✦ INTRODUCTION ✦
★ All the stats below are based on Lvl 65 ★
[ATK: 415; CRT:39]
“As a weapon forged by the might of stars, this scythe inherited the strength of Durandal the Holy Balde. It can not only unleash fiery flames like stellar jets, but also sunder spaces precisely like a surgical knife, just as versatile as Aphrodite.”
✦ SKILL DETAILS & ANALYSIS ✦
Active Skill – Gamma-Ray Burst
▸ Analysis: Inflict a high amount of Fire Damage to the enemy, applies Flared state for 10 seconds to the enemy near the wielder, and increase the Fire Damage received by the target by 20%.
▸ When equipped by Spina Astera, her Charged ATK [Astral Flare] will deal bonus Fire Damage to enemies with Flared state.
[Weapon Active]
[Flared enemies]
Passive Skill 1 – Neutron Degeneracy
▸ Analysis: The normal attack (Basic, Charged, Combo ATK) of the wielder will deal 25% bonus TDM only to Flared enemies. Make sure to use the weapon active first to inflict Flared state to enemies before you use the wielder’s normal attack.
▸ For the second effect, Spina Astera will gain a special passive bonus where she restores 20 Astrum per second (The bar above her HP that allows her to enter Astral Harness state).
Passive Skill 2 – Relativistic Jets
▸ Analysis: Unconditionally increase the TDM bonus for wielder’s Charged ATK by 20%. A bonus for Spina Astera is her Charged ATK and Ultimate will boost her Fire DMG for 10 seconds while all her normal attack applies Flared state to enemies.
✦ WEAPON COMPARISON ✦
▸ Team Composition:
▸ Movement Set:
AE Basic ATK + Weapon Active + Combo ATK + Ultimate > SR Weapon Active > Spina Astera Charged ATK + Basic ATK + Weapon Active + Charged ATK + Ultimate + Charged ATK
▸ Damage Comparison:
▸ First of all, there are no other Fire scythes in the game to make a comparison with except the 5-star counterpart Astral Rend: White Dward. Thus, you can expect a massive difference in terms of damage when each weapon was equipped with Spina Astera.
▸ From the chart above, it proves that Astral Rend and Pisces are the only viable options for Spina Astera. The next option, which is totally unrecommendable, is Sanguine Gaze: Union which has the bonus for Ultimate and Charged ATK.
✦ RECOMMENDED FOR ✦
[Spina Astera]
[Schicksal Mentor]
▸ Spina Astera is the only one who can use Pisces to the fullest. This PRI-ARM can greatly improve her damage output, and apply Flared state to enemies so they will receive more Fire DMG. With the addition of the third passive skill, she can deal even more TDM and Fire DMG, while inflicting Flared state easily.

✦ CONCLUSION ✦
▸ Astral Divide: Pisces is a PRI-ARM suitable only for Spina Astera. It can actively apply Flared state through the weapon active to increase the Fire damage received by the enemy and increase the wielder’s Total Damage to the enemy in Flared state.
▸ By equipping this weapon, Spina Astera can continue to restore Astrum when she is off-field. And when SA use her special attack, all her normal attack can inflict Flared state for 10 seconds.
▸ Should you pull for this weapon? 100% YES, if you’re planning to use the new Rita battlesuit. There are no other weapons that can synergize with SA except this one. After all, this is the first Fire Scythe in the game.
