We will discuss these Technics from two angles: Elements and Effects.
 
Elemental Bonus is a rather big part of damage. By matching up the correct attribute, the player can gain a hefty bonus to their weapon ATK. Unlike other weapons, Technic Weapons has three stages of elemental bonus stacking: first, the attribute of the Technic used is matched with the attribute of the enemy. If the attributes match correctly, the weapon gains a 30% attack boost. second, for each Technic equipped to the weapon that has the same attribute as the Technic used (including itself), a further 5% is added. Lastly, if the attribute of the weapon used is the same as the attribute of the Technic used, the % of the weapon is also added.

For optimal damage, theortically, we should aim to strap Technics onto Rods of the same attribute, and then match it up against the correct enemies. However, that's not necessarily optimal practically. Some schools of elements, due to various reasons, are naturally weaker than others. It's not necessarily worth forcing a weaker element school in an attempt to exploit the attack bonus. In addition, many Technics perform similar actions as each other, bringing more copies of similar Technics may not provide any benefit beyond matching up elements. Instead, bringing more Rods and Technics will bloat the weapon palette, and makes it less efficient to access specific important Technics.

"haha Sazonde go BRRRRRRR"

Perks and Drawbacks

Technics

Technics are the centerpiece of a Force strategy. Choosing the right Technics is more important than using the right weapons, even.

Technics are separated by elements, and can be loosely categorized based on their effect:

Fire Ice Lightning Ground Light Dark
Projectile Foie Barta Zonde Diga Nagrants Megid
Midrange AOE Rafoie Rabarta Razonde Radiga Grants Ramegid
Close-range AOE Gifoie Gibarta Gizonde Gidiga
Hold for Damage Damfoie Dambarta Damdiga Damgrants Dammegid
Hold for Tracking Noszonde Nosdiga Nosmegid
Hold for AOE Diverse Megiverse
Persisting Damage Foverse Sabarta Sazonde Samegid
Support Shifta, Jellen Deband, Zalure Anti, Resta

We will discuss these Technics from two angles: Elements and Effects.

Elemental Bonus is a rather big part of damage. By matching up the correct attribute, the player can gain a hefty bonus to their weapon ATK. Unlike other weapons, Technic Weapons has three stages of elemental bonus stacking: first, the attribute of the Technic used is matched with the attribute of the enemy. If the attributes match correctly, the weapon gains a 30% attack boost. second, for each Technic equipped to the weapon that has the same attribute as the Technic used (including itself), a further 5% is added. Lastly, if the attribute of the weapon used is the same as the attribute of the Technic used, the % of the weapon is also added. Example cases:

Weapon Used Technic Used Enemy Attribute Result
Example #1 Wand (Neutral 0%)

Barta, Foie

Barta Fire Barta is the correct matchup against a Fire enemy, thus providing a 30% weapon attack boost.

Since there's 1 Technic equipped with the same attribute as Barta (Barta itself), it gains a further 5% boost,

for a total of 35% boost.

Example #2 Wand (Fire 25%)

Barta, Foie

Barta Fire Same reason as above, for 35% boost.

The attribute of the weapon used is not checked if it's not the same as the Technic used. Even if it's the same as the enemy's.

Example #3 Wand (Fire 25%)

Barta, Rabarta

Barta Fire Barta is the correct matchup against a Fire enemy, thus providing a 30% weapon attack boost.

Since there's 2 Technic equipped with the same attribute as Barta (Barta and Rabarta), it gains a further 5x2% boost, for a total of 40% boost.

Example #4 Wand (Ice 25%)

Barta, Rabarta

Barta Fire Barta is the correct matchup against a Fire enemy, thus providing a 30% weapon attack boost.

Since there's 2 Technic equipped with the same attribute as Barta (Barta and Rabarta), it gains a further 5x2% boost.

Since the Wand has the same attribute as the Technic used, the weapon's % is added, for a total of 65% boost.

Example #5 Wand (Ice 25%)

Barta, Rabarta

Barta Ice 0%. Attribute boosts does not apply if the matchup isn't correct.

For optimal damage, theortically, we should aim to strap Technics onto Rods of the same attribute, and then match it up against the correct enemies. However, that's not necessarily optimal practically. Some schools of elements, due to various reasons, are naturally weaker than others. It's not necessarily worth forcing a weaker element school in an attempt to exploit the attack bonus. In addition, many Technics perform similar actions as each other, bringing more copies of similar Technics may not provide any benefit beyond matching up elements. Instead, bringing more Rods and Technics will bloat the weapon palette, and makes it less efficient to access specific important Technics.

So, let's first look over the effects of each technic category and see how they work out.

Projectiles
Midrange AOE (Ra-)
Close-range AOE (Gi-)
Hold for Damage (Dam-)
Hold for Tracking (Nos-)
Hold for AOE (-Verse)
Persisting Damage (Sa-)
Support (Others)

Once we understood how Technics work out, let's see how each school of attribute performs.
