Neutral photons when synthing.

[Esufer]

When synthing, how much does using neutral photons instead of elementals boost the chances of success? Just wondering for when I inevitably go hunting S-ranks, I'd rather have a green s-rank than a broken soul. :]

It boosts it 8%

[Esufer]

Ooooh. That's fairly significant. Thanks for that. ^_^

[panzer_unit]

Of course all s-rank melee is forced to be elemental :]

[beatrixkiddo]

Not to mention, even a 10% S-Rank is going to be miles better than a green, so why bother? Also, isn't the success rate 85%? If so, you're only going to get a 5% synth boost since the cap is 90%... I think. :>


edit: Huh, according to Sounomi's data, the 8% boost goes above and beyond the normal 90% cap. But still, it's best to choose an element imo :/

Go with an element. Most are forced into one anyway.

[SolomonGrundy]

s ranks vary in success rate.

Fixed.

Haha, I want a green deva-zashi!

XD

[panzer_unit]

You mean Deva-Zashi isn't Ice only?

(j/k ... I did forget there are some that aren't element-specific tho)

Sega should consider giving some kind of bonus to neutral weapons... It's just a thought, but, some people might like their weapons green! (for looks)
And seeing as even a tiny elemental % gives a formidable boost to damage output, keeping up with elemental users for a neutral one can be extremely hard to impossible. (maybe if you grind a neutral to 10, lol)

Elemental melee weapons and ranged and tech weapons cap at 90%. Neutral melee weapons cap at 98%.

I do have to admit that the Blackheart Sabers are looking quite sweet right now. If only I'd be at the right level to find the boards upon their release...

[HaydenX]

I synthed my daga cresa neutral (course I don't use it much anyway being that I'm a GT).

I just synthed a dual durandal (dropped from go vahra) neutral.

If it is for you or someone else you know, neutral isn't bad. Weapon switching is annoying.

[ZodiacNKnight]

You can make a green Crea Doubles and Rucar.

[Serephim]

Neutral crea doubles are the only weapon anyone should want neutral.

Because their effing sexy.
