Which weapons are the most overpowered?

[PewienCzlowiek]

In like, every or most of situations?

[Tatra]

King Bible is probably the best overall weapon once you've powered up a bunch and levelled it up. You do need those upgrades and levels though... If you're starting out, you'll probably get this the first time and look at the one little book appearing every now again to slowly rotate around your character doing not much damage and think "this doesn't seem all that good", and you'll be right. Give it time and attention, and it'll treat you right.

Garlic.

[Dr.Acula]

I don't understand the debate king bible vs garlic. The combination of both is what makes them strong. An enemy that gets close enough to be hit by garlic will have reduced pushback resistance and king bible will then do the pushback. They are creating a pretty solid shield against a lot of stuff.

Combine it with long range weapons like magic wand, lightning ring and axe and if all of them are evolved you're almost invincible.

It's Song of Mana

Even un-upgraded it's good. Upgrade is just better.

My one argument against king bible is it's really bad if you don't have enough damage to back it up

against some enemies and depending on curse it has poor knockback, and if the enemy gets past them you're suddenly having to shuffle about to keep them away because it doesn't help against nearby enemies.

This is why you combine garlic with king bible. Garlic weakens them and bible pushes them back.

Cherry bombs

Great AOE, attack rate, damage, bounce, knockback, no accessories needed. It's just the perfect weapon for this game.

balanced by being almost locked to a character

[Shinneh]

In terms of pure DPS the Hellfire wand with the new arcana seems mighty strong.

Then you've got to factor in spinach, increasing ALL your damage output.

That's also part of what makes Lightning ring so good, Duplicator is bonkers on its own.

[Superacestriker]

the 3 revives arcana makes the double guns very powerful

I mean, sure, but if the metric is "this weapon has to do everything by itself", no weapon is good enough. It's also why you really need to be powered up - you need that boosted damage, rotational speed, duration and cooldown, and that one extra projectile really helps Bible get started. Without all that, it sucks. With that, it is, and I'll use italics for emphasis this time because the word choice was deliberate, probably the best overall weapon.

Absolutely true. When running a Bible build, which I usually do, I tend to avoid Candelabra because of this, keeping Area lower to make it more reliable and reduce the gaps in the circle of defence it creates.

The debate comes because the topic is usually, explicitly or implicitly, about individual weapons, not strong combinations... and given these two are both constant (or near constant) AOE weapons centred on the player, they naturally wind up being compared.

[Fonzy]

LOL both King Bible and Garlic are pretty bad items, overall or by themselves, they lose power quick. Only good up till minute 15 or so, then completely become useless or worse, pull enemies in to you. The best weapon, by far, is the Pentagram, after the added upgrade it just became godlike, it was already a insta kill for 99% of the game's enemies, and now it added a free magnet to it, lol. It literally doesn't matter what else you pick as long as it can keep the enemies away from you for 30 seconds, then the moon triggers and gives you 2-5 level ups. And saying "overall" is stupid cause you can't play with just 1 weapon, you HAVE to pick up 6 eventually, which means any 5 weapons + penta is best.

[catromaji]

I find that the combined guns, vandalier, and la borra are super powerful. Apparently, the cat does a ton of damage too, but I am not sure how that one works.

[76561198939544394]

With Arcana update, I would Say La Borra (Evolved Santa Water)

[Nigrescence]

Garlic is very nice, but not necessary. Bible is incredibly strong. Fire Wand is great and since it's almost required you use Spinach anyway you may as well get it. Lightning Ring is great especially since Duplicator is strong for almost everything, much like Spinach.

However Santa Water and Runetracer are perhaps the strongest I've used.
