What is y'all's favorite weapon class?

[Dab_Into_Tpose]

swords, axes, daggers, bows, magic, or thrown items?

Sword for me - nice all-rounder. It's my go-to if I don't have a pressing need for any other weapon (like when I had to break out the Crystal Longbow for the Erupting Flesh Cluster).

I can certainly see the appeal of the other groups though.

Two hand weapons and magic...damn tried to make 2 others walktroughts and always finished with arcane build and jumping special attack with 2h weapons hahah

I went swords but regretted it. By the end of the game, I had found a grand total of 4 swords. I did almost 80% of the game with a Percival +7. Meanwhile daggers? All the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. Quest reward? dagger. Secret path? dagger. Boss drop? dagger.
I liked sword gameplay, but this honestly made me a little mad.

Every time I play, I end up gravitating towards a back-and-forth swap between Swords and Arcane. With a sword, the heavy combos are generally safe, high-damage, cover a lot of ground, and easy to pull off, a Scorching enchantment on a sword is about the only halfway-decent DoT effect available on a weapon, and the Amaterasu has a very useful special attack on top of being one of the higher-damage weapons in the game. And when I want a break, several of the Arcane spells make for safe, mindless wins against most of the game's targets.

Axes are generally fine. Daggers play much like swords but with a more awkward effective range. Thrown-items 'can' be stupidly powerful but require a specific armor set (which I don't much like the look of) to get there along with a bit of farming for the best throw-ables which is more of a hassle than I generally care for, and bows aren't much worth looking at until the game is effectively over.

I haven't found a use for daggers besides them letting you dodge when standing still.

Sword - for close combat
Bow - for ranged combat
Axe - dropping down from enormous heights
