Helpful topics:

• Were you disappointed by the Transcendence updates, or did they meet/exceed your expectations?
• In what way does each transcended weapon change the way you normally use these weapons, with which teams and in what content?
• How does each transcended weapon make content that it already excels in even easier, such as Higu for HL or Ura for burst? Any specific examples that you've seen or personally tested?
• Any content/strategies/niches that you felt were previously out of reach for a particular element that is now possible thanks to this update?
• Are there any previously neglected classes/characters in each element that have been suddenly brought to the limelight by this update?
• Specifically for Hraes, how do you feel about the bullet grind after this update?

Things to consider before buying:-

• The illustrious suptix is definitely worth its value, but are any of the weapons shown here a good pick for your money?
• For those who don't own each of the weapons above but can afford them, would you recommend them to trade/purchase one now? How has its value changed compared to before the update?
• For each weapon, would you say that max transcendence is a must? Is there a cutoff point where you feel the weapon is 'good enough' for people who can't spare the moons?
• Many of these weapons above requires very tight teams and characters to work, and most players discourage trading your moons for them until you assemble all the necessary pieces; would you say that the Transcendence update has loosened some of these requirements?

GBF Wiki: The Devil (SSR)

This fate-affirming entity takes the form of a coaxing demon, clawing at the innocents tempted to draw near. It instigates chaos wherever it appears, dragging all into ruin amongst the panic. Celestially bound to the indomitable Strength, their limitless will shall abide the inferno to ultimately rule above all.

Once, the monster had raised her fists to sunder the stars. But, on a whim, those empty hands cradled a spark—one that, before the monster even realized, became the inferno behind her strikes.
