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 lists cover the materials shown; Evolution shows the complete recipe and final price.
Keep your awakened main while collecting the new kit. Choose Chisa for a fixed crafting target and a multi-hit melee string. Choose Solar when you want her sword follow-ups or already have a developed Shadow Monarch for the duo setup.
What you own
Next step
Budget before switching
Developed Shadow Monarch
Keep the completed Path. Farm Solar as a second project and equip both for the duo route.
Solar’s own awakening is 8M Coins and 15K Gems plus its ingredients. Monarch Path and Knight upgrades are separate.
Awakened Ye-0
Keep using the form rotation you already know. Add Chisa when you want a close-range chain and can finish both the craft and awakening.
Chisa’s awakening is 6.5M Coins and 13.5K Gems. Crafting first uses 8 Shear Fragments, 7 Crimson Ribbon, 5 Thread Choker.
Neither new weapon
Pick the mode you can clear consistently: Tidal materials for Chisa, or Evil Reflection for Solar.
Chisa has a fixed craft recipe. Solar comes from Evil Reflection; check its current reward card and keep farming the raid materials after the drop.
Chisa vs Solar: the difference you will feel in a run
Choice
Crimson Eclipse / Chisa
Solar Radiance / Cha Hae-In
Attack sequence
Face the group for the multi-hit melee string. Watch the third-skill EXTEND prompt before switching weapons.
Follow the first-skill EXTEND and third-skill VOLLEY prompts. Keep the target in range for the follow-up.
Unlock route
Farm Tidal High-Rise at a reliable difficulty, then spend its ingredients at Crafting. Try Medium if Nightmare runs keep failing.
Farm Evil Reflection for the weapon, then save the raid ingredients for Evolution.
Fresh awakening currency
6.5M Coins and 13.5K Gems after crafting.
8M Coins and 15K Gems: 1.5M more Coins and 1.5K more Gems for this recipe.
Shared material trap
Crafting and awakening spend separate Tidal sets. From zero, reserve 28 Shear Fragments, 19 Crimson Ribbon, 11 Thread Choker.
Solar’s 9-entry recipe includes 28 Soul Fragments, 18 Magic Pendants and 10 Forbidden Fruit. Budget Shadow Monarch’s upgrades separately.
Partner decision
Keep a partner that already helps you finish the run while learning the melee string.
A developed Shadow Monarch opens the duo route. You can still use Solar’s own kit while working on that partner.
Chisa’s lower currency bill does not mean fewer farming runs: the two kits use different modes and ingredients. In Evil Reflection, clear the summons during IMMUNE phases before returning your attack sequence to the boss.
Keep an awakened Ye-0 that already clears your farming route. Solar is a second project when you want targeted sword follow-ups or the Shadow Monarch duo. Start by comparing the upgrades you still need, rather than paying again for a role your main already fills.
Decision
Solar Radiance
Ye-0 / Void Arbiter
Unlock
Evil Reflection: read the weapon chance and pity at the difficulty you select.
Trials Floor 200 challenge.
Fresh awakening currency
8,000,000 Coins and 15,000 Gems.
5,000,000 Coins and 12,000 Gems.
Material route
Story Chapters 1 and 3, plus Evil Reflection. Reserve Forbidden Fruit as well as Souls and Pendants.
Fine Cloth from Story chapters, plus Souls and Pendants from Chapter 1.
During the fight
Complete EXTEND and VOLLEY follow-ups with the target in range. A developed Shadow partner is the separate duo route.
Manage awakened-form attacks and ultimate charge; use Astra’s timed buffs before returning to the main.
From zero, Solar’s awakening costs 3,000,000 more Coins and 3,000 more Gems. If Ye-0 is already awakened, that spend is finished: open the planner for Solar’s remaining recipe and keep farming with Ye-0 while you collect it.
Solar’s VOLLEY prompt against Hive King; the HUD shows Level 256 and Floor 10. BlaxieBLOX · Oct 19 · 7:48.Ye-0 in the same creator’s Tidal chapter; the HUD shows Level 257 and Floor 2. BlaxieBLOX · Oct 19 · 8:05.
Watch how each kit handles the climb and reaches its next target. When you try the switch, use the same difficulty, partner and gear, and include failed runs in your session time.
