best weapons with lunastra materials?

[El Birri]

after killing lunastra 20 times i finally got the gem, but i hesitating about what weapon create.

all except LS (i have divini slasher and deviljho) and GS (impact).

i looking to create HBG but idk if lunastra xeno is good especially with sticky build.

Longsword, glaive + ruin, LBG + blaze, sword and shield, Lance, hammer, almost all of lunastra's weapons are good except the gunlance

The only good Luna HBG is Styx has lesser pierce than the KT Support and "nothing to write home about" Clusters. I have been told that some people prefer the Styx HBG for a tank HBG build against Behemoth, using slicing on his head as best method in game to draw aggro.

Almost every "Styx" weapon are good or at least decent. Not so sure about the other types.

don't make it unless, you want to tank behemoth with it;s slicing to draw aggro for a built team

You can downgrade from the lunastar weapons and upgrade again if you change you mind later, I think. I can with SnS anyway.

You can not down grade weapons after they have been fully upgraded

[Stationary Traveller]

XenoLuna HBG is a good jack of all trades and a pretty good elemental HBG, but not really a top tier weapon. The LBG on the other hand is definitely worth it.
Also anything that consumes sharpness fast benefits a lot from the Xeno bonus - IG, SA, SnS, DB, hammer, lance and GL (if played as pure melee).

You get the gem back. You get all materials back. You only lose money and you cannot roll it back if it is augmented.
I have done this myself.

Edit: Oh no, wait, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were thinking of upgrades, not the weapon types in general.

You're right for normal weapons, but wrong about Lunastra.

Luna bows are trash. Probably the worst weapon type you could make for it.
