Which legion arm to upgrade

[mayhem523]

I only have 4 so far, I was thinking about upgrading the fire one. Or should I just save the materials for a later arm?

Whichever looks most fun to you? If you're asking for opinions Ill never get bored of puppet string. https://streamable.com/fac0ur

Puppet String, Aegis, and Falcon's Eye are the three most generally useful ones.

Puppet String, I'd wager, is the best general purpose Arm. Nothing crazy, but does an excellent job at what it's supposed to do.

Think of Nero's "Devil Bringer", just less flashy.

Agree with others on Puppet String. The Trace skill is super handy for elites/bosses that move around a lot so you can get close to them fast without using stamina or losing much time if they are about to stagger.

Plus - it helps anywhere there are clusters of enemies since you can pick them off a bit.

All of the elemental ones are garbage.

Fulminis is basically a melee attack that needs to be charged up to reach its maximum effect. You'll basically never even get this off.

Flamberge is a flamethrower that builds up power the longer you hold it down. Same issue as Fulminis, the enemies will simply beat you to pulp while you try to roast them.

Pandemonium doesn't affect enemies with a direct hit, it only ever covers the floor and only ticks while they stand in it. It also just doesn't do enough damage to be worth it.


Falcon Eyes is strong, but it has a very high energy consumption, so you won't be able to use it often enough to do any real work with it.

Deus Ex Machina is probably the most useful one for actually doing damage because it synergizes with melee by allowing you to set a trap for charging enemies. But it isn't particularly fun to use outside of that.

Aegis I haven't tried.

Puppet String is IMO the best if you want to play the game "as intended", since it allows you to grab enemies or get extra mobility while focusing entirely on melee.

Aegis and puppet string are the most useful, and i honestly like the starter arm too since its just a nice strong punch that doesn't take forever to go off

falcons eye and whatever element you dont feel like carrying a backup weapon for. spam the gun on big guys when you just dont feel like dealing with them, its completely broken when upgraded.

So far, I enjoy the elegance of a the nice simple strong punch and I really wish that it could have been upgraded like the rest, even if it was only changes to numbers and not animations.

Like, for instance, the first upgrade lessens charge time for the punch, the next increases stagger damage, then the next is energy consumption so you get more uses out of it, and finally the scaling goes up a letter grade, increasing its damage.

Upgrade it fully, and it just becomes a super strong punch.
