Artian Weapons

Artian Weapons are a mistake: The Artian weapons waste the great variety and artistic aspect, making the game look boring and ugly.

Personally, i think artian looks cool, really like how it looks with the artian armor too.

[Toez]

I just think its dumb to have a separate category of weapon for whatever reason, why even make them

Artian are not mandatory at all. Just having tons of fun not using them.

as far as I've seen so far, lala barina > most artian weapons for para, for example.
Artian weapons are far from optimal in all cases. ^^''
The lbg's can only get normal shot rapid fire, they can't get pierce, another thing that is meh about them. Lots of things like this I could say. :P
The big gimmick artians have is 3 lvl 3 slots, but most monster weapons have decent skills baked in. ^^''

Artian weapons are not required. In fact, theres several monster weapons that are better. Not only that, they dont change the way the game plays/feels in anyway. Unless you like build-crafting. The games plays the same with or without artian weapons.

1. They are optional
2. They only have so many monsters in for weapon designs

Layer weps hopefully will fix this, but I'd pref to have more options with the weapons like *raw up and aff down* kinda parts etc. I'm completely bored of being forced into elemental things or status if I choose not too.

i feel like if artian weapons were to be released it should have been either a dlc thing or like a massive long ass event quest thing that gave you lore to support their existence... like oh hey we were reading some books in the ruins of wyveria and weve been seeing these blueprints n stuff but were not sure oope and this uh this mark keeps showing up oh look another fragment of the puzzle... oope another mark another fragment of the puzzle ect ect heres an actual puzzle for you to do and it could have been this big community wide event that could have been awsome.. but nah here ya go bro... wtf is this... eh who cares deal with it.

i like how the artian SnS shield is floating 50cm away from my arm when hitting wounds while mounted.

[HunterXCooL]

LOL yeah artian weapons are bad... its fully customizable and also the strongest weapon... every other weapon is literally not needed and because we dont have layered weapon yet so everyone gonna looks ugly and everyone gonna bring the same green ugly weapon

Never used artians at all. Most are just objectively worse than monster weapons most of the time.

[Nousos]

use whatever you want, the monsters die before you start trying.

artian weapons may be good for customization but they lack built-in skills unlike monster weapons and their max sharpness is pathetic honestly.

they re just an option. especially for high ele attack , high affinity builds.

The issue is that many weapon skills are useless.

3x3 slot deco is crazy. If you get 1 sharpness roll it's usually fine. If you want you can virtually double sharpness with 1 gem.

[Altimely]

Yea, I ignore them. Nothing in Wilds is challenging enough to make optimizing feel rewarding.

I dont think thats true. They have high raw damage when rolled correctly (sharpness/capacity, 4 attack), they dont have null or negative affinity which typically comes with weapons with that much damage, and they can be tailored to your build. Perfectly rolled Artian weapons are just about the best raw+elemental damage you can get on top of 3x3 deco slots and no wasted weapon skills.

There are a handful of weapon types that are better, I think paralysis lance? gun lance is generally considered better than its artian counterpart, and hunting horns generally don't want their songs, but even without god rolls nearly every tier 8 artian with average rolls is a competitor with the end game weapons based on how many attack rolls it gets.

You gotta look at the weapons with the weapon damage coefficient turned off for a better idea as to how good a weapon actually is at base.
