Quick answer
Choose the primary weapon whose safe sequence you can reproduce. The store confirms two distinct primary weapons that can be combined with skills and defensive actions, but it does not publish enough stable data for an evidence-backed absolute ranking.
Compare both weapons consistently
Test each with the same questions:
- How reliably does its opening attack connect?
- Can you recognize the point where a launcher is confirmed?
- How much control do you retain during an aerial follow-up?
- How quickly can you return to block, dodge, or reposition?
- Does the weapon still function when your preferred skill is unavailable?
Use ordinary enemies first. A boss phase can add armor, movement, or hazards that distort the comparison.
Build around comfort and coverage
A weapon is not better merely because its longest visible combo is longer. Reach, commitment, crowd coverage, and recovery can matter more during exploration. Pair it with a skill or Rune that addresses a real weakness rather than amplifying a strength you already have.
Community pages may use informal names or rankings that differ from the live interface. This guide intentionally avoids repeating an unverified weapon list. Confirm current move descriptions and balance in version 1.0.3c, then keep the choice that produces safer, more repeatable outcomes.
