Explanation
| Type | Grimoire | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Damage / Personal | AD Mai's personal grimoire also happens to be the best general crit rate grimoire available. For AD Mai specifically, this allows her to inflate her damage as it buffs both her crit rate and her crit damage by a good amount. | |
| Raw Damage | Arriving alongside Tenjo, this grimoire was among the first to creep launch grimoires by the volume of their effect. Not only does this give a bigger bonus to R/D than Sin Architect, it also has a disgusting atk stat. | |
| Raw Damage | Coming in with the D/S combination, Number Field brings quite a bit of punch to those higher end rolls, a useful choice on characters who don't want to be pressing R. Otherwise, just use Cascading Incandescence. | |
| Raw Damage | Currently the only crit damage boost grimoire. Coming alongside its high base atk, this grimoire boosts crit damage, making it extremely dangerous in the hands of anyone who can naturally deliver critical hits. | |
| Raw Damage | The effect is situational, buffing your attack based on what element of enemy you attack by a hefty amount. What is not situational is that massive atk stat boost you get just from equipping it. Depending on the circumstances, it can be one of the most damaging grimoires in the gmae. | |
| Raw Damage | Coming in with the awkward R/S combination, Mugen sacrifices atk power while also sacrificing the all important D button. It also has a low atk stat, meaning that even with its special boost, you are probably better off using Cascading Incandescence. | |
| Raw Damage | Throwing in Special does make this grimoire less terrible than other Distortion buffing grimoires, and it has a real attack stat. But you're better off using Imaginary Number Field. | |
| Raw Damage | A Brief Respite has better stats. | |
| Raw Damage | Cascading Incandescence has better stats and a better effect. | |
| Meter Build | The most damaging Overdrive Generation grimoire. | |
| Meter Build | A unique grimoire that adds both OD and Heat gen. Its also not a % based heat gen, but a flat amount that gets added on every D. A unique niche that has its uses | |
| Meter Build | The best defensive Heat Generation grimoire. | |
| Meter Build | The most damaging Heat Generation grimoire, and one of the most damaging grimoires overall. | |
| Meter Build | Its nothing special for meter generation. What is special is the Overdrive Extend, making it a valuable support grimoire. | |
| Meter Build / Personal | The best defensive Overdrive Generation grimoire. It turns into a real grimoire when attached to Es, as you sacrifice some OD gain for bulk. But none of the other OD grimoires are comparable to this one's bulk. | |
| Meter Build | Outclassed by Manifestation of Technique. | |
| Meter Build | Outclassed by Gain Art. | |
| Meter Build | Outclassed by Gain Art. | |
| Meter Build | A rare usable 4* grimoire. Outclassed by Imperator's Light, but still bulkier than the offensive heat gen grimoires. | |
| Defensive | Arriving alongside Izayoi, this grimoire was among the first to creep launch grimoires by the volume of their effect. Not only does this give a bigger bonus to DR than Imperator of War, it also has a disgusting def stat. | |
| Defensive | The first true support grimoire, and still one of the best. AOE damage reduction is a fantastic effect, and this one is the best at that. | |
| Defensive | The best Fortitude grimoire available. If the situation for this arises, its the best at it. But its still rather niche. | |
| Defensive | While Dance of the Exorcist provides more damage reduction to allies, this provides more bulk to the character it is attached to. Great for bulking up your support at the cost of some bulk on everyone else. | |
| Defensive | The best 5* regen grimoire. While it does have a higher regen rate than 4* Rachel Regen, its almost always outclassed by Rachel Regen. However, for those niche scenarios where healing is more important than defence (such as status effect spam), this one does more to help than the 4*. | |
| Defensive | The best regen grimoire. Even though its only 4 stars, it brings so much defense that it outclasses the additional healing provided by the 5* grimoires. There may be scenarios where Wings of Truth is useful, but this will be almost always better. | |
| Defensive | Used to be the best damage reduction grimoire, now its outclassed by Arbitrator's Might. | |
