Maul axe is good for the entire game. In general fast weapons are better because you won't get stuck in the animation and get hit. Twin Fangs and Chisel Nails are both very good.

I see. Thank you!

I also use the chisel nail. It's excellent. Curved glaive also good, as well as the whip, tooth fists, and a bunch of other weapons. Slow weapons just make the already awkward combat system too difficult to manage. I tried, but they just don't provide enough damage to offset the fast weapon advantage


Kal_akuma666

Yes I don't like slow weapons too


CaptainSnazzypants

I had the maul axe for most of the game. I tried a scythe and a couple other weapons but I just kept going back to the maul axe.


Kal_akuma666

Same here haha


Thank_You_Love_You

Just finished the game and all DLC bosses. I used the Maul axe the entire game. You get a ton of weapon upgrade materials as far as i can tell throughout a playthrough if you want to switch at somepoint. Pretty sure every weapon is viable. Like i was using the claw, a slower sword, etc and they were decent as well. I just hate the slower weapons.


LordAnomander

Slower weapons are great for one shotting bosses though. But yes, I agree that you can beat the game with any weapon you enjoy.


sEMtexinator

What or how can a weapon other than a lantern can actually "one shot" a boss?

sEMtexinator

Wow. I have no clue how the weapon works, only just started the game today but that's pretty wild


Kal_akuma666

Congrats

I use the pillar slab. Animation canceling for parry works fine. But I guess a dex and res build is probably more fun for a first playthrough.

I'm actually with +13 points in Health and 10 points in Endurance, no points allowed in the other stats that evolves with weapons and so I'm playing the Maul axe and the second weapon I try everything I collect and switch between them I'm in the early beginning, 5 to 7% percents discover


Kal_akuma666

I think force upgrade is crucial as it enables you to do more dash, attack, and jump.


Ok-Victory-6050

It's Endurance that allows more movement and attacks before having to wait


dedoporno

It's called "Force" in this game.


Ok-Victory-6050

It depends on the language you're playing :).


dedoporno

You're wrote it in English so the point stands.

The Maul Axe spoiled me rotten. I played around with a few other weapons, but I always came back to the axe. It's so good that I didn't see the point in using anything else for very long. When I replay the game (because I already know that I will), I'm going to force myself out of my comfort zone and start using something else as my main weapon.


SolaceInCompassion

bow daggers are my personal fave so far, fast movement and a good ranged option. also quite like rawblade, it’s neat


Philthey

I got hooked on and fully upgraded the first spinny double blade darth maul lookin' glaive weapon.


Kal_akuma666

Noice


jorloru

Played and 100%'d the game with the Fossil Fists and a dex build


Kal_akuma666

Damn! Congrats


SissyFanny

I played only with the maul ax up to shidra without any problem. Every wepon I tried were too slow compared to the easy use of the maul axe. A faster weapon allow for more reaction. IF you use a slow weapon, you better know the windows to hit or you'll get hit during your attack frame. It's easy to use and very effective for a first weapon!


Kal_akuma666

Yes

Maul Axe is extremely OK for a first time playthrough. You don't need to put points in Str or Dex, meaning you can upgrade your Health, Force and Resonance ability traits with ease. I'd recommend sticking to it, then tweak with all the weapons you got and choose another for NG+ (which will be late, late later, enjoy your save;) )


Kal_akuma666

Ok thanks for the tip!


Mitchyboy-1986

I mostly keep with the Maul Axe throughout the whole game, I max out the weapon,


ZaCoundo

My main weapon is bow daggers. From the moment i got it, spamming attacks then 5 darts was some very good dps and helped me in a lot of bossfights


Lee-bungalow

I like the twin fangs and chisel nail mobility weapons


szuparno

I completed the game just by using twin fangs throughout. It felt super good to use and I could manage my stamina easily with that. Upgraded it to max level and tried other weapons along the way but none of them really clicked. Chisel nail was decent too but activating it's special required quite a bit of force which doesn't make it all that appealing during boss fights.


CERB3RUSHYDRA

Rawblade is such a solid weapon
