Just made a video about my experience in test server about my initial thoughts on how DB Astra Katara works in GMS.

TMS said they would include SW Kataras as part of the Kataras able to be transferred into the Astra Katara.

Problem is Sweetwater Katara even at 22* gets you a vastly different result compared to just transferring a 22* Arcane.

An Arcane Katara at 22* gains 194 ATT from SF.
An Astra Katara made from a 22* Arcane Katara gains 223 ATT from SF.


A SW Katara at 22* gains 152 ATT from SF.
An Astra Katara made from a 22* SW Katara only gains 188 ATT from SF.

Dual Blades who are turning a 22* SW Katara into an Astra lose 35* and don't get to keep any BOSS or IED. An Astral Katara's SF bonus should be the same regardless if it was made from an Arcane or SW Katara.

Also there seems the conversion seems to be wrong as you are supposed to be given free scrolls if your material Katara has an item score of 324 instead of directly transferring scroll. Also perks about GMS is it has 2 hammer slots while KMS has 1 so all items here have one more enhancement slot than KMS. So Astra in KMS has 10 while GMS has 11. If they actually want to make the transfer work, an item score of 324 should result in the user getting 11 free Katara scrolls.




TLDR: DO NOT turn your Sweetwater Katara into Astra Katara. Justice for SW Katara
