Alkeys Or AF Hands+1

I am wondering wich is better for WS alkeys or AF hands+1

Alky's for Yuki/Gekko/Kasha, AF+1 for Rana.

fixed now this ^^

I'd rather use Bando/O kote for penta.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but.... I'd think

These would work better for Penta

yes, you are doing wrong.

Says the guy that uses penta (as well as rana) in an Osode, let alone Chivalrous Chain with Al'taieu access?

In reality, Noritsune Kote aren't that bad to Rana/Penta in, but they're certainly not the best.

If you have the attack backing you, then M.Kote +1 would dominate truely and entirely all the time, but in the case of Rana/Penta, that's almost never the case on worthwhile targets, barring berserk paired with dual minuets (double bard), or a chaos roll.

This, is what I use for Rana, barring the belt, which I'll end up toying with between Warwolf Belt (and Warwolf will most likely win once I get +ATK on the thing via augments); not saying it's the end-all be-all Rana set of all time, but it's very ideal for many situations.

And for the hell of it: This is why a Haubergeon +1 is always a worthwhile piece, derp.

On-topic: Alkyoneus's Bracelets win for Y/G/K 24.7, no questions asked.

Need more ACC in your Penta set, and WS gorgets for Y/G/K make a huge difference, very worthwhile. Also, go for atleast a STR+5 head piece, don't need the ACC for Y/G/K, if you can get Wyvern+1 or MKD hat, even better.

lolz...

You're doing it right actually Lilman... Penta is a 5 hit WS with stupidly low mods... accuracy + attack are the way to go, and to ensure perfect, or near perfect accuracy on Penta, you need a hell of a lot of accuracy. This is coming from a DRG, we have A+ Polearm, and Acc Bonus 2, and we still need loads of accuracy.

thank you
