Seven weapon types are currently confirmed

Great Sword, Long Sword, Dual Blades, Hammer, Lance, Heavy Bowgun and Bow are named in both current official mobile-store descriptions. The current named Adventurer evidence used below supplies pairings for six of them; Hammer remains confirmed without a named pairing on this page.

This archive uses currently accessible official material. A missing release date, platform, weapon or value stays unconfirmed instead of being filled with rumor, beta memory or a tier list.

What this list does not prove

  • It does not prove that seven is the final number of weapon types; Google Play explicitly says more weapons will join in future updates.
  • It does not prove that Adventurers can never change weapons.
  • It does not establish motion values, exact skills, upgrade trees or launch balance.
  • It does not support a best-weapon or weapon-tier ranking.

Those answers require current release-build evidence, not a store description or roster card.

Choose by the role you need

For now, the cleanest decision is role coverage: Assault for direct pressure, Disruptor for interference and Support for team utility. The same weapon can appear across more than one class—Bow and Lance already do—so weapon name alone does not define the full job.
