What weapons to seal

[Ender]

With all the new weapons and the ability to seal more of them, i was wondering what weapon combos people currently suggest and what to seal away

[GuineaPrince]

Whichever ones just get in the way of my weapons of choice.

I don't seal weapons... but... Probably Pentagram, Pinion, and Cross... and a few of the Emergency Exit's weapons (Some evolve into pure trash).

I'd also would personally ban the Birds... but people disagree.

There is also only one weapon where I'd actually would seal the evolved form... The Kimono's upgrade is actually worse than its base form. (MAYBE also the Vent's upgrade)

Ok here is my totally biased list of weapons I don't like or think are bad. They usually do the lowest DPS even if you specifically build for them or they have bad targeting , slow attacks or other major drawbacks.

Just a reminder leave the upgraded forms unsealed since you might want to take them with hyper candybox and you don't need to seal them if their 1st form is sealed since they won't appear otherwise.

Anyways here's my list.

    
• Shadow Pinion Is strong but It was the first thing I sealed and I never unseal it , Seal it unless you don't mind how this weapon functions , personally I hate the movement to aim it.
  
      
• Knives are crap , so is Bracer (projectile speed actually lowers dps on attacks that pierce because they pass thru the enemy quicker and hit less times) , seal both.
  
      
• Whips are crap seal both , leave fuwafufufufu unsealed so you can take it with a hyper candybox if you want.
  
      
• Birds aren't real , seal em.
  
      
• Axe sucks, seal it.
  
      
• Magic wand isn't worth it unless you are going Out of Bounds / Jail of Crystal build.
  
      
• Fire wand similarly is only good with Heart of Fire / Waltz of Pearls.
  
      
• Pentagram isn't bad but I usually seal it just to try something fresh.
  
      
• Bone , Cherry Bomb , Carello , Celestial Dusting , La Robba , Party popper , the crap pack on sale at your nearest scam merchant, Seal em all.
  
      
• Flash Arrow is weak unless you are going for a coin build for it's upgrade , Conveniently it uses the crappy bracer we already want to seal so no problem sealing this one too.
  
      
• Shadow Servant I usually seal even though I like it and it's upgrade, currently it makes the entire screen black and I want to be able to see (we really need some transparency options for visuals)

I mostly ignored the DLC and newer weapons since you might want to try new stuff but
I usually seal most of the amongus stuff and just leave 1 or 2 I want to test out unsealed.

I used to always seal Cross but Santa has a hidden perk where if you level cross , Santa water and Bible all to max level WITHOUT having their upgrade secondary they will upgrade automatically and also become hidden which means you get 3 more weapon slots to fill up (if you weren't already over the 6 cap).

Just tried this after seeing your comment and can confirm.

Only item worth keeping from Emergency meeting is the scanner. Incredibly powerful with high cooldown reduction.

I seal Flash Arrow, Shadow Servant, the 3x blue for the union, Mille Bolle blu, mirage robe, summon night, the 2 pistols, laurel, clock lancet, shadow pinion, gatti amari, fire wand, axe, dagger, magic wand, bracelet, birds.

Dont diss the whips, they are really good when upgraded and have a strong heal component.

I didn't know that, I'm going to have to try that next time!

Regarding sealing emergency meeting weapons. You -dont- need to seal the crewman accessories! Its a trap that you can do it.

They will ONLY ever appear if you take their respective weapon. So there is no need to use a seal on them.

[calderracrusade]

Every weapon has a build. So just speaking generally.

Shadow Pinion, Celestial Dusting, Arrow, and Knives can all be annoying with movement. Good seals in general.

Guns, Gatti Amari, birds, and the wands. All good seals if you don't do those builds.

Emergency meeting weapons are mostly fine. But I could see sealing them just for flavor and RNG help.

Laurel and lancet depend on whether you're doing The Thing. If you don't like this strategy or play on a stage without it more power to you. Laurel can really make some builds though. Where the garlic haters at? Garlic is like laurel, it absolutely saves some runs. I keep them.

Robba and gag weapons are hilariously good fun with amount and area. Bone funny. But if you just want power builds and not lulz I get sealing them.

Most beyond this have potential to fill in builds when you can score a 7th weapon. Summon night combos off duplicator. So I'm fine keeping most of the rest.

Whip evolutions save a lot of builds. Probably keep them. Axe evolution is fine. I'd have to be desperate for RNG to seal axe.

Pentagram is so OP as a hail Mary when I can't get some build to work. I could see sealing it just for boredom. But I don't overuse it.

The reason you usually don't seal gag weapons is because... they don't appear.

Though... the worst Gag weapon is definately the poppers by a huge margin... I actually LIKE hats... and honestly Robba is pretty good too.

Yes, the gag weapons and the other unupgradeable ones they have such a low chance to appear that its not worth using a seal on them.

I dont have the space to spare on clock lancet or laurel in my builds, but i always try to take the stage items related to them for more curse. I think their evolved forms takes away too much challenge.

Shadow Pinion 100%.
Seal the birds too if you're feeling wild and enjoy the run.

I change it all the time. I just seal every weapon and accessory I for sure won't use on the character/build I'm playing. That way I'm able to get the right setup fast.

Just remember theres no need to seal the amongus accessories, they only pop if you get the corresponding weapon. Which never happens if you just seal the weapon.
