The damage boost is quite nice.

Say you have 3000ATK with a 500% BB mod you'll deal something like 18500 base damage. Give or take math.

With a 50% bonus elemental damage your unit will do 27750 damage.

I assume the 20% of this item is based off that 50%. So it's increased by 60% instead of 50%. So now it's 29600. Which is a 1850 increase. With is ~ a 62% ATK sphere. Without taking up a stat slot.

This is assuming the bonus goes from 50% to 60%. I'm not sure how this mechanic works and I don't really see anything that telle me. But this goes up to 124% ATK boost if I'm wrong and it goes up to 70%. Both are quite large and don't require RNG to work. This goes up the higher your BB mod is as well. So a unit with Golem Core(150% boost) or have their own BB mod in an ES or other buffs such as Zenia/Dion/Lava. Or just high BB mods like Loch, Mifune or Rize.

Mifune with a Golem Core, Zenia buff/leader and this would become a 1300% BB mod. Using the same numbers for ease(since the % extra damage wouldn't change). 3000ATK(+100 flat from SBB) x 13 = 40300. 60450 vs Light. 64480 vs light+ this item. 4030 increase, Or the same as having a sphere with 134% extra ATK on. Again assuming it makes it a 60% increase. If it makes it 70% then it's worth a whoping 269%ATK. Higher than Sky Harbringer.

This is also not including other ATK mods which would be the same as adding more BB mod. Sky Harbringer would put Mifune at a massive 1530%BB mod.

Have to remember this only matters when a unit is attacking a weaker unit as it's base. So something like using Kira for FG farming, combining this with Golem Core on a unit is a massive boost. Zenia has  620% mod for example on her SBB.

Although this might change and requires further math as crit and spark mods are added in. Since the usual FG Kira squad uses Zenia as a friend for BB management the only spark buff you have is her 80% on her SBB. This would probably make a spark sphere stronger. But it's something to think about. Same thing with Crit mods.

But this post isn't about the best FG squad. It's about showing that this sphere, although limited in where it can used, is actually a huge damage boost.
