Yea I don't remember the number he said, I was too lost in all the possibilities for sets and weapons now. Mine certainly can't go any higher than 24. And yes, the level numbers are pretty meaningless
It doesn't seem like Teostra Technique on Safi weapons is worth it, at least on Hammer. I get way better output by using two Sharpness V's to ditch the Handicraft 4 Charm. I have Attack, CE, CB, WEX, Agitator, and Blast all maxed and I could fit PP 3 with better decos. I'm not sure what other skills I would benefit from by shaving off one piece of Teostra armor at the cost of an Attack V upgrade.
This is correct. I'm pretty sure the level pertains to how many stars the weapon has.
Teo's Tech on the weapon seems to only be worth it if you want another set bonus (usually Safi's).
Turns out armor pieces don't actually need great skills built in when the slots are good enough. Who knew?
Element goes great with master touch. Not to mention that teo armor is pretty good
I'm on the squad session if anyone wants to join. Updated the threadmark as well.

Im gonna try a safi/gold rath set for divine 5 instead of masters touch. Sharp6/5 and attack555 sounds better to me than masters touch with longsword
Alright, I'll join in 10 minutes or so. Mercedes is my in-game name. Would love to join the ERA squad as well.
It helps that Teo armor already has good base skills (CE, WEX). The only piece I wanted to strip out would be the arms, but as you said, the slots are pretty good. Plus the Blast skill actually works with the Shattercrusher. I do want to try and make Narga set bonus work on bowguns but most of them seem to need a capacity and deviation upgrade so I'm not sure if it will work out.
I actually have Vitality 3 on that set and could prob add Divine 3 with better decos or switching out Vitality.
(Just imagine it's a Safi Lance with a bunch of purple, a bit of poison, a point in Teo's Tech, and 290 raw).
Furor/Vitality can be switched out for Ironwall+ to get Guard 5 or Furor+ for an extra 5 raw. Or switch the Vitalities to Crit Eyes so you can replace the Affinity Aug with a level 2 Attack aug (or just two Attack Boosts I guess). Can also trade a Furor for a Shield depending on the Monster.
Damn this is good.
For charge blades users, the meta is shaking out to be: the awakening for status weapons should be 5x attack and for elemental weapons should be 5x elemental up.
For armor, the current MT armor works still for status weapons and 5pc Safi for elemental weapons.

For elemental, are the Safi weapons always the best choice regardless of element?
Because it'll take some work to top the Beo CB.
Just going full ham on Attack on Greatsword seems to be the way to go. You get 320 true raw with plenty of white sharpness. You can put in atk up IV charm instead of handicraft IV charm and deal equivalent or better damage.
It is equal or better than every single elemental greatsword that I use for my crit draw sets as well.

Unconfirmed still. Seems like testing is going on now in the mathalos nest.
But if you take the ice Safi CB and awaken only element and then do everything you would typically do for the beo, I think you end up with something around 850 - 900 element which is slightly less than the beo.
But Safi weapons have pretty good base atk and sharpness, so......it could be a wash?
I'm reading this again i'm not seeing why they are saying you turned off system or close app just quit the game and not save.
I currently got a Paralysis Swaxe, and already awakened it a little bit (level 14). Not sure if I should stick with it or wait for a Blast Swaxe instead.
Also not sure what to think of the Safi LBGs. I got a frost one and while it has RF on frost ammo, it also has huge deviation, large recoil and slow reload, and you need at least three mods of each to bring them back to acceptable levels. I don't have the mats to check, but I hope these are things you can improve by awakening it further.

I've fully awakened the Safi thunder bow with four Element V and one Element VI. Now to augment it and awaken the other bows.
I did the thunder bow first because it's a major upgrade over the Tobi bow, but the other ones are apparently only marginally better.

When's the right time to jump during Ecliptic meteor? I'm not managing to pull it off.
Is it when Behemoth touches the ground? or when the meteor is about to crash? or is it before all that?
I'm doing it just before Behemoth touches the ground with his forearms.

It's been a long time since I played that fight but I remember always looking for the meteor to drop. I never watched the behemoths animations as an indicator. I'd just see it coming down and do it.
Any tips on how to maximize safi upgrade system ? Should I just store potential until I get great one ?
Naw. If an upgrade comes up that you want take it. You'll get better levels of it regardless if you're storing potential or not. The ones you have in place will get upgrade choices in your rolls. If you want to double up on something, for example attack, take any attack options available. Some rolls will offer upgrades to your already chosen attack mod, some will give you one as a fresh additional mod.
When choosing which weapon to go with, I find the best upgrade to start off with is the Monster Essence you desire. Those are randomly harder to come by when trying to target a specific one than all the other stat upgrades.

So if affinity level 1 came up I should grab it instead waiting for affinity level 4?
Can you replace the default skill ?
Alright, I'll try to focus on it and look for the right timing.
I never did the extreme Behemoth, the timing of his attacks are much shorter than regular and I wanna do for the layered armor but me and the randoms keep dying to ecliptic because we don't get enough time to run towards the comets.
Yup exactly. You can upgrade it, or even come across an entirely separate Affinity if you want to double it up. So just take the level 1 and it'll build up from there.
Ah I see, can you replace the default skill that came with the weapon ?
Yeah, you can do that too.
The only thing that's not changeable on these weapons are the element/ailment they come with. So choose wisely there.
You definitely want to use your weapon in siege runs, because each level it gets through actual use improves the skills you can get on it. I tried to improve my frost LBG, but only got 1 - 2 star skills for it, with the occasional 3 or 4 star skill with stored potential. My Swaxe on the other hand mostly gets 3 - 4 star skills even after using it during just one siege, and even 5 star skills even with just one or two levels of stored potential.
So basically using it on siege runs >>> storing potential when it comes to getting better skills.

I wish I knew this before hand...
I skipped some of the better weapon because it have shit monster essence skill :/
If I'm online the session id is in the threadmark. Unfortunately, the session is now empty apart from me so not worth it for the siege.
I'll probably go to sleep soon. I would have stayed if some Americans joined to make a party of four but maybe tomorrow.
They're the same really, using the weapon on a seige just saves you the dracolite. You just got better rolls on the SA than the LBG.
Yes, that was my point. You can immediately dump dracolite in a new Safi weapon, but you're better off saving it and use it in a siege at least once before you go gamble for skills.
Whew, got a full set of Safi armor. As for weapons, I'm good with the blast hammer I got, but I'd like to swap my fire HH for a blast or poison one. Plus there are several other weapons I want at least one fully awakened version of. So I guess I'll be doing sieges until the deadline ends...
For some reason I can't grind these sieges as well as I could with KT. Something about the environment and the constant orchestral bombing makes it hard to do multiple sieges back to back.
That said, I haven't actually been in a siege where we managed to break the wings, so this is all hearsay.

From what I've read on Reddit it generally shouldn't be a problem with IG vaulting or focused bowgun fire. I guess the damage threshold for breaking them is lower than other parts because they can't be softened.

Just drop 4 x Sharpness V and 1 x Sharpness VI into them:
