Best weapon type?

[Linnie <3]

What is the best weapon types/classes for an endgame build now in 1.21?

[Just Aaron]

Anything you like. Their is no "Best Weapon." Some swear by the sword. Others like the kusarigama. I live by the axe. It just depends on how you like to play the game. If you`re at the endgame/abyss you should already have a preference.

if i remember correctly, dragon sword build is pretty strong, but it is glascannon

Whatever works for you. Every weapon has it's use. Dual swords are good for dodging and status effects build up, spear is the jack of all trades though rather complex in use, kusarigama can offer both control and range but is strict with positioning and timing for it's skills, etc...
But katana is the most versatile and easy to master weapon, though not really imaginative in terms of skills. Good choice for novices and experienced players as a backup weapon.

Every weapon is perfectly usable all the way through the deep endgame. Sword is the easiest to master, Kusarigama has the best dps, Spear is my personal favorite, though it took me ages to master it...

Really, the hardest ones to master are probably Tonfa and Axe. Tonfa, because it's frenetic mix of attacking and dodging is more aggressive by far than the others, and Axe because it requires absolute mastery of timing and positioning that takes a good while to build up in this game.

Odachi was by far my favorite. fun moveset, mix of heavy hitting moves and nimble flashy stuff. Not sure about other weapons since its the only one i used for more than a few minutes, but being able to change stance mid combos with it was very fun too
