✮ PRI-ARMs ✮

Signature Weapon: Star Dance: Enlightenment

Alternative: Echo of Paradise: Time Ruins, Tranquil Rhapsody

▸ Star Dance: Enlightenment having the highest DMG output out of the three tested PRI-ARMs is to be expected. During the test, there was a bug with Time Ruins in terms of activation that may have affected the test. Even so, it still is better than Tranquil Rhapsody in terms of performance.

✮ With Base Weapons ✮

▸ At base form, Star Dance is still better than Echo of Paradise: Time Ruins and Tranquil Rhapsody with a difference of about 4% and 6% respectively. If you don't have crystals for Star Dance but has any of the two, it will be your best alternative option. HOWEVER!

▸ If you're planning to forge Time Ruins, don't use its base Echo of Paradise or unless you know your gear and rotations and decide that it doesn't really affect you if you're competitive. Since technically the weapon is more suited for Lightning Teams especially for Golden Diva.

▸ Tranquil Rhapsody is one of the earlier PRI-ARMs and frankly not worth to pour resources unless you already have it.

✦ Valkyrie Recommendation ✦

✦ Final Notes ✦

▸ Star Dance: Enlightenment is the PRI-ARM version of Star Dance which will both appear in v6.7. Being tailor-made for Sugary Starburst, it provides her with an equip bonus while dishing out extra Ice DMG, TDM, and restores HP.

▸ Is it worth forging Star Dance: Enlightenment? Yes. Given that Sugary Starburst is the second Ice DMG pistol user, the only actual competition in terms of weapon is Tranquil Rhapsody which has an about ~14% difference. So, it's definitely worth to forge it. Though if you're not competitive, the ~9% difference with its base form seems minimal.

▸ Should you pull for Star Dance and upgrade it to PRI-ARM? Yes and no. If you've read my Star Dance's Weapon Guide, I'll be giving the same advice. Yes, it's worth it but only if you're playing competitively, if you don't have any pulling plans anytime soon (if you're F2P), or plan to full gear Kira. If you're a casual, F2P, and plans to pull in the next patch + have a better built Pardo, you'd probably want to skip.

With that, I hope this helped you in deciding whether to pull for Sugary Starburst's secret idol weapon! Good luck in your pulls!
