The best weapon for any hunter that isn't Sung Jinwoo will always be their exclusive weapon as these will provide exclusive bonuses and synergize well with the hunter's skills.

However, if you don't have their exclusive weapon yet, it's best to choose a weapon that with the relevant stats, fits their role, and has been leveled up.

The Steel Longsword is the best alternate weapon for Choi Join-In as it increases his damage without involving the critical stats.

Why was this character made so weak and pathetic? This is the strongest weapon of mankind, and in the game it is weaker than the B rank.
