Just curious, at what level do 5* weapons surpass lvl 10 4* weapons in terms of damage?

My guildie and I tested silent nightblade (lvl 10) vs Acheron (lvl 1). With no damage bonuses, Acheron did 209 and SN did 252.

At what level does the 5* overtake the 4*?

If it helps, I have a lvl 4 blotz, lvl 7 DA, and Lvl 1 WRH. (My other WRH is at lvl 10).

Any help?

I think...

It's Lv 8 where the damage of a 5* surpasses a Lv 10 4*. Keep in mind that cases can be different for weapon charge attacks. For example, Brandishes get a larger charge attack hit box and +1 explosion over the 4*, so if your Acheron was maybe Lv 6, it'd even out in a sense if you use the charge more than normal attacks.

...but just avoid all that complication and just keep all your weapons at 4* Lv 10.

As you can see, your attack power is heavily reduced for your Blot--Blitz, should have kept it 4*. Don't worry about it though, it's still pretty ridiculous regardless.

WRH just isn't that usable yet, I'd give it until Lv 7 before considering use in Stratum 6.

Your DA is good enough to be used, it even has a great charge attack to boot.

^Hooray! I definitely think the "here are links" type of response is a better generic reply than the "go search for the last time I told someone to go search for it." generic response. Though Shadowstar still wins when it comes to being informative, as he actually gave the answer.

about two

I might be mistaken, but my recollection is that each 5-star forging requires about 45 radiants to get 100%. So you're looking at two forgings?

According to the chart...

On the wiki, you'd be able to get to Lv 5 with 72 Radiants using the max option only.

just a joke

I didn't know that the detailed forge numbers were on the wiki. And I'm constantly telling people to read the wiki! So I decided to make a joke at my expense. Anyway, thanks for defending me.
