Ambu weapons (especially Naegling) have invalidated most RMEA's from the game for nearly a decade now.

They needed to give R30 augments to them 7 years ago (or hotfix nerfed Naegling) and never did, it's just a big joke at this point.

You basically get 99, do ambu in full sparks for 2 hours, then get a pulse weapon from a random free hand out event #%305530 and never touch the weapon slot again.

I don't even know why people make prime weapons when the majority of them aren't even better than a weapon you get within 2 hours of dinging 99 - or why they need to be faster when they are barely a relevant "goal" to work towards.

I know this isn't a serious question and it's just fishing for likes and validation from your echo chamber, but...

I *** agree - here is your like...

I like how people pretend sortie is this engaging event when all I hear on discord is how fast they wanna log off after doing it... lmao.

Like anything else in the game, primes are an epeen item.

A little better than naegling, with a 6 month grind.

Sortie isn't a bad event, in and of itself.
Its just an event that has been ground to death by a lot of people.
Sortie has neat mechanics and interesting boss fights

But we have min-maxed it to death and people have ran it daily for years. That will take the fun out of anything. Its not bad, people have just hit satiety and kept going for the sake of Prime weapons.

I agree sortie is not bad in general, it's just the daily grind for so long that kills it.

If it had half running around and lasted 30 mins (for the same Galli) it would've been so much better.
With 30 mins max duration even a shitty campaign like the one incoming would feel more interesting, honestly.

The running around is a feature, not a issue. Its part of the random nature of bitzer placements & mini boss starting locations and paths creates a slightly different run every time. Isn't that awesome

Anyone saying sortie isn't bad is genuinely huffing copium. It's dosgshit.

Maybe sortie was the friends we made along the way

Fixed your list. You didn't even list the trash right. Silly Canadian.

Anyway, I didn't speak about utility. I spoke about the process itself. You start speaking about utility as an excuse to skip the process, and that's fine. It will never change that they're not gonna suddenly add 12-14 more Ergon weapons to the game for the 20 other jobs, and suddenly make those campaigns worth more than convenience.

The rampant tool use and teleporting from one boss bitzer to the other doesn't help either.

I literally said there are good weapons that are victimized for being on shitty jobs. However, the job is in such a bad state that even the great REMA cant pull it out of obscurity. Thats an issue with the job itself and how SE has moved the game along.

Heres what you added in each section:

Mandau
Kikoku
Amanomurakumo
Claustrum
Yoichinoyumi <- Coro does better damage than Namas, has less static enmity and its aftermath gives another Enmity-25 for non-WS actions. It would have made my list of good relic if this weapon isnt inferior to Anni/Coro in every facet. The only redeeming quality is that it gives sam a ranged WS. What content does SAM need a ranged WS in 2026?

Laevatein (aging poorly, still good) - no its not, I have two of them, they're collecting dust because Bunzi/Ammurapi is a much better combo than Laev/Enki or Telopanos Grip or any other grip. This isnt even a matter of BLM being mostly useless these days.
Liberator
Aymur <-Victim of ***job
Kogarasumaru
Ryunohige
Kenkonken <-Victim of ***job


*For some reason you removed Verethragna, Ukonvasara and Gandiva from my list, but you kept Masamune and Daurdabla. This has to be a conscious decision and not an accident because its three different points in the list, so you're actually suggesting that those three Emps are actually inferior from a useful standpoint to the items in your list.
Farsha
Redemption
Gambanteinn - I shouldnt have crossed this one out, its good for its impact on cursna for doom. I overlooked it because the list of things that do unavoidable Doom is very small (Dyna Yag NM, Umbril Terminal Bloom, Shinryu Supernova, Chloris Fatal Scream, maybe some others) and most of them are AoE so theres an argument to be made if Yagrush is better to cast in. I specified unavoidable since Gaze doom like Mortal Ray or Eternal Damnation should be avoided, thats a skill issue.
Hvergelmir
Ochain (can stop at 85 for lockstyle) - I'm sorry lockstyle??? If you're stopping at 85, then its a ***REMA, which is literally what my list was pointing out. If its for lockstyle, then they're all unique models and good.

Aeneas
Tishtrya <- you be trollin
Fail-Not (You need the arrows, home boy) - yes it offers the best arrows, but again that reduces it to a macro piece and you're gonna use another weapon in all situations, but fine, it shouldnt have been crossed out.

Utility is the entire *** point considering your started all this by saying
