Beginner's Best Weapon: Wheel Blade
The Wheel Blade features fast normal attacks with strong forward momentum, allowing players to reliably connect up to the second hit of its basic combo from a safe distance, while its Death Blow offers top-tier range and projectile speed, making it a technically sound and highly versatile weapon that performs consistently across a wide range of combat situations.
Beginner Survival GuideShield Recommended as Sub-Weapon
In the early game, your Armor is weak, and Guard is low, so for your sub-weapon, the Shield is recommended as it increases Guard by +30 just by equipping it. Even after obtaining powerful Weapons like the Wheel Blade, Katana, Hammer, or Arm, keeping a Shield equipped in one hand remains beneficial.
Tips for Choosing Weapons
Prioritize High Rarity Weapons
When choosing the best beginner weapons, remember that damage scales with a Weapon's Rarity. Sticking with Common Weapons for too long can make progression difficult. Regardless of weapon type, always aim to equip a Weapon with a Rarity equal to or one level higher than your Body level to stay effective.
How to Get Weapons and ArmorChoose Weapons with Powerful Perks
When you acquire equipment of the same Rarity and type, the main factor in deciding which to keep is whether it has useful Perks. For Weapons, the recommended Perk is 'Normal Attack+', which increases Normal Attack Damage.