UPDATE 4 · COMBAT CHAPTERS
Watch Chisa and Solar in combat
Chisa’s close-range string and Solar’s targeted follow-up solve different problems. Open the marked moment to see the input, enemy position and objective, or start the full combat chapter to follow the rotation.
TrickyRBLX’s October 18 video selects Nightmare at 1:55, then shows Level 300 and Tag Team’s +5% damage bonus at 2:25. The victory panel at 9:28 reports 17:42 play time, 1.81M damage and 466 enemies killed.
Use this run to study the climb and Chisa’s melee sequence. The result belongs to this creator’s setup; it does not show how Solar or Ye-0 would perform with the same gear. Keep your own comparison on one difficulty and include failed attempts.
Use the encounter that matches your next run: gathered Tidal enemies for Chisa, or separated reflections for Solar. For your own clear-time comparison, keep the mode, difficulty, gear and partner the same and record each attempt in the run notebook.
Keep the same support, title and accessories when trying the alternatives. The useful question is which attack pattern solves the fight you are stuck on.
Ye-0 + Astra or a developed Shadow Monarch + Astra?
Keep a completed Shadow Monarch while you awaken Ye-0. Adding Astra already gives your existing main a timed support window. Start Ye-0 when you want its awakened-form rotation and can finish the recipe without interrupting your current farming route.
Decision
Ye-0 + Astra
Shadow Monarch + Astra
Damage window
Cast Astra’s buffs, switch, then use Ye-0’s awakened form. Track charge before the form ends.
Cast Astra’s buffs, then return to the Monarch Path skills and improved basic attacks you have unlocked.
What to learn
Manage the awakened form and charge while leaving room to dodge. Another ultimate depends on the charge you build.
Use skills and basic attacks during the buffs. In Shadow Gate, change targets when Igris becomes immune.
Main-weapon investment
A fresh awakening: 25 Cloth, 30 Soul Fragments, 50 Pendants, 5M Coins and 12K Gems.
Select your completed Monarch Path stage above. A completed Stage III has no remaining weapon stage; Igris upgrades are separate.
Shared support cost
Astra has her own awakening recipe. Keep it separate from the main’s budget.
The same Astra support carries over, so you do not need to rebuild her when changing mains.
Best next step
Try the full awakened kit on a familiar boss before moving rare rerolls or replacing your working setup.
Finish a missing Path stage or add Astra before starting a new main from zero.
Rin fits a short cast-and-retreat loop; Frieren rewards room for spell follow-ups. If both are new to you, Rin’s smaller awakening bill is a practical next project. If Frieren is already awakened and clears reliably, her original cost is no reason to abandon her.
Decision
Silver Calamity / Frieren
Inferno Prince / Rin
Attack pattern
Set up Shield and the Golem follow-up. Commit to longer spell casts when the boss leaves an opening.
Bait an attack, cast Astra’s third skill, switch to Rin’s third skill, then dash out. Add the second skill when you can leave safely.
What goes wrong
Rushing the second and third skills can miss their follow-up prompts; a long cast can leave you exposed.
Staying in melee range while cooldowns recover gives the boss another chance to hit.
Awakening currency
20M Coins and 25K Gems.
1M Coins and 10K Gems: 19M fewer Coins and 15K fewer Gems for a fresh awakening.
Material route
300 Fine Cloth, 85 Mana Feather, 50 Soul Fragment and 50 Magic Pendant.
20 Fine Cloth, 25 Broken Blade, 12 Cursed Finger and 8 Sun Core.
Choose for your account
Keep an awakened Frieren if you enjoy the ranged setup and can finish the follow-ups safely.
Work toward Rin if you need a repeatable short-window Trials loop and can finish this recipe sooner.
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.
Astral is the smaller material commitment if you want a support partner for a working main. Finish the separate Trials unlock before saving for the awakening.
Start with what you already own and the upgrade you can finish. Compare each kit’s role, awakening progress and remaining material cost.
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. Select the awakening stages you already own, then budget the materials for your next upgrade.
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.

Decide what your next weapon needs to fix
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
What does the weapon comparison show?+
It compares each weapon’s unlock route, combat role, awakening stages and remaining costs. Select the stages you have finished to see the upgrades still ahead.
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.
