So I've been debating whether to get Raider's Twin Swords or DW Twin Swords. I've also been debating about the Chiulin Twin Spears, Braid-Tassel Twin Spears, and Raider's Twin spears. My question, as the title says, is which one I should use? I know that Raider's Swords have more crit but less atk than DW so my question is is it worth sacrificing attack for more crit when using swords? For the spears, I know that chiulin has that -9 atk spd but has more crit than braid tassel. If I were to put leopard's and maelstrom on the chiulin, I'd have 0 atk spd but the thing is I'd be will a certain amount less atk than Braid if I had put something as a prefix and maelstrom as a suffix. Generally, my whole question is, is the crit gain worth sacrificing atk or atk spd or both? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Forgot to add the Twin Sabers (basically the in between of DW and Raider's)

As for swords, I would say go with DW twin swords because it has the higher attack, I slapped some critical increase enchants on my other gears to compensate, and also capped Crit helps.
With spears, it's more about DPS, and since spears tend to hit more criticals than sword (with maxed Fury Infusion), I would go with the Braid Tassels. Of course, I'm only saying this based on my style/preference of playing, which is to not GF all over the place, for others it can be different. Please don't take just my opinion, ask some others!

Dreamwalker Twin Swords. Raider's Twin Swords will outperform them once they're over +10. I'm talking something like. . .+12-+15. YOu can get Master Enchant which adds 5% crit and it goes on your tunic. Relentless/Maelstrom can add more crit.
As far as the spears go, Braids are seen as the best. I'd say the - attack speed of the Chiulin makes them not viable, even with Leopard's. The speed braids give is always helpful, plus their pretty easy to make.

Okay thanks for the advice. Just wondering but what about the Raider's Swords makes it better than the DW swords if both were +13?

Reaching +13 probably puts you closer to the attack cap on all the raids. At +10, you might still be feeling the lower attack.
In other words, the benefit of having more attack slowly tapers off, meaning that higher crit/attack speed becomes more efficient at boosting your DPS.
But it's also worth noting that you'd need to blow up Raider's weapons (meaning Glas Pants) in order to make a +13. I'm not sure if they give you the Glas Pants back upon blowing up a Raider's. If they do, then it'd be somewhat viable to try and +13 a Raider's. I know Dreamwalkers do NOT give you back the Thor Weapon, meaning you have to get a new one.

You never get the rare component to an item upon blowing it up, from what I've heard. You don't even get either of the two emblems it takes to make a Scythe of Caresses.
