What are the best weapons?

[DNAKERD]

Hi guys, is anyone still alive in these lands? I'd like to know what the best weapon is for each character, including the DLC area weapons, since I'm currently in New Game Plus, But I still don't know which one is the best.

I'd argue there is no "best weapon", as each one has its own situational use, where anything which MAY be considered "the best overall" would be completely useless.

Personally, I'm partial to...
the Rune Blade, for the MP recovery for Matt
the Dreamcatcher for Natalie, for sealing enemies, as well as the 100% resistance to Syphon, Dispel, and Curse.
the.... umm..... Anything which Lance survive against whatever is up ahead? (Lance was mostly benched for me. lol.)
the Alchemist Bow for Anna, for the great amount of chaos it can inflict on the enemy lines with Arrow Rain.

Even with this loadout, I still switched equipment (not just weapons) all the time, depending on what I was up against.
In the end, it's all up to personal preference for any given player. ;)

Thanks man, it's useful to know, and I'm really glad there are still active people around here besides the Discord, that I forgot to use (a bit silly on my part, btw), but I'm still very grad and happy for your help. UwU
