The Plucked Heart is the strongest Archistaff you can buy early on from Celeste's Smithy in Checkpoint Rest Town.
 Solar Providence
|
Strength: 50 Magick: 299 Slash Strength: 0 Strike Strength: 100 Knockdown Power: 88 |
|
Element: None Debilitations: None |
In the midgame, the Solar Providence should prove more powerful once you purchase it from Awaran's Arms.

|
Element: None Debilitations: None |
The Dragon's Wit is the strongest Archistaff in the game. However, you can only purchase it with Wyrmslife Crystals in the postgame. The best alternative for a first playthrough would be the Lion-Lord's Archistaff since it also has the lightning element.

Sorcerers are the only ones who can use Archistaves in the game, meaning no other character with different vocations can equip it. Archistaves increase the Magick of a Sorcerer, boosting its offensive spells in a battle.
How to Unlock Sorcerer Vocation
Sorcerer Pawns can also equip and use an Archistaff. You can consider giving them a better one other than their default Archistaff to improve their overall stats.
Archistaves are different from Staves, not only in their sizes. Archistaves are designed for Sorcerers, and Staves are for Mages only. It means you can't equip an Archistaff on a Mage or Staff on a Sorcerer.
