Both are required for uncapping characters , and that ' s what you ' ll mostly be needing them for . However , they do have other uses , like you noted , hosting omegas . You can host omegas of your offelement for pendant farming , and then you can host your onelements so you can get the host red box which has the highest chance of dropping SSR equipment for you , or you can hold them until you can MVP the said element and get two red boxes .
