The Pericles Stigmata is only available in Gacha supplies.
In 7.0 it'll have its first supply:
You're guaranteed to get one gear piece (includes weapon and Stigmata pieces) every 30 pulls.
Meaning you're guaranteed to get the full set within 120 pulls.
On the global servers, this banner releases on October 26 and end on November 17.

*uses Senti's signature weapon and 4/4 HoRb and TA
Conclusion
The set pretty obviously is carried by its 3p set.
Even the 2/3 set is very close to the 0/3 replacement.
However, it also shows the strength of the SirinA T Dirac MB set.
But it basically says get everything or nothing.

*Gets worse from top to bottom
Single pieces
Good Sets

✧ Note + Conclusion ✧
Due to the great BETA system I wasn't able to test it on BKE. Nice.
However, the DMG with Pericles really lacks. That has a simple reason: Hare doesn't have a burst mode.
In fact, BKE is the only somewhat usable DPS with a burst mode. And she's so old you barely can use her without 4/4.
In case we get a new Physical DPS with burst mode in future it might be usable as alternative, for now it is for Senti only.

✦ Conclusion ✦
Is it worth your crystals?
Kinda.
But if you're going to get it, go for the full set.
However, SirinA (T) Dirac (MB) is a fully valid alternative. So technically you can stop pulling after getting the brick.
To reach Senti's max potential it is a need-to-have though!
