Best Early Game Weapons

List of Weapon Types
One-Handed	Two-Handed	Ranged

Best One-Handed Weapons

Weapon	Stats Special Effects
Sword of the Lord	Attack: 13 Attack Speed: Lv.2 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: 0
Sword of the Wolf	Attack: 12 Attack Speed: 0 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: 0
Tauria Curved Sword	Attack: 15 Attack Speed: Lv.1 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: 0

The Sword of the Lord is a great early game weapon as it is the first weapon you obtain with Abyss Gear, it also has Lvl. 2 attack speed, which makes it great for Dual-Wielding. Despite being a default gear, the Sword of the Wolf is a great starting weapon as it has more serious damage compared to the earlier weapons you obtain in the game.

The Tauria Curved Sword is a mid-game weapon that is extremely popular due to its unique Abyss Gear, Crow's Pursuit. This makes it a top tier weapon to obtain.

Best Two-Handed Weapons

Weapon	Stats Special Effects
Rhett's Longsword	Attack: 15 Attack Speed: 0 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: Lv. 1
Hwando	Attack: 19 Attack Speed: 0 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: Lv. 1

The Rhett's Longsword and the Hwando are the earliest two-handed weapon you can use. Both has high attack damage and it can hit multiple enemies at a time, giving you a decent option for early exploration.

On top of what's mentioned above, the Hwando already has a set of Abyss Gear which makes it more powerful!

Best Ranged Weapons

Weapon	Stats Special Effects
Grey Wolf Bow	Attack: 10 Attack Speed: Lv.1 Move Speed: 0 Crit Rate: 0

The Grey Wolf Bow is the ranged weapon you start with as Kliff. Despite its initial stats, it is very easy to upgrade, allowing you to ramp up its damage through multiple reinforcement tiers.
