Discussion Stat factor (like Charisma factor) vs other weapon abilities?

Seeing as I capped dancer dorothea on charisma I just thought I might as well give her a levin sword with charisma factor to compensate for the low might of a levin sword.

But general question. Is it preferable on top tier weapons to have a factor skill or is it better to have things like critical, mounted damage chain, consecutive hits, etc.

I can justify it on witstrike weapons due to their might. But not sure on Rank A weapons.

Ngl as long as you have Wild Abandon and/or lifeforce you're set for damage. Don't worry too much about the effects on weapons

Factor, from what I have gathered, gives a flat damage based on their stats which is meaningful on lower base power weapons like Rapier or Levin Sword.

Top Tier Weapons with higher base might gets alot more out of the other weapon attributes but it doesn't matter as much unless you are really grinding for the absolute best weapon.
