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 the two weapons and use Copy comparison link. The link restores those selections without using the other player’s saved inventory.
