Best Weapon Choices for Lightning Ch 11-13

Many players are at a loss when they arrive at Chapter 11. The enemies are tougher and they know that the end is near so they want weapons that will last and work well until Orphan. Here are some of my top choices for weapons for Light and you're welcome to suggest others as long as there's a valid reason:

She's a very flexible character, if you know what I mean. She can be a fantastic COM, a super speedy RAV...anything really. What she's best though is casting. She has an insane casting speed. That takes out all weapons with more STR than MAG and definitely the Organyx. You're left with quite a few choices. The top two (in my opinion) are the Hauteclaire and the Edged Carbine. The Hauteclaire is for a leader Light. She can switch between roles with no problem. Enemy resistant to STR? No problem. Resistant to MAG? No problem. Since the Hauteclaire has equal stats (somewhere in the 700's for both STR and MAG at T3*), you will never feel at a loss. The stagger lock isn't a big deal either as long as the other two members don't have stagger lock. The Hauteclaire is just for a leader Light though. For an AI controlled Light, you need a weapon that pushes one stat way over the other. There's only two, the Gladius and the Edged Carbine. Like I said above, her casting speed is insane so the carbine is the clear win. Ending with about 200 STR and 700 MAG in T3* (I don't remember very well), the AI won't get "confused" and mix up the spells and the -strikes. Now, I have my reasons for not listing the Lionheart and the Axis Blade. The Lionheart has a measly 500 MAG and 500 STR at T3* and to control the spell -strike confusion, she has to be a leader. If she's going to be a leader...Hauteclaire of course...c'mon, who wouldn't want those stats? The quick stagger isn't a big deal either. Time for the Axis Blade. It's speedy and fits the "agile Light" theme very well, but it's not worth upgrading farther than T1. The T3* stats are horrible. If you aren't planning to take weapons to T2 or T3, then the Axis Blade is right for you.

Topic creator person, yer absolutely correct and that's what I was planning to do anyways so...thanks for the help! Slenderman guy, did u read the end of his/her thing? Seems like yer fighting a fight that's already done and over...

I think that the TC meant that using Hauteclaire would be good if u manually input the attacks, as most people do when they reach the later chapters. However, I'm switching between a Razor Carbine* and a Helter-Skelter*, depending on the battle. Yup yup, I totally agree on the Sazh info too. Would Deneb Duellers be a good choice? I think that's what he's using but I don't remember the stats.
