Male moving goal posts to not admit being wrong? No wei.

Earp is priority no. 999 out of 1000 for a cor. This is the cor thread not the Sam thread.

You're the one who "moved the goalposts" for me, by making broad, stupid statements that are clearly not true.

It's not a goal anyone without empy +3 should be looking at, regardless how realistic it would be if they spent all their points on a weapon.

So...you wouldn't tell a SAM about kusanagi, because it's not a goal anyone without empy+3 should be looking at, regardless of how realistic it would be if they spent "all their points" on a weapon?

Even stupider because if you're doing 8-boss for ~6 months, you'd have enough points for a stage 4 weapon and 16 sets of empy+3. So much for spending all your points on a stage 4 earp/kusanagi. Oof.

Just finished head, working on feet now.

For legs: empy is already insane.
Hands: STP+12 on Malignance beats the pants off Feet/Head
Body: STP+11 on Malignance is also similarly much better than the 8/9 on Head/Feet

I think there could be a decent argument for any of Head/Feet/Body. Hands/Body are very good, but I think the others are better. Even despite the head having 1 less QA (2 than body).

Frankly, I think I have this exactly backwards mathemagically. Body with highest QA should beat Head/Feet, even though you lose 2~3 more STP, the extra QA should more than make up for it. Then the 1 STP difference on head is nothing compared to 1 more QA on feet. Should probably be Body -> Feet -> Head -> Hands? And never do the legs, IMO. Not for COR anyway.

Agreed with this ordering. You also gain hp/def/att/acc with each swap but you are losing meva- along the way. It might be worth considering stopping at 2-3 pieces if your focus is a high meva set and you have other sets you want to make.
