Laphria Vs Hellheim

Fujito said last August that augmenting the primes is the next step
I don't remember this. Can you share when this was stated?
You'd think they would need to add additional augments to the rest of the REMAs as well too? I don't remember talk of that.

I'd rather they take another crack at relics before further boosting primes(like they said they were going to do at least WS wise...)
I'd love nothing more than to use Ragnarok unironically again.

Was rags WS ever any good? Even at 75 i think people opted for spinning slash still and beyond that it was just a reso weapon, was never a "terrible" ws, just always kind of mediocre compared to few other scaling WS GS has access to

Nah it's always been pretty garbo, but as I've previously stated, I'm a *** for crit, and 24% (with AM3) is pretty nasty. I also think it's one of the coolest looking GSs. I typically lockstyled it over my Epeo and Calad.
I know I'm reaching ad naseum with the crit convo, but I would love to be able to viably build a crit setup that sacrifices WS/SC damage for white damage. Iono why, just something about going ham on autos speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Laphria is what I use almost all of the time, except for when Naegling, Loxotic Mace +1, or Shining One is needed. My Chango has effectively been retired since I got the s4 Laphria.
Have you tried using Laphria in place of Naegling/Loxotic/Shining One in Sheol C? How does it perform comparatively against the various enemies there?
Naegling is still the king of Sheol C runs. Switching to the other options, as needed. My group for Sheol C farms typically enters with DD/DD/DD/BRD/WHM/COR. Usually 2 WAR with a SAM make up the DDs. Since we do not use a tank, sword and board helps a bit defensively and can consistently do 95-100% dmg savage blades on most mobs.
If Naegling savage blade werent so dominate for one shotting, or nearly one shotting most mobs in Sheol C, I might be more tempted to use Laphria in there

 Quote: Fujito: After "Embryo" is completed, we will be able to enhance prime weapons, but even if we go to the trouble of creating them, they will be meaningless if there is no place to use them. On the other hand, we don't want new content that tests the power of prime weapons to be mandatory for future play, so we are planning several new master trials. In previous Master Trials, a special weapon that glows white but has no practical use as a weapon was available as a reward for clearing the trial. However, in addition to the two-handed swords and other weapon types that have been implemented so far, there are several others that have not yet been implemented, and we plan to make these available in the new Master Trials. from: https://www.famitsu.com/news/202303/30297806.html

If im reading the article right it was around the time sortie was still being finished so they may have been referring to actually making S3/S4/S5 as this was all centered around the TVR finale
bad DeepL tl;
Regarding post-Embryo completion, will there be any additions to existing content?
Fujito: Currently, the endgame content consists of two elements: the Odyssey “Sheol Gyr” and Soti. Regarding Gyr, Veng25 represents its intended final form from the outset. Soti, however, remains unfinished and will also serve as the “content for enhancing Prime Weapons,” which begins upon clearing Embryo. Moving forward, we envision players utilizing Soti not only for enhancing Empyrean gear and acquiring job-specific ear equipment, but also for strengthening their Prime Weapons.
Are there any new content updates planned after the completion of ‘Embryo’?
Fujito: After completing ‘Embryo,’ players will be able to enhance their Prime Weapons. However, if we create this feature but players have nowhere to use their enhanced weapons, it would be meaningless. That said, we don't want the new content testing Prime Weapons' power to become mandatory for future play, so we're planning several new Master Trials. In past Master Trials, players could obtain uniquely glowing weapons as clear rewards, though they weren't practical for combat. However, besides the two-handed swords and other weapon types already implemented, there are several unimplemented ones. We plan to make these obtainable through new Master Trials.
――Oh! That makes me curious about the weapon types available too.
FujitoAs mentioned earlier, these new Master Trials also serve as a “testing ground for Prime Weapons,” so I expect their difficulty will be significantly higher than previous ones. We're preparing fitting enemies for them, so I think you'll enjoy them.
Lines up with them making August/Chaos MT if im remembering releases right

That article is from 2023, not 2025. I must be blind, because I see nothing about a future augment system to primes. He's merely talking about (then) future plans where you can complete a prime weapon after finishing TVR (Embryo), and strengthen it THROUGH Sortie. Mentions places you can use the stronger weapon, new master trials. I read that clearly to mean you can stage 3-5 it. He specifically mentions Sortie as the "final stage" for prime weapons several times. Think you're reading way too much into it Felgar.
Quote: After the completion of "Embryo", are there any additional elements to the existing content?
There are two things that can be called the end content of the Fujito situation, Odethy's "Sheol Jere" and Sorty, but as for Jeer, it is the final form that Veng25 had planned from the beginning. On the other hand, it will also be used as a "content for strengthening Prime Weapons" that starts by clearing "Embryo" without yet completing Soti. In the future, in addition to strengthening the Empirian outfit and acquiring job-specific ear equipment, I would like you to go to Soti to strengthen the Prime Weapon.
Is there any new content scheduled after the completion of "Embryo"?
After the completion of Fujito "Embryo", you will be able to strengthen the prime weapon, but even if you make it, it means that "it is meaningless if there is no place to use it". However, I think it would be good if the new content that will test the power of Prime Weapon will become essential for playing in the future, so I am planning several new master trials. In the previous master trial, although it is not practical as a weapon, it was possible to obtain a special weapon that glows white as a reward. However, in addition to the weapon types such as two-handed swords that have been implemented so far, there are some unimplemented ones, so we plan to make them available in the new master trial.
――Oh! I'm curious about that, including the types of weapons that can be obtained.
Fujito, as mentioned above, this new master trial also has the meaning of "a place to test the power of Prime Weapon", so I think the difficulty will be much higher than the previous one. We have prepared something suitable for the enemies that will appear, so I think you will enjoy it.
――By the way, is it necessary to clear "Embryo" for strengthening to the final stage of Prime Weapon?
Fujito yes. " You will need to clear "Embryo", but after that, you will be able to proceed to the final stage at your own pace. If you are a fast person, wouldn't you be at the one to complete within the year?
――One within the year!? Does it mean that it will take about half a year to complete?
Fujito In fact, there may be people who complete it faster. However, the main place to strengthen the prime weapon is Soti, which can only be entered once every 20 hours so far... In addition, as a countermeasure against congestion that has continued so far, we added a layer area in the February version upgrade, and there was also a little trouble, but in the March version upgrade, we will adjust the way we handle the waiting line for entering the Soty. I did. I think the waiting time will be shorter than before, so if you have been shying away, please try this opportunity.
――The process of strengthening will be quite chewy.
That's right, Fujito. In line with the current play style, it is made so that you can steadily strengthen it even solo. However, it may feel a little tight about the final stage of strengthening. In addition, if you strengthen the prime weapon to the final stage, the so-called "moyamoya" will be added.

Are there any proud owners of both the prime GS and prime GA. Looking to gear up WAR but I also play RUN and I would like to dabble in DRK. So I am wondering how close / far apart are these two weapons for DPS on WAR? Are they close enough that the trade off for slightly less DPS on GS is worth because it can be used across multiple jobs? Or is it so far behind Great Axe that it isn’t worth ??
