Hey guys. I currently have a 4* Elemental Set and decided to upgrade to Chaos!

Because though the status resists of Chaos Cowl/Cloak are bad I decided I nead some UV against fire, which is in my opinion the worst status condition and also without it its really harder to survive in the FCT. (or the new T2 boss thats coming which from what I hear will be also firy-oriented!)

What I want to ask is if someone has the experience to explain how UV will be translated in my 5* Set.
Chaos has a vonerability to fire so Im thinking Ill need at least High or Max! Fire UV on both the Cloak and the Cowl.

Normally High status res UV means 3 bars, and Max! status res means 4 bars in 5* gear.
Is this the case?
Or because of the vonerability of Chaos set the amount of protection from the UV will change?
I know that when you already have protection on a status res from your armor the UV adds less.
But what happens if you have vonerability?

Very High and Ultra need some

Very High and Ultra need some attention, too. ;P
I'm not sure if much is known right now about vulnerability values, but I do know that status UVs are said to be broken.

So you mean that the 4 bars

So you mean that the 4 bars of Max UV on 5* does not actually mean 4 bars in reality?
Thats a bummer! :/

Chaos armor is terrible. Why

Chaos armor is terrible.

Why on earth would you choose Chaos over Grey Feather?

The damage bonus is so minor that you'd basically be forced to put High/Max FR just to survive in FSC. Then you wouldn't be able to equip a different UV like a Shadow or Normal to help you survive longer. If you want FSC-ready armor that'll give you damage boosts than you should be going for Vog Cub or Volcanic Demo.

"Very High and Ultra need some attention, too. ;P"

Very High UVs aren't found on armor pieces and Ultra isn't on any UVs period.
