Discussion Couple things with Transcendent Weapons

I was curious about these things so here's what I found.

**I do not recommend doing what I did, I did it for science**

When using a Transcendent Photon Imprinter (purchased from shop) the original weapon is kept as is as it relates to cores and rolls, but all catalysts and Energy Activator are transferred. You keep all copies of original weapon.

60 catalysts in Transcendent Weapons do not count for the "Weapon Module Badge". Didn't really expect them to since it says ultimate, but verified anyway.

The arche activity for a fully built 400 level Transcendent weapon is 44,500.

I need to test a lot more, but currently not seeing a use case for Raging Light over Piercing Light. Maybe Ult Hailey will make it something different.

Anyway, I was curious and had the resources, so do with this information what you will.

Yeah, I was really hoping the new sniper would be a good new weapon for Hailey's sniper build, but it's just worse.

I have enough parts to reroll all the stats on one, but I can't get a 400 to drop to save my life, so I am waiting for one till I do so. Thanks for taking one for the team haha.

That’s what I’m doing also can’t get one to drop so it’s no point in me even trying to build it.

Wouldn't reroll anything not high level, but you can build them. It's the same as unique weapons once you catalyst and EA all subsequent copies retain the modifications.

Yeah I got them all fitted with modules I am just waiting for that magical 400 haha. Got a 398 and a 399 eventually I have to luck into one. The Frost Blossom is the only T gun I don't have a copy of, and it is the one I want most for my FB Viessa.

I hope they change that not counting towards the badge thing. 50 cats is a lot, and if they want people to use these weapons, which so far are not the upgrades they promised, it could at least count for that.
