Every weapon type in the launch roster

These seven names are confirmed by the official Google Play description. The play-style column is a starting-point summary of each weapon family, not a damage ranking or a retail-build combo guide.

WeaponCore choiceTry it if you prefer
Great SwordCommit to slower, heavier attacksDeliberate positioning and rewarding single openings
Long SwordBuild momentum through flowing melee sequencesMobile close-range combat and learning attack rhythm
Dual BladesStay close with rapid attacksFast pressure and frequent small decisions
HammerUse weighty blunt-force attacksA direct melee style with impactful hits
LanceBalance reach and a guarded approachMeasured advances and holding your ground
Heavy BowgunDeal damage from ranged positionsHeavier ranged play and careful positioning
BowMaintain mobile ranged pressureDistance, aiming and adjusting your angle

Your Adventurer matters too

The official listing says that each weapon can form a unique combination with an Adventurer and unlock a new follow-up technique. That means two players using the same weapon family may not have identical combat options.

When comparing setups, record both the weapon and the Adventurer. Do not assume that a beta build, another character or another weapon has the same follow-up input or unlock condition.

Which weapon should a beginner choose?

Start with the weapon whose basic rhythm you can repeat without fighting the camera. Bow is a useful experiment if you want to observe from farther away; Lance suits a measured approach; Great Sword teaches patience around openings. None is automatically the best choice for every Adventurer or monster.

Try one melee and one ranged option in an easy hunt. Keep the one that lets you read the monster, evade reliably and recover your position—not simply the one that produces the largest first hit.

Why there is no damage tier list here yet

A useful tier list needs retail-build damage testing, Adventurer combinations, upgrade states and monster matchups. Store descriptions establish the roster, not the strongest setup.

We will not label a weapon S-tier or publish exact combos from an old beta as launch facts. Check your own move list and upgrade screen while this guide remains focused on choosing a style.
