[[Claws]] is the high damage one out of the single-hands. Claws have inherently big ATK, and a category bonus to ATK, allowing it to push the largest damage values out of all single-handed weapons. Its range is similar to [[Sabers]], but it's a little bit slower and has a different timing. | [[Claws]] is the high damage one out of the single-hands.

Combined with its relatively long range, allows Whips to perform well against groups of enemies from a distance. However, Whips have very low ATK, low attack speed, and low chain count (1 hit -> 1 hit -> 1 hit). This means they are very poor against single targets, and they are inferior to other group options at close range ([[Double Sabers]] or even [[Swords]], for example), making their usefulness somewhat questionable. Many Whips also has a high [[Status Effects]] level and a relatively high Status Effects infliction rate. This aspect of whips is hindered due to its slow attack speed, each swing being only 1 hit, and that the rates are still not high enough to apply reliably. | ||
Whips also have a category bonus to TEC...which affects [[Tech-Mags]], [[Cards]], [[R-Mags]], and nothing else. Yeahhhhhhhhh. Recall that Cards and R-Mags' effective ATK is calculated by (TEC + ACC)/2, meaning that the boost is effectively halved. Meanwhile, the Tech-Mags' TEC score is so low you shouldn't be using it for damage anyway, so a TEC boost to it is moot. | Whips also have a category bonus to TEC...which affects [[Tech-Mags]], [[Cards]], [[R-Mags]], and nothing else.

'''Guard''' using Shields are significantly stronger than Guarding using other weapons: Shields receive 20% less damage than other weapons (90% instead of 70%), and when Shields trigger a '''Perfect Guard''', it triggers '''Shield Arts''': an attack which hits all enemies to the front of the player. '''Shield Arts''' adds 1 chain (which is quite good since you are weaving it in-between combos), and usually deals very high damage, as Shields generally have very high stats. It's also possible to enhance '''Shield Arts''' via abilities such as [[Abilities#Perfect Block Plus|Perfect Block Plus]]. If you enjoy '''Guarding''' and parrying, Shields are a must have and totally great fun. | ||
Although, generally, the consideration for Shields is less how good Shields are, but rather, "what are you going to use on the right hand"? Would that be better fitted with a different left-hand weapon, or a two-handed weapon instead? | Although, generally, the consideration for Shields is less how good Shields are, but rather, "what are you going to use on the right hand"?
