■ [Weapon Uptiering] Details

Combining a +10 upgraded ★4 weapon with the new god girl [Itaka] can upgrade certain weapons into a ★5 version, which will be referred to as uptiering to prevent confusion with upgrading.

In the weapon upgrading screen, you can now select certain +10 ★4 weapons which will prompt you to select [Itaka] as a material. The higher rarity the weapon is, the stronger the uptiered result will be.

⇒ Uptiering a weapon requires Itaka, Yakumo Orbs, and Gold
※ There is no uptier chance, the combination is guaranteed
※ The uptiered weapon will have 0 upgrades. As a result, the uptiered weapon may have slightly less ATK than the +10 upgraded weapon used.
※ The weapon being uptiered will be consumed.
※ Weapons that do not have uptiered versions cannot be uptiered, even if they are at +10
※ More uptiered weapons are planned to be added in the future.

Seito and her panda are quite a bit stronger, but the general consensus seems to be she's still lacklustre. Shikin and Ryuukyuu seem to be much better.
A lot of focus is put on her panda, which seems very strong now that it has 2-hits and the kai buffs it quite a bit, but it's really out of meta to use a token to attack.

New weapon uptiering also mentioned something to do with rarity, but you can only uptier certain ★4 weapons right now and they all gain +6 ATK, so either there is a hidden rarity inside the ★4 rarity or they're referencing when you will be able to uptier ★3s into ★4s
