Are the New Title Update Weapons any good

Or are they just pretty?

They're interesting, they fit some really neat niches that I think are nice, although, I think we all still need to do a bit more testing first

The Mizutsune weapons seem like a straight upgrade from standard water weapons, which seems a bit weird to me?
I don't... really know what the point of the Zoh Shia Weapons are.

The Mizu weapons have a neat mechanic, but they're just pretty unless they upgrade whatever water weapon you have. If the bubbles from the mizu set could happen with just 2 pieces instead of 4, it would have some potential in certain fights.

Zho shia on the other hand has pretty sweet gear. You can mix it in with most meta sets and get some close bonuses while also getting passive health regen at 2 pieces.

The weapons are where Zho shines, they are only a dps loss on monsters that have HUGE elemental weaknesses like Zho himself and they even keep up with my god tier Artian weapons. Plus they look cool as hell.

I'd say mizu is more for fun or if you want the armor for looks, but Zho shia definitely has some potential in both utility and looks.

In case the whiteflame passive confuses you, the bonues "fire" works like blast, a flat 50 to any spot hit and seems to have similar requirements to flayer for you to get the fire to proc.

This guy's video covers it in great detail.

So if you fight a lot of varied elemental monsters, or you are spamming Arkveld, consider a Zho shia weapon.

Ahhh so both are sorta niche choices, but where their niche is they're p strong, gotcha

Personally I'm a HH/Bow player so I wasn't sure if it was going to be a sidegrade or a straight up upgrade, but I'll keep that in mind!

The Zoh Shia hunting horn is probably one of the best in this game. Health regen on top of damage S and defense L is pretty sweet. It also has offset melody, making it pretty good offensively.
