Understand Beginner's Protector
Useful when…
- Use as a basic polearm when a character needs one and no more suitable option is available.
- Consider replacing it when a polearm with a useful secondary stat or passive is available for the character.
What does it provide?
The weapon's listed stats are Polearm, 1-star rarity, 23.245 base ATK, and no secondary stat. No refinement ranks or passive ability are listed. Its contribution is therefore its weapon type and base ATK, without an additional stated effect.
What is a practical use?
It can fill the polearm slot when options are limited. The Catch offers Energy Recharge and a direct Elemental Burst damage and CRIT Rate bonus; Ballad of the Fjords offers CRIT Rate and conditional Elemental Mastery when the party has at least three different Elemental Types; Black Tassel offers HP and increased damage against slimes. Those weapons have their own requirements and uses, but their listed secondary stats or passives provide mechanics Beginner's Protector does not have.
Should it be upgraded?
The listed ascension track runs from stage 0 to stage 4. Supplied examples show costs for steps 0→1, 2→3, and 3→4. No refinement track or passive improvement is listed. Because the weapon has no listed secondary stat or passive, weigh ascension materials against the benefits of other polearms available to the character.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- It has no listed secondary stat or passive ability.
- Its listed base ATK is 23.245.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the weapon has a passive or secondary stat because other polearms do.
- Spending ascension materials without considering the listed mechanics of other available polearms.
