favorite weapon setup?
Still going back and forth on my favorite weapon layouts and was wondering what other people were using. Greatsword/spear seems really fun but can't find a huge practical use for it. Mainly been using short sword/spear and greatsword/short sword combos. Double light sword looks like it would be fun but don't have 2 short swords decently leveled so haven't tried it out yet. Really want to get gauntlets as those would probably be a ton of fun but no dice yet.

The two basic katanas.
They're canon, fast and powerful so that's more than enough for me

As 2B
Engine Blade for the Sweet Evade Effect and Blue Damage numbers.
And the Phoenix Dagger for the slight chance for extra healing.

As 9S
Beastlord, because 9S wrecks with a Large Weapon, and the added Claw effect from Beastlord is really awesome

Comparatively, the two katanas are weaker than all other swords in terms of plain attack power. But they have the attack speed up effect. So you may go for faster swings with them. I'm currently using the light katana and the large beast themed sword, as those are the ones I have been able to upgrade the most, so they have the most attack power. But if I could upgrade the Yorha type 40 light sword, I'd set that as my Y attack, as I prefer faster combat.

Two katanas.

But I also like some other swords that allow me to do midair strike that makes it possible to jump higher than double jumping.

A2/2B Virtuous Dignity for light, and Virtuous Treaty for heavy as my mob clearing. For my Boss set, I use the Dragon Lance and Beastlord.

9S, i use the engine blade, and the Cruel Blood Oath.

Spear as first and greatsword as second. I use Virtuous Dignity and Beastlord in specific, but that's mostly because those are the weapons I have at level 4 in my current save. I'm still in route A so I'm not exactly swimming in materials. I have a second set with two light swords, but I never bother using it.
