Current Recommendation
Do not trust pre-launch "best weapon" lists that name unverified weapons. The useful answer now is how the ranking will be tested: beginner safety, punish speed, boss control, upgrade cost, resource efficiency, and Phantom Edge synergy.
Ranking Criteria
- Beginner safety and recovery speed.
- Damage during short boss openings.
- Stagger, range, mobility, or control value.
- Upgrade material cost and availability.
- Pairing strength with Phantom Edges and builds.
Launch Plan
After release, this page should become a tiered guide with proof notes and links to each weapon page. Until then, use combat fundamentals and boss prep.
