Quick Gear Question For You Guys And Gals

Hey there. Been working lately on my Masamune and slowly but surely getting there. I know YGK SAM is garbage in abyssea, but I'd like to ask this anyway until I'm able to eventually finish the Masa so I have something to use in the meanwhile.

What would win in a 5HB situation, Kikugosaku or Keito +1? How about a Kiku vs. TPB Keito+2? I'm not good with this sort of thing, so I'll leave it up to you all. Thanks for reading.

5 hit, lets you WS in whatever you want. Upgrades would be Ganesha's neck, Onieros Ring if you have it, or Mar's Ring.

Don't waste your time with the TP Bonus if you're making Masamune, that's the best TP set you'll get for non Masamune.

What's so hard to understand about Austar's post, lol?

So Kiku? I was asking about the swords themselves with a 5HB, not the gear. Thank you for the answer.

Well it's kiku, and I answered your question that was gonna be asked next: "What's the best TP set look like for it?"
You're welcome.

Time spent on any other magian is time wasted if you're making Masamune.

Time spent on any other magian is time wasted in general. If you don't have/aren't going for Masa/Amano, then you shouldn't even be on the job.
