Featured Weapon and Gear Review

• Aerith’s Prism set transform her into a very strong DPS magic dealer
• If the next few events will rely on wind damage to get to the top rank, this set will definitely make Aerith a META unit for October 2023
• We’re not saying that the next dungeon ranking will depend on wind elemental damage, that’s just our prediction
• The Prism Set (or Princess Set? lol) Can be coupled with Fairy Tale nicely to make Aerith a dependable secondary DPS unit that can also AoE heal the whole team
• Killer Set for Matt is also a nice addition to his existing flexible weapon options
• The set makes Matt a tanky secondary physical DPS character in your team
• Slap this weapon with Matt’s Broadsword: Axis and you get yourself an awesome physical DPS that’s also tanky (if you also get his Killer Attire that is)
• But… We know that non-elemental attacks are good for general gameplay in Ever Crisis and elemental attacks trumps non-elemental attacks generally

Should you pull for the weapons and gears?

• The Prism set is worth it because it’s just beautiful (GO TEAM AERITH!!)
• With both Prism Rod and also Prism Dress, you’ll be able to make Aerith a very strong magical wind damage dealer if you choose to build her pure damage (who needs healing right??)
• If you really like Matt’s Killer set, and have the money resources to do so, we say it’s a good set but just remember that elemental damage is king
• Although, that sigil type damage for Matt does brings some great value for the weapon (By now, we know how valuable it is to break the boss’ attack before getting one-shot-killed)
