  • 5-star weapons generally offer higher base stats and more powerful abilities than 4-star weapons.
  • For characters that rely on Elemental Skills and Bursts, weapons that boost Elemental DMG or Energy Recharge can be very effective.
  • Weapons that increase ATK or CRIT stats are generally good all-around choices.
