Hello all, could someone explain why the Eternal is only a Tier 1 weapon?

I have been very inactive on Subeta for several years now in terms of actually playing 'properly', I log on most days to train and visit the Bathhouse but that's all. That being said, I apologise if my above question regarding the Eternal is something obvious that I've simply missed! My battle set is a mess of old weapons I had collected over the years and I spotted that the Eternal was very low compared to other similarly expensive/exclusive weapons that I own.

Thank you.

It scales with your pet so at tier 5 it does the same as the other legends.

Thank you.

So does that mean that it will become a Tier 11 weapon when used with my Tier 11 pet...?

Again, apologies for my complete ignorance!

No it stops scaling at tier 5.

They really should just convert it back to a tier 5

Here are the stats I gather from subetalodge: Tier 1 (Default) Attack: 4-6 Fire Defense: 2 water

Tier 2 Attack: 9-10 Fire Defense: 3 water

Tier 3 Attack: 13-15 fire Defense: 3 water

Tier 4 Attack: 19-20 Fire Defense: 4 water

Tier 5 - above Attack: 20-22 Fire Defense: 6 water

-This is not a great weapon to use. There are much better weapons if you want to battle. This is more like a collectors weapon. It can become a decent weapon at tier 8 if you fuse it with another legendary and use Sentinel. Example: If you fuse it with Icekiss you will obtain a Contradiction. Which have the following stats: Attack: 16 Fire, 16 Ice (32 icons) Defense: 6 Water, 5 Magma (14 icons)

With Sentinel equipped: Attack: 18 Fire, 18 Ice (36 icons) Defense: 7 Water, 7 Magma (14 icons) Blessing: Elementalists Embrace Blocks 1 Fire, 2 Dark, 2 Magma (5 icons) Other: Heals 5-6%, slight chance to steal, slight chance to freeze

Still, it's a decent weapon but compare to weapons like: Reborn Icewand of Doom Attack: 6 Fire, 6 Ice, 4 Magma, 4 Water, 4 Wind (24 icons) Defense: 3 Fire, 3 Ice, 3 Magma, 3 Water (12 icons) Other: Heals 10%, slight chance to freeze Which gives out a lot more healing and doesn't occupy 2 slots on your battleset while is tier 6 vs tier 8... is kinda low.....

Thank you so much! You've said everything I need to know. I think it'll be heading into my vault or up for sale in that case. I definitely need to sort out my battle set but I thankfully don't have to rely on the Eternal to make up a part of it.
