/gbfg/ Basic Weapon Pools

BASIC WEAPON POOLS
*Ask before you commit!
*Builds may vary based on available weapons or characters.
*Primal builds can vary greatly. Use these only as a guide.
*Builds may change at any time.
*You can only have 1 cosmos at a time.

NOTE: Xeno Weapons are almost always preferred over collab/RQ Unknowns. Often you want more Xeno weapons than the listed number for unknowns; use a calculator.
When fighting on-element as a main wheel element, use your element's Seraphic weapon. Some suggested replacements are included, but you should use a calculator to find which is best to replace.

Wind:
7 Tiamat Guns, 1 Baha Dagger, 1 Cosmos Gun, 1 GW Dagger
Possible replacements: Unknown to replace Cosmos Gun, Baha Gun to replace Baha Dagger, Ring of Raphael to replace Cosmos Gun (when on-element)

No major alternate builds

Current Optimal Unknown: Rose Queen Dagger

Earth:
6 Ygg Swords, 2 Unknowns, 1 Baha Sword, 1 Mainhand (Xeno Vohu Harp, RQ Spear, GW Axe, others)
Possible replacements: Cosmos sword and one more Ygg sword to replace an unknown and mainhand, Baihu Staff to replace something on aggro-heavy teams (use a calculator to see which should be replaced), Gauntlet of Uriel to replace Unknown or Ygg Sword (when on-element)

Titan build: 4 Baal Axes, 2 Unknowns, 2 Ygg Swords, 1 Baal Gun, 1 Mainhand (depends)

Possible replacements: Ancient Ecke Sachs to replace Colo Sticks (if you're running a mostly on-element team), Sword of Michael to replace Colo Stick (when on-element)

Possible replacements: Olden Cortanas can be replaced with another Celes Axe and either a second Baha weapon or a second Unknown
NOTE: Dark builds vary greatly based on characters and the content you expect to face. At the very least, you should adjust the number of Celes Axes/Claws/Cortanas based on your team. Use a calculator.

Hades build: 3 Gislas, 2 Celes Claws, 2 Cerb Guns, 1 Cortana, 1 Kirin Bow, 1 Mainhand (Gisla, GW/Kirin harp, GW dagger, others)
NOTE: This is a very rough guideline. Hades builds vary immensely based on content and characters. Get familiar with a calculator before you plan out any Hades grid.

Current Optimal Unknown: Qilin Sword
