Apparently SEGA has totally forgotten that Old Type weapons still exist ...

And that austere is still better than most if not all of the current 13* NT weapons.

it is?

austere loses basicall like 2-5 NTs, depending on which weapon type you play.

They'd probably give an upgrade to Austere soon, just like Union series, probably.

Astra is already better, just not by enough for people to want to switch after all the effort it takes to get and affix Austere.

EDIT: Austere's set bonus pushes it over though.

I think they gonna make new astra superior series with soloMother.

Good idea. Looking forward for the possibility.

I dearly hope so, mothers units are too lackluster for what are the first real 12* units (I consider ray/amduq bosses to be the 'introductory' 12* units, kind of like saiki for 11*). I get the feeling they'll get a 'purified' version much like the invade > austere, with stats actually matching what they should have from the raid boss coming for the climax of episode 4. Them being black bugs me somewhat, given mother is white/blue in design. I doubt austere will get an upgrade at all, PD has done it's time, and the units are still absurdly rare.

Uuh that was the whole point of NT weapons. They were never designed to "Fully Co-exist" with OT weapons. But they also couldn't just completely replace OT with NT wit how NT had the +35 and stuff. Sega has been shoving down NT as the replacement for OT for a long time. They even recently changed some of TD's OT drops to NT versions around Necky's time.

So yes Sega has forgotten OT exists but that's because they want to forget about it and want you to forget about it without straight up removing OTs from the game. Not defending them on it though they could have handled the transition from OT to NT better.
