It doesn't do that on iRO.
On iRO it's something uninteresting on Renewal, if it's available at all. On Classic, it can be overupgraded to give an int boost I think. But no +9%atk/matk.
With typical good gears, about 1/3rd of the damage is effected by +% atk effect, about 1/3rd by +% matk, and about 1/3rd by neither of them (status attack). So it would be a little better than EMH, but only a little. Oh, and buwaya is better for AB, the atk effected portion is a little smaller than the matk effected portion - and obviously, using elemental sword would make buwaya much better than bakonawa (cheaper too, I think).
I saw the actual hat in iRO few days ago, the description had the +9%atk/matk, and he definetly said the +9% atk/matk works. Forgot his name, but I could ask him to prove it with screenshots.
Ahh and the bako/buwaya would change my choices again, lol. Always thought Bakonawa was better. Let's say I have a perfect team combo, where my gene will sit far away and won't be killed by MvP's.
Since buwaya is always slightly better than bakonawa in terms of AB damage, lets say i'll be equipping x2 of them.
So, which would win: +12 Elemental Sword x3AS + 2 buwaya +12 RTS x3AS x1EA7 + 2 buwaya?Prob be hard to answer unless someone actually has all those right now to test. Anyone have buwayas by the way? I have bakonawa and just want to confirm the buwaya > bakonawa on AB damage.
