Upgrade Bombs via Ina the Bomb Maker

Which Weapon Should You Use?
Adjust Based on Enemies
No other weapon is stronger than the other, but some will fare better against certain foes. For example, an Odachi will easily cut down larger foes, but struggle with enemies that are swift. It would be best to utilize Atsu's whole arsenal to take on the Yotei Six!
Use a Weapon With the Moveset You Like
While it is advantageous to swap around weapons based on your enemies, the game itself does not punish you for sticking to a specific weapon or playstyle you are interested in. Designing a kit around what you like most will always be the best option!
