This is a guide to the Best Weapons and Builds of all 18 playable characters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for the Nintendo Switch. Prepare your characters for the end-game challenges and battles with our recommended builds below!
Damage at Full Hearts amplifies the Master Sword's DPS together with the Sword Beam ability. Take note that this weapon skill is only recommended once you unlock the Master Sword's second hidden seal.
You can use either Attack Speed or Regular-Attack Damage for the meantime then just remove it later once you've maxed out the weapon.
After you unlock the combo upgrade where he can force weak-points on enemies, Attack Speed seals will be the best choice of weapon skill to stunlock strong enemies.
Stack Damage at 30% Hearts or Less seals and bring your health down by spamming his unique ability to increase his damage. This technique is quite dangerous so don't forget to heal self-inflicted damage with X or his special attack.
Spear Link has a decent attack speed and attack range to begin with so it would be best to increase his damage output. Mix in a couple of Attack Speed seals if you need a faster combo execution.
Impa can basically spam special attacks, thanks to her shadow clones. Stack Special-Attack Damage seals on her weapon to make the most of this ability.
Increase Mipha's attack speed to force weak-points on enemies more frequently. Midair-Attack Damage is for the attacks following the use of her unique ability.
Even though his unique ability is focused on his strong attacks, you need to increase his attack speed high enough to increase the chances of completing his combos with upgraded strong attacks.
Riju is good at clearing mobs with her dash attacks but not that good against strong enemies. Add in Regular-Attack Damage seals to increase her effectiveness on both types of enemies.
His Big Glowy Blast can only be used by spamming strong attacks. Give him attack speed boosts and make sure you end each combo with strong attacks so you can use his unique ability more frequently.
Since he can unleash two consecutive strong attacks with his unique ability, give him Strong-Attack Damage seals and just add in a couple of Attack Speed seals for faster combos.
Teba's "press x quickly" attacks all count as midair attacks. His falcon bow gives a midair attack damage boost seal at level 25. It gives another starburst shape seal at 30, so for the +20 attack you'll stack 2 midair attack seals and 2 other seals of choice. I'm using him to farm weapons so I have increase weapon quality, could easily use attack speed or the like.

So a major problem I have with this guide is the specific choice of weapons for link. If you look at their guide for all of links weapon choices there are a lot of problems. Why does the Ancient Battle Axe++ have half the damage of the + version and still less damage than the base version. Why are all his weapons listed as savage Lynel weapons when I can clearly see 3 weapons that you all have listed for each type that do more damage. If you don't have accurate damage numbers don't post them.
