Which is generally better, Blade/Armored FB, or Katana/Battle FB?

[Foxhound3857]

I'd like to know the statistical differences between the two different builds, including damage/defensive capabilities, costs, is it worth the hit in DEX, etc?

I'm still early in my FB career and I want to experiment and find out if it's worth raising STR enough to use RedOsm/Terra Armor and Blade as opposed to the Katana/Battle gear.

Thanks.

Either way you're only comparing 68 points, 340 str (blade) - 272 str (katana)

68 * .125 (def gain per str) = 8.5 def
68 * .15 (def gain per dex) = 10.2 def
68 * .1 (magic per str) = 6.8 magic
68 * .25 (magic per dex) = 17 magic
68 * .1 (def rate per str) = 6.8 def rate
68 * 1.0 (def rate per dex = 68 def rate
68 * .24 (atk per str) = 16.32 atk
68 * .23 (atk per dex) = 15.64 atk

dex gives 1.7 def, 10.2 magic, 61.2 def rate
str gives .68 atk

Cannot compare other factors such as armor pieces such as forcium because it will raise your int.

TL;DR - Doesn't make a difference, stop acting like it does.

Can I get some elaboration and reasoning instead of just a few numbers that make no sense to me?

Dex > Str is what the numbers points out to
n for the blade/kat its all up to ur preference theyr only 2 att diff

What level do FB's usually start PvPing seriously?

Once you're maxed trans basically. But the 170+ have the extra sword buff advantage. Which is huge.
