Best Weapons Criteria

Full Criteria

Each of these factors determines the weapon's placement on the list. For a full explanation of the criteria, read on:

• Skills' Effectiveness - Determines if the weapon possesses the best skills in the game. It also determines how powerful the skill is against enemies or how helpful it is for the team.
• Total Stats - Determines the overall stats of the weapon. Basically, the higher the weapon's stats, the better it is for the character.
• Unlock Conditions - Determines which ones it unlocks as it branches out in the Weapon Development Tree when you develop it. Weapons that can unlock better weapons in the weapon tree as you obtain them will rank higher here, assuming they also have the best skills.
• Investment-Worthiness - Determines if the weapon is worthy of spending your resources on them. Weapons that can unlock better, or even the best weapons, will rank better here, for they'll have a better payoff in the late-game.
