Read the weapon in two parts
Official descriptions confirm that blades and handles can be mixed and matched. Treat the finished combination as one tool: reach, recovery and the shape of each attack determine whether its theoretical strength reaches the enemy.
A five-minute test before upgrading
- 01Use every basic attack
Note which attacks move you forward, cover a wide angle or lock you into a long recovery.
- 02Test the shortest safe answer
Find the attack you can reliably land after a small enemy opening.
- 03Test the committed answer
Know what you use only after a stagger, long recovery or other clear opening.
- 04Fight a familiar enemy
Compare the complete encounter, not one isolated hit.
Choose a Legion Arm for a job
The official game description presents Legion Arms as swappable abilities for different playstyles. Pick one because it solves a repeated problem—closing space, controlling an enemy or adding a specific utility—not because it looks strongest in a disconnected demonstration.
Common workshop mistakes
- Upgrading before testing the complete moveset.
- Judging only the largest hit while ignoring how often it lands.
- Changing weapon, Arm and strategy at the same time.
- Copying an endgame combination without the habits that make it work.
