What Are Dim Glacier Weapons?

Dim Glacier weapons are another set of new archetype weapons introduced in Episode 19.
Unlike Glacier, Dim Glacier weapons are one of (if not the) best end-game weapons available as of Episode 19.
They are similar to Glacier weapons in which on their own they only give MATK, but have powerful enchants.
But what makes them truly powerful is their 2nd slot enchant which must be upgraded 4 times.
Their only downside is they are not suited for classes that uses multiple skills due to how their 3rd and 4th enchant works.
They also have their own refining hammer ( Dim Glacier Reinforcement Device (101637) ) which is technically free to use while you're making the weapon.
