Best Weapons Evaluation

Twin Axes - S Tier

Lymbic Twin AxesLymbic Twin Axes Lymbic Sphere Neutral
Guard Protection 0%
Lymbic Theft 19%
Parry Agility Attack Speed
A S

The Twin Axes is one of the earlier weapons you'll get in the game but that doesn't mean it's a weapon you'll eventually throw away for others. The Twin Axes sports the highest attack speed out of all the weapon types in the game which lets you parry much easier despite its low parry agility. You can also quickly weave in and out of combat due to the weapon's short attack strings.

Due to the weapon's insanely fast attack speed, you're also able to steal a huge amount of Lymbic Energy despite its lower value and a huge amount of healing from Healing Pulse.

Two-Handed Sword - A Tier

D D

The Lymbic Greatsword may seem underwhelming at first with its slow attacks. However, once it gets leveled up and you obtain more glyphs to customize your weapons, the Greatsword becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Since all enemies have parryable attacks, pairing the Greatsword with the Mark of the Betrayed significantly increases your damage whenever you successfully parry. The weapon also boasts a high combo damage, with the final attack reaching over 1000%. However, while it has the highest Lymbic Energy capacity, the amount you replenish per enemies hit is low, because each combo only consists of three total hits.

Polearm - A Tier

Guard Protection 10%
Lymbic Theft 16%
Parry Agility Attack Speed
C B

The Polearm is a balanced weapon that has decent parry timing and attack speed. It is faster than the Greatsword and the One-Handed Sword in terms of finishing a combo of normal attacks, making it a good weapon for Glyph skills use, as it has a higher Lymbic Energy capacity than the Twin Axes.

One Handed Sword - B Tier

Lymbic SwordLymbic Sword Lymbic Sphere Neutral
Guard Protection 15%
Lymbic Theft 21%

B C

The Lymbic Sword doesn't posses any of the advantages of other weapon types. It does not hit extremely hard not is it fast. But it also has little to no weaknesses that makes it an unwieldy weapon.
