What's the best weapon in the game overall?
At least in your opinion?

For me it's the Ink Geyser/Frozen Geyser. It tracks enemies and attacks them from below, doing small but constant damage. It uses the ice element, which is the only one that really seems to be useful for disabling the enemies (short of curse, but nothing hits with full screen reach using curse) freezing very frequently and basically being able to pause waves of enemies before they get to you. And when you're dealing with fewer enemies, the geysers all gang up on the larger enemies, forming massive pools of stacked damage that you can lure them back into, while also freezing them. Give it size increases and quantity, and it can keep all spawns at the edge of the screen, permanently frozen while your other weapons whittle them down.

Ranger Bow is the best and this was confirmed by most players. Ink Geyser is quite weak actually, never pick it. Chain Lightning is also super cool. And of course toxic cloud is a must to pick for every round.

Yes, I said it was weak. I wasn't asking about damage. Ranger bow is very strong, sure, but it has issues sometimes with how it bounces once upgraded. I've has times it would get completely blocked by terrain or the sheer number of enemies. If you've never explored how Geyser works, consider trying it.

Why do you think so?
Ranger bow is only the best on Horizontal stages, and only if evolved. Otherwise, Spectral Dagger ranks the highest in terms of scaling off of raw stats and +projectile numbers, which is THE strongest stat in the game. This is due to the fact that its evolve splits projectiles automatically, which multiplies with +proj. With zero upgrades to anything other than +proj, you can clear some of the hardest difficulties as long as you favorite and get a decent projectile skill and all the +proj trinkets. It doesn't even matter if you evolve in most cases.

Results. It's been a while since I did a run but perhaps tomorrow I'll do one with the weapons mentioned here.

Only if you want to waste a weapon slot

Starfish is definitely a good one, along with Spectral Razor. But... wow 200+ minutes in a single run?! How did you even do that? Normally the damage and HP of enemies scales up as you play, until you *can't* kill them anymore and the run ends.
