Great for magic-oriented builds
Out of Barret's weapons, this one really seems to be focuses on magic attacks with its many MATK upgrades and elemental damage upgrades. Prioritize these magic attack and elemental buffs, alonside materia slots. While it is only obtainable at Weapon Lv. 6, the healing spells cost reduction is very easy to use. Afterward, you can spend SP as you see fit on HP, defense, and physical attack.
