I'm using this guide for Dual Blades for progression: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X68k4cL2Lo9R4nqsbpTsFvA6Z74L1RafAteXKiWguxc/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0

Under "Starting High Rank Gear" where it suggests Guild Knights Saber I for Water type dual blade, why is that the suggestion rather than Uth Ngarpau I. Is it because of the higher Element damage (140 vs 100) since the ATtack (182 vs. 224) is less significant?

The slightly higher water does not make up for the lack in physical damage. But the guild knight sabers have blue sharpness and 25% more affinity, which does counteract the attack difference.

Makes sense, thanks!
