Weapons Guide

The workshop is a decision system, not a recipe list. Build around the openings you can recognise, then use assembly to change reach, rhythm and utility without losing control of the fight.

Read the weapon in two parts

BladeAttack endThe striking component of an assembled weapon.
HandleMoveset endThe attack rhythm and handling you perform.
CombinationPractical fitJudge the complete result in real openings.
Legion ArmUtility layerA swappable special ability beside the weapon.

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

  1. 01
    Use every basic attack

    Note which attacks move you forward, cover a wide angle or lock you into a long recovery.

  2. 02
    Test the shortest safe answer

    Find the attack you can reliably land after a small enemy opening.

  3. 03
    Test the committed answer

    Know what you use only after a stagger, long recovery or other clear opening.

  4. 04
    Fight a familiar enemy

    Compare the complete encounter, not one isolated hit.

Keep the comparison clean: change only the assembled weapon or Legion Arm, then fight the same kind of enemy under similar conditions.

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.
