Perfect if you want Barret to specialize in elemental attacks

This weapon is best utilized by first getting all of the elemental damage related upgrades, then pairing the elemental materia and magic materia to exploit enemy weaknesses.
Since this is a close ranged weapon, picking up the MP boosts/MP regen and extra materia slots will allow Barret to use magic when he needs to attack from a range. After picking up these upgrades, max out his attack and magic attack stats by unlocking the remaining weapon upgrades.
