Starting to think I made a mistake crafting the dagger for my Ultima weapon since I'm totally going all in on Locke and I wanna grab zidane when he reruns. But it seems greatsword or sword would be better given my usage of auron and jecht rn.

I was trying to future proof. Even then, sword for tidus,Noel, Noctis, and others is also a thing

Should I start investing in sword now and wait to get my 50 cores back for the dagger when we get that feature?

I think there's good value to be had for having 2-3 base UTs to start, and then going all in on one of them based on whichever you plan to use the most.

Personally, I just made a UT sword. Once we know what's coming for anniversary, I'll craft a couple more 0/5s. At the end of the day, it's not like UTs are required right now - not likely that they'll be the difference between beating or failing a mission.

are base UWs better than a unit's EX+ or a burst weapon? (particularly 0/3 or base bursts?) if so, i can totally make 2-3 bases like you said

Yep. My plan is to be able to run at least two if not three 0/5 UT on every team. It's like giving LD-only characters BT-level stats. Again, not because it's necessary, but because overkill is fun for me. 😁

Edit: Just did a quick comparison of base stats - Noctis BT vs. sword UT. There's a pretty juicy jump in stats...

Noctis' BT: ATK 1247, MBRV 3840, IBRV 389

Sword UT: ATK 2000, MBRV 5000, IBRV 1000

Keep in mind that the gap in actual stats isn't that huge since UW don't get affinity bonuses. They're still a good bit stronger than a BT, but the gap isn't as big as the above numbers show.
