best weapon combo

[Bro_Dirt]

what do you guys think is the best combination of weapon types is? iv been trying bow with hammer for the chaser+ stuff but boy is it difficult to actually get off (is it just me?) with a HH for heals/buffs

[doordash me some dopamine]

I think it's just best to have 1 of each type(slash, blunt, pierce). I run a sword and shield, hammer, and bow. But it's preference really.

I had the same thought and yeah following up your own inflicted bow status effects with hammer seems extremely situational cause you not only have to get the proc, but then get at least one but preferably two head to heads with hammer to make something of it and monsters are usually dead as dirt at that point. Probably becomes more viable later on.

Horn is good because buffs, while SnS has the counter ability which is also quite solid. Between bow and gunlance, bow is probably the better option. Gunlance is far too reliant on being targeted for H2Hs to generate Kinship, as well as requiring multiple turns to build up ammo, so bow has the advantage there. That being said, gunlance has a nice block move and comes with defense bonuses.

From my testing the chaser skills on hammer remove the status on the monster.

That doesn't matter against sleep but with poison it seems better to just let it keep ticking...

Anyway - horn for buffs - sns to trigger status on dual attacks - pierce bow to damage parts
