before I came here - quite the coincidence.

• It appears poi uses DTE armour as well and Iron Empress on all of them - quite expensive!
• With Smite I can oneshot Most mobs - that's not a problem. Backstep is a good skill in that regard.
• I'll probably use +S for my Brawler then, or maybe save it for more in the future!

 

If you really want to be versatile on farming mobs, why not double the dte (might be a great loss if it's a gamble and failed). Isn't it enough if you deal +20% damage to both elements: assumingly, water or earth?

But if you really want to commit to an awaken element, I recommend fire element dte earth because knowing that summer event thingy... probably wind element dte water knuckles are so cheap that time.

[Note: if you want to commit to awaken+dte, ask yourself if it's worth enough because sometimes even awaken+dte isn't enough to 1-hit storm mobs so it's like the same level of a neutral no dte+S main weap]

 

I tested just now using a neutral Arm, IM10 I15 CSPD20 +Iron Emp
My Ele DTE20 IM10 knux is 1s but I havent attached an xtal yet, im planning Finstern
With Impact Smite Storm I can almost 1 hit the mobs with Brave Aura

This is considering I dont have an xtal on the knux yet
and that my Int is still 255 since I haven't leveled it up as high yet

If you have xtal on knux, or more Int which means more Matk
or just more Matk from ring and add
You may be able to one shot Bubble Angel even with a neutral armor

Steps

Weapon - Potential: 89
#1. DEF % -10 MDEF % -10 Natural HP Regen % -10 Natural MP Regen % -5 (430pot)
#2. Fire Element +1 % stronger against Earth +10 MATK % +10 INT % +10 (-59pot)
Success Rate: 100%
You want this stat right?

 

As the other guy said its between dte water(bubble and venomsch notable) or earth(ivy and pojo notable). If you can get a high attack wind ele knux on the current event, you can probably get away with statting it to fire ele - dte earth
