Understand Old Merc's Pal
Useful when…
- Equipping a claymore user when a basic weapon is needed.
- Early or limited-resource use where its known profile is sufficient.
Weapon profile
Old Merc’s Pal is a two-star claymore with 32.93 Base ATK. Its secondary stat is listed as none, and no refinement passive or ability is provided. Its known role is therefore a straightforward weapon contribution rather than a condition-based effect.
Ascension investment
The weapon’s ascension track runs from stage 0 to stage 4. Example steps show Mora and materials used at early, middle, and final stages. Since no passive is listed, ascension investment improves the weapon’s progression without unlocking a documented special effect.
Compared with more specialized claymores
Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword provides ATK and additional ATK tied to helping Melusines. A Teaspoon of Transcendence grants ATK and boosts Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl reaction damage after Charged Attack hits. A Thousand Blazing Suns grants temporary ATK and CRIT DMG after using a Skill or Burst, with additional conditions tied to Nightsoul’s Blessing. These have explicit bonuses absent from Old Merc’s Pal, but their mechanics are not implied by the basic claymore’s profile.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- No secondary stat or listed passive provides a specialized benefit.
- Its listed ascension track ends at stage 4.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting a passive effect or secondary stat that the weapon does not have.
