I currently have these 4* stuffs:
heavy demo helm
ash tail coat
vile striker
blizzbrand
fiery atomizer
master blast bomb
mega magnus
stone tortoise
I was wondering about the order in which I should upgrade these... it'll take a while to get these all to 5* and I'd appreciate input on which of these to start on first.
Any suggestions on what I should get on top of these is welcome too ^_^
Master blast bomb. Make it a Nitronome. Then get your helm to 5* and make it volcanic demo helm. Then get Vog cub coat, Blizzbrand, then mega mag (Make Calahan), fiery, stone tort, and finally Dread venom.
The most significant benefits for 5* in your items would be from the demo helm, ash tail coat and the two bombs. Everything else just gets somewhat improved stats, but each of those four I mentioned get additional effects beyond that; the bombs get a larger blast radius, the demo helm gets a bigger increase to CTR plus fire resistance (if you go volcanic demo) and the ash tail coat can become Vog (Sword attack bonus, fire and elemental defenses) or Skolver (Further increase to sword damage).
Of those four, put the fiery atomizer last - the increased range and duration are nice, but the damage barely increases, as the type of fire it inflicts is the same. Feel free to upgrade your other stuff before it, actually - upgrade the weapons you use most first.
Vile Striker, Blizzbrand, Mega magnus just get slightly higher damage, which isn't a decent trade-off for 800 energy immediately. Stone Tortoise just gets slightly higher shield health and defense, which again isn't a good trade-off for the energy cost just yet. Of course, once you're happy with everything else, go ahead and 5* the items you want to use - a bonus is a bonus.
heavy demo helm - (CTR low) + depending on choice
ash tail coat - (dmg bonus low) + depending on choice
vile striker - 4* + slight dmg bonus
blizzbrand - 4* + slight dmg bonus
fiery atomizer - 4* + radius(eventually duration too)
master blast bomb - 4* + radius(assuming u go with nitronome since BAB sucks lol)
mega magnus - 4* + depending on choice
stone tortoise - 4* + defense
4* gear has most dmg available already
i find the fiery atomizer -> ash of agni bonus most useful from these items
after that, might wana think about trinkets 1st and mix them accordingly with weapons/armors
I upgraded my armors first since they had more of an effect (either in protection or a secondary effect; thorn shield line) than what the 5* version weapons offered. I only use blades though, so I can't say for the guns/bombs.
