This weapon's strength lies in its balance between the attack and magic attack stats. Depending on your playstyle, select upgrades accordingly, but you'll definitely want to upgrade Materia slots asap, given this weapons low slot availability. Physical attack and HP upgrades definitely won't go to waste, so upgrade them first when you are unsure of where to spend SP.
