Be warned though.
If you split your materia into three stats, you will not gain full bonus when upgrading to Nexus.

For example, my Novus was Det 18, Crit 24 and Acc 11 (to fill the rest), because I didn't want to buy several rank IV materias.

When I completed my Nexus, the result was Det 18, Crit 25 and Acc 11. So I've only gained 1 point whereas Nexus can gain up to 3 (No bonus point on Shield Nexus). I don't know yet the bonus you'll het for Excalibut but it already bugs me to "lose" some stat points.

I had 27 Parry and 26 Accuracy on the Sword and gained one of each. While an individual 1 or 2 points provide almost no effect whatsoever, I do hope that the points eventually catch up no matter how silly you melded the Novus.

If i dont remember wrong going from nexus to excalibur gave +1 on both stats if you only melded 2 what saddens me is that shield dont get any bonus points after initial novus melds even when using only 2 stats on that aswell. Not sure if its intended or did SE just simply forgot to add +1 to either of those 2 stats, because now that ilvl120 IW shield have one more secondary stat even tho its 5 ilvls lower than Aegis.
