QUICK ANSWER · WEAPONS

Choose a weapon style you can use consistently, then pursue a proven quest reward. The Imbued Sword of St. Mihai is a strong late-game sword target, while early-game weapon decisions should prioritise survivability and upgrade availability.

Weapon list: what can be confirmed

Early weaponsUse obtainable gear and upgrades rather than delaying progress for unverified loot tables.

Unique and legendary rewardsPrefer named quest routes with clear prerequisites and a recorded reward.

Weapon switchingKeep controls and platforms separate; a controller issue is not a weapon-system issue.

UpgradesCompare weapons at equivalent upgrade levels before calling one objectively better.

Best weapons versus best sword

The best sword guide answers the focused question of how to obtain St. Mihai's sword. This page covers broader all-weapons, early-weapons, legendary-weapons and upgrade searches, then sends players to a dedicated route when the evidence is specific enough.

Avoid incomplete weapon lists

A complete list needs each weapon's type, acquisition method, upgrade state and current patch verification. This hub deliberately labels unverified categories instead of inventing a full catalogue from screenshots or old videos.
