Braver Class Talk

What are people doing for max DPS during bosses like PD? Sakura Endo?

Double：prep 3x chase before warp, banish the right side crystal and do 2x kami arrow then follow up with guren until break. If the MPA seems to be doing reasonable damage, prep 3x chase again for core expose. If MPA seems to be garbo, just help with breaking sides and spam guren (or step gekka on core since you can lock-on and side step for JA easily).

PD: prep 3x chase before warp, banish first part he shows, then use hatou/gekka for part breaks. After 2 part breaks and a couple pot shots at the third part, again prep 3x chase and use rapid shoot for imminent white core exposure. With 60% 13* bow, this is 1-1.3mil damage on core with proper setup. If he skips straight to persona, just prep bow again. If not (meaning p2/p3), hatou/gekka/sakura part breaks. I prefer katana during p3 pre-persona for blocking his energy waves and smacks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've barely used Braver in a while, so no idea what the meta is now.
Exchanged for an Invade Katana the other day, wanted to mess around with it.

What's the recommended bow for a Katana Braver?
I still have Biblas Bow.

[Selphea]

I guess Red (cheap) then either Edel (alt) or Ideal + Set (main)

[TaigaUC]

Thanks.

On another account, I could get the skull Katana with element 30, or Invade at 60.
What does everyone think of the skull Katana?

Considering it's one of the weapons with decrease PP cost and damage on it's latent, I'd say it's not really worth getting over invade, since at least you can turn invade into austare later.

It's for tryhard guren dashing.

Here's Rakuka with/without Ultimate Buster vs Invade. From the JP swiki comments.

Yea. Best sustainable dps easily.

Mathematically, guren tessen is superior in dps, and damage : pp against PD.

[Achelousaurus]

But practically Guren isn't as good cause you can only fly where you look which means you will relatively often move into the wrong direction.
I said sustainable, not theoretic.

Actually, how does it work, when Guren isn't even a charge pa? And PD takes place on a small platform so you rarely need to dash. Unless you mean only the part where it sends out bits you break to stagger it, then Guren is indeed a better choice. But really only that part.

you can lock onto all relevant parts for both bosses, what's the issue?