| Defensive | Always been outclassed by Imperator of War, and now Arbitrator's Might. | |
| Defensive | Outclassed regen grimoire. Use the 4* Rachel Regen. | |
| Hate Manipulation | Has the highest hate down effect in the game. It also has a very high defense stat, making it useful in case one does get hit. | |
| Hate Manipulation | The best hate up grimoire by default. Its bad, but in the niche scenario where you need this exact effect, it exists. | |
| Hate Manipulation | Has a very solid hate down effect. It also has an okay defense stat, making it useful in case one does get hit, but is outpaced by the other relevant hate down grimoires. Its still better than the rest of the hate down grimoires not mentioned. | |
| Hate Manipulation | Has a very solid hate down effect. It also has damage reduction, making it useful in case one does get hit, but is outpaced by Intelligence Department's defence. | |
| Hate Manipulation | Has an okay hate down effect. This used to be relevant when cost mattered, but it currently doesn't, so don't use it anymore. | |
| Personal | Nine is only useful for doing lots of damage. This grimoire buffs her damage output against Wind enemies considerably when pressing Drive. Outside that niche, you are better off using Cascading Incandescence for more general consistency. | |
| Personal | This grimoire is what enables Hazama to become a real offensive threat. Without it, he might as well be just a support. If you want support Hazama, use another grimoire, but if you want DPS Hazama, this is the only choice. | |
| Personal | When attached to Mei, this grimoire turns her into one of the best characters in the game. The AOE heals allow her to keep the team healthy while also stacking buff upon buff on them. Without this grimoire, Mei is not nearly as powerful. | |
| Personal | That 55% up Special is a trap. You get more consistent damage using a grimoire with a real attack stat like Number Field or Cascading Incandescence. But this does make for the most damaging special attacks. | |
| Personal | The damage reduction is negligible because of Celica's paper defenses, as well as this grimoire's bad bulk. Instead, the only value here is picking it for that status immunity on Celica, allowing her to cleanse her team of their multi-turn stuns if need be. | |
| Personal | If you are trying to make Shiori your primary attacker, this grimoire works. Otherwise, you are probably best picking a grimoire that inflates her attack stat rather than this to maximize her poison damage. | |
| Personal | Meifang is not a good damage dealer. However, on the off chance that you do want to punch things with her instead of Saya or Hazama or any other dark attacker, this grimoire helps. | |
| Personal | This does help Chachakaka do more damage, something she does enjoy doing a lot. However, you will probably not want to use this grimoire, instead opting for an Overdrive Generation grimoire to maximize her speed at pumping out those Overdrives. | |
| Farm Rewards | Player Experience up. Use it every round until level 100, then bench it. | |
| Farm Rewards | Increases your P$ gains just for existing. Put it on every farm team if you have free grimoire space. | |
| Farm Rewards | Increases your Character EXP gains just for existing. Put it on every farm team if you have free grimoire space. | |
| Unlisted 5 Stars | Same problems as Azure Grimoire. DD damage up is not exactly something worth buffing for overall damage when you can instead inflate your stats and damage with other effects. At least this one isn't outclassed by Photogenic Twilight. | |
| Unlisted 5 Stars | It has a big boost to DD and AH and base attack, but you will do more damage overall with a more consistent dps grimoire that increases a chamber attack's damage or crit rate. Or just Photogenic Twilight, which outclasses this entirely against its targets. | |
| Unlisted 5 Stars | For a damage reduction grimoire, it has some pretty worthless stats. And it only works against Fire and Wind too, giving you extra reason to never use it over any other 5 star damage reduction grimoire. Keep it for the art and never use it. | |
| Unlisted 5 Stars | The Healing Up effect is unique, but there isn't any scenario so far that warrants wasting the slot on your support. Using an aoe damage reduction grimoire does the same job, but is more universal, consistent, reliable, and has better stats. |
