One-Handed — the balanced pick
The most versatile category for a first run. The Fanatic's Drunken Sword uses evade-and-counter moves, which teaches you the parry and dodge rhythm without committing to a slow weapon. Good default if you're still learning the combat.
Dual-Wield — the aggressive pick
Fast, multi-hit blades for players who want to stay on the attack. Seamless Death adds a ranged chakram throw on its heavy attack, which helps early when you're not confident closing distance.
Two-Handed — the deliberate pick
Slow but heavy, for players who prefer to block and punish. Juggernaut charges up while blocking then sweeps — a natural fit if you like a more methodical rhythm.
Phantom Edges — bring one for range
Primary weapons are all blades, so your two Phantom Edge slots are where ranged options live. Bring one from the Ranged category and one for burst or utility. They're limited-use but refill at checkpoints.
