Weapon Selection Tips

Match Your Class

Each class has weapons that synergize with their abilities. Check the 'Best For' section above.

Consider Range

Melee weapons need you to be close, putting you at risk. Ranged weapons are safer but often deal less burst damage.

Learn the Timing

Faster weapons are easier to use, but slower weapons often have better damage windows during boss staggers.

Special Abilities Matter

Weapon special abilities can make or break a build. Some are essential for certain boss strategies.

Upgrade Priority

Focus on upgrading one weapon to max before spreading resources. A +10 weapon is far better than three +5 weapons.

Experiment Early

Try all weapons in Chapter 1 to find your favorite before committing upgrade materials.
