So for a UA hero, is brandish/intrepid even worth it?

I'd drop some cubes on it. Just go for your first w.atk boost. You could get plenty of use out of that weapon. And its resell should cover the cost of a few cubes pretty easily.

As for your build, when i finish my dw and start my fighter, i'm planning on dropping brandish. It's not a pre-req for intrepid and intrepid beats it pretty early. so if you're doing more lhc or that type of mobbing at early levels, get it earlier, if not, don't.

FML just realized character gender is passed on. female UA FTL. I guess i should say i would've dropped brandish had i not made the mistake i made. No more UA hero for me haha such a fail.

Don't you want to be a heroine though? :V
