So if you're going to be
So if you're going to be playing on a particular tier, is it better to use that tier's weapons, or use your heavy stuff? Like if you're on a tier 1 run with some newbie friends, should you grab some old maxed 1-star items, or just use your maxed 5-star?

From what I can tell with
From what I can tell with weapons at least, there's a damage cap at each level. A friend of mine was going through tier 1 with a 2* weapon, and I had a 4* weapon. Each level, I'd ask him how much damage his sword was doing, and for the first several levels we did exactly the same amount of damage. As we got deeper, my sword started to pull ahead and do more damage.
I haven't experimented too much, but from what I've seen the low-level gear won't outperform high-level gear at any level.
