Compare two weapon kits before changing your main. Check how to get them, where they work well and what an awakening would cost.
Reviewed Roblox · Anime Zero
Set each weapon’s completed awakening stage to compare the upgrades still ahead. These are separate choices for your next investment; costs are not added together.
The recorded Silver awakening needs 19 million more Coins and 15,000 more Gems. It also needs 280 more Cloth, 65 more Feathers, 38 more Soul Fragments and 40 more Pendants.
If you want a support partner for a working main, Astral is the smaller listed material commitment. This does not measure the time needed to unlock either weapon.
Both menus list 1 million Coins and 10,000 Gems. Astral uses Feathers, Souls and Pendants; Inferno uses Blades, Cursed Fingers and Sun Cores.
Choose based on the role you need and your inventory. Astral’s visible timed aura makes it worth trying with a developed damage main; matching currency costs do not mean matching damage.
Ye-0’s menu has a 5 million Coin and 12,000 Gem awakening charge. One purple ingredient still needs a name check. Shadow Monarch’s remaining cost depends on the stages you already completed.
Keep your usable main until the replacement clears your chosen run. A creator’s awakened Ye-0 showcase is not an equal-investment test against your account.
Start with what you already own and the upgrade you can finish. These comparisons use documented kits and recipe costs, not equal-gear damage tests.
Shadow Monarch vs Cataclysm
Already invested? Keep an awakened Cataclysm while building a fresh Shadow Monarch. The raid drop, The System, Igris and the final stage are separate milestones.
Choose your next goal: Work toward Shadow Monarch if you can farm Shadow Gate consistently and want its staged progression. Keep Cataclysm with Lights of Divinity when that speed/cooldown pair already clears your farming route.
Before spending: Compare the stages you can finish, not just the S labels. Shadow’s Stage II Gem total is still unresolved; Cataclysm’s additional Coin charge is also unconfirmed.
Already invested? Keep an awakened Mochi Commander while preparing Cataclysm. Changing to a rarer summon can leave you with fewer usable skills until its awakening is complete.
Choose your next goal: Cataclysm has a documented speed/cooldown pair with Lights of Divinity. Mochi Commander has three turret casts to use between Skill 1 cooldowns, but no named pairing in our table.
Before spending: Mochi’s awakening requires 50 Flour, 75 Doughnuts and a listed 25,000 Gems. Cataclysm has a lower listed Gem requirement but uses several chapter materials. That does not establish which takes fewer runs.
Already invested? Keep the weapon that can clear your current stage. A developed Mochi Commander and a newly dropped Shadow Monarch are not an equal-investment comparison.
Choose your next goal: Both projects send you to Shadow Gate for materials, but the ingredients differ. Save Flour and Doughnuts for Mochi; reserve Shadow Essence and Igris Crests for Monarch Path stages.
Before spending: Use the stage selectors above to budget only unfinished upgrades. Owning Igris does not mean the final weapon stage or Igris’s separate upgrades are complete.
Try Shadow Monarch + Astral against Ye-0 + Astral, or compare two owned mains with the same partner. Match the awakening stages and the settings below. Alternate A/B attempts on the same stage; record failures, not just your best clear.

What stops the run
Compare this first
You die before the clear
Defensive options, safe skill windows and a partner that helps you survive. Keep the gear and difficulty consistent when trying a different kit.
The boss takes too long
The awakened skill set and damage setup. Compare an upgraded main against a similarly upgraded alternative, not a new summon with no investment.
Farming feels slow
Area coverage and time spent between fights. Measure the whole session, including deaths and lobby waits.
You cannot afford both upgrades
Compare remaining materials in the upgrade planner. A kit you can finish now may be the more useful next step.
Weapon comparison and pair bonuses are different
This page compares two alternatives for your investment. If you want to equip them together, open the weapon pair finder for their combination bonus. A higher general PvE tier does not automatically make every pair better.
PLAYER QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Does this compare actual DPS?+
No. It compares documented acquisition, reference costs and editorial strengths and limitations. We do not have controlled, equal-investment DPS measurements for all weapons.
Should I replace an awakened weapon with an S-tier summon?+
Compare the investment needed to unlock the new kit first. Keep your usable main while collecting the replacement’s materials, unless the new weapon already solves the problem stopping your runs.
Can I share a comparison?+
Yes. Choose two weapons, set their completed awakening stages and use Copy comparison link. The link restores both weapons and stages without copying your inventory.
