✮ Base Weapons ✮

Signature Weapon (Base): Star Dance

Alternative: Tranquil Arias

Alternative F2P: Judgment of Shamash, Any High ATK weapon

Beginner: Water Spirit Type-II, Hurricanes, Alloy Hurricanes

▸ The current beta system uses our own accounts as base and as such I wasn't able to test a maxed Judgment of Shamash but considering that there's a minimum difference between a Level 35 version of it with Hurricanes and Water Spirit Type-II, a maxed would've still fare better than it.

▸ It's not surprising that Star Dance would be at the top considering it being the base form of Sugary Starburst's signature weapon that provides extra DMG due to the equip bonus as well as how Kira's skill mechanics can easily trigger the buffs.

▸ Tranquil Arias lags behind because its mechanics are made for Sixth Serenade's mechanics. Kira cannot continuously deal Time Slow and as such would affect the rotation. The bonus Physical, Elemental, and TDM are still pretty good.

▸ Water Spirit Type-II, Hurricanes, and a Level 35 Judgment of Shamash are pretty close off by less than ~1% of each other. Due to Shamash's bonuses it still manages to keep up despite not being maxed. Type-II was able to keep a bit of a higher ranking due to its weapon skills while Hurricanes despite having higher ATK ranks below it due to its lacking skills. Alloy Hurricanes is just a lower version of Hurricanes.

▸ Use any other high ATK weapon if you don't have the ones above. Water Spirit Type-II is a good beginner weapon and much easier to obtain if you don't have a maxed out Judgment of Shamash. I don't recommend Hurricanes and Alloy Hurricanes since they even perform worse than Type-II.

✮ With PRI-ARM ✮

▸ At its base form, Star Dance has about ~9% difference with Enlightenment. It has almost the same amount of difference between Star Dance and Tranquil Arias, which shows how much improvement the DMG can be if forged into PRI-ARM.

✦ Valkyrie Recommendation ✦

✦ Final Notes ✦

▸ Star Dance is a new double pistols that will appear in v6.7. Being tailor-made for Sugary Starburst, it provides her with an equip bonus while already dealing more Ice DMG.

▸ Is it worth pulling Star Dance? Yes especially if you can forge its PRI-ARM. Kira would be replacing Pardo and Bronie in their positions as support for an HoHE and Sushang team. The weapon also has a lot of extra skill buffs if equipped by Sugary Starburst.

▸ Should you pull for Star Dance? Yes and no. The next best in this set is Tranquil Arias which can only be obtained on Exchange House. After it would be Water Spirit Type-II, however it has an about of ~11% difference so if you want Kira to deal more DMG, you'd want to pull for her weapon.

▸ Yes. Kira replaces Pardo and Bronie's position as supports with her best team being with HoHE and Sushang. Pulling for her weapon would greatly improve her contribution to team DMG thereby faster stage clears.

▸ No. If you consider spending crystals on v6.8 (Herrscher of Rebirth, Senti summer outfit, etc), you might want to hold back this time. You can also take into consideration whether you are a casual or competitive player. If you have a fully built Pardo, she would still clear a Kira without full gear.

I hope this helped you make up your mind whether you're pulling for Star Dance to have its PRI-ARM forged to obtain the best of the best for our shining Kirastar~
