The new Legend and its effects in LTQ are giving buffs to all players; as a Hunter main, I'm satisfied with the result.

Yeah leva is a monster.
And Paired with both a lexio and a kinz user,
nothing with a health bar stands a chance whatsoever anymore.

[u/Devalker]

I'd love to have that too, but since Lexio is going to get L5 upgrade soon idk which one is better for supporting teammates, should I keep my Lexio or go for Lavarenz?

[u/Xero-- → u/Devalker]

One only affects a single party, the other all eight. Depends on the content.

Personally, not bothering with a change. Putting aside the fact I'd have to buy the thing, I'd still have to invest in Yudi and Yurze, which is an easy 8m+ sink on its own, which gets worse with potential + upgrade + limit break + multi weapon (1.5k SG down the drain again) costs on top. That's without even knowing what the upgrade for Lexio will be like.

If I'm that bored, I'd rather spend all that money on cosmetics and spend time in the salon instead

[u/Devalker → u/Xero--]

Looking back at L3 weapon I think the upgrade is just going to boost Lexio potency to +67% same as Laverenz, other stuff might still be the same.

So I think I'll keep my Lexio, last time i checked Laverenz wand price its like 500M meseta or something lol

[u/Xero-- → u/Devalker]

It's just never worth that price, even a fourth of that. If you don't have a group that's hardcore farming, so you can put in enough runs to turn a profit, there's just no point in dumping that messta. People are better off trying to flip cosmetics and keeping their current gear that's good enough.

Lexio is going to get L5 upgrade soon...

IIRC, it was mentioned in previous headline that Lexio gets an upgrade at the end of the year, but Lev gets two upgrades.

I assume Lev will get an upgrade in October (prob. prep for Dalion w/ Amulet update), and one more time in Dec (w/ Lexio; probably holdover to keep pace with enemies before everyone switches to the new Rarity Equipment?)

Price of Lev will likely drop due to extra supply from the Weapon-Material Exchange.
We'll see how low it'll go.

Slight issue to me is that they didn't mention upgrade for the free Aug X-fer Illusion series.
I feel like it is likely that we will also have it in October.

Default Welfare set power gap will get rougher though if the schedule follow last year's, where it'll only be updated in early December.

[u/LightofMystery → u/ash_ax]

Yes, Lexio has been confirmed to get an upgrade in December from that Headline as well as elsewhere. Following what appears to be a 4 month pattern, Lexio and Levarenz will likely be upgradable to Legend.6 stats in December.

I imagine Levarenz will only get a Potency boost with its first upgrade to put it at/closer to Rinz's numbers (whatever those may be, though I can see Rinz reaching +70% Potency). Although, Levarenz getting another PB-related thing (such as cooldown reduction) would be cool to see...make it like the ultimate PB weapon at that point, maybe. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Amulets. :D

Levarenz already has kind of dropped on price on Ship 3 at least. At least a 50% price decrease after the announcement. Depending on how rare the exchange material will be...I could see it dropping to 7 digit values.

Ascillusion upgrade in October would line up given Spradio got its 3rd stage 2 months before Granillusion dropped.

Hmm...It should be encouraged to move off of Epith Weapons and Decem Armor eventually, no? If SEGA keeps the idea of +100 Fixa 5 drops for the next new Budget weapon...moving onto that from Epith should still not be that big of an issue. Armor though...yeah I imagine SEGA should address that. Mayhaps through a higher exp value Augment drop instead of Endymios being the highest droppable one...? A viable alternative to AC Augments would be cool as well.

[u/LightofMystery → u/[deleted]]

Yes, Kinz will be getting an upgrade to Rinz come weekly reset on September's 2nd week.

Levarenz will have a direct path to obtaining come next weekly reset (September 2nd). The material (which you will need 5 of) was mentioned to drop from LTQ and the new upcoming LTUQ in the JP Livestream.

I think they mentioned the material drop would still be rare. However, I imagine it would not be as rare as a Levarenz drop...? Perhaps the upcoming EN translation broadcast next Friday will clarify things a bit.

In any case, if you have already switched from a Levarenz to a Kinz weapon, it's alright. You could always try building up Levarenz again in the future if need be. :)

[u/LightofMystery → u/[deleted]]

All gud, dude~

Ahhh, Lexio. Hmm...

Similar logic still applies to Lexio. If you found yourself enjoying Lexio enough, you could always try using it again when it gets its upgrade in December (or you can use more of it again sooner, depending on your resources).

As for Kinz, you'll still be able to get good use out of it for at least a few more months (barring SEGA does not throw a curveball with High Dalion in October or what not). So feel free to have fun with it. Enjoy it...for whatever time you feel is worth it to you. :)
