SKILL REVIEW
Sagittarius Astra is the first PRI-ARM for Lance that was released at the same time with their half (Starlance Prime). Because of that, we cannot compare SA with any other PRI-ARM. Instead, we will go into depth with the skill provided.
RECOMMENDED FOR
[Dea Anchora]
Compared to Starlance Prime, the difference is only the number and 1 passive skill:
There is really no difference in term of active skill and passive skill 1 for both weapons, just that PRI-ARM has an extra passive skill. Clearly, only the number hold the difference. Following are the damage output for both weapon:
[Valkyrie Gloria]
VG is another Lance-user Fire Valkyrie that can greatly take benefit of SA. While VG has Eos Gloria for her signature weapon, it obviously cannot defeat a PRI-ARM that are also made for Fire Valk. Let number do the talk:
NOT SO MUCH
[Bright Knight Excelsis]
The only thing BKE can use from SA is the high stat of the weapon. All of SA passive weapon can only contribute for Fire Valkyrie, BKE as a Physical Valk could not take advantage of it. But if you want to increase the basic stat (ATK, CRIT) of BKE, then SA can do the job.
CONCLUSION
Sagittarius Astra is the 1st PRI-ARM for Lance-user so it is hard to make comparison. But it greatly benefit two out of three Valkyries that use Lance, and in my opinion it is worth our resources.
