TOP 5 Early Game Weapons For Outward Definitive Edition (Beginners Guide)

Here are some pretty nice tips and tricks when it comes to good Outward weapons. I mention 5 in this video that should be easy to get with very little fighting. There are so many other options, but these are so powerful due to their effects and how easy they are to get early on in the game. Mertins Firepoker is strong for anyone not sure what they want to go for, and it is in the second region you can visit. Dreamers halberd takes a bit but is also a great money strat since the Friendly Immaculate always has a chest with him. Then the sword is awesome because of elemental vulnerability while the knuckles is the easiest weapon in the game to grab. Lastly, you can craft any horror weapon so easily while only fighting one or two enemies. These are all really good options to run with and I also mention quite a few tips and tricks that can help you along your journy.
Outward is an RPG/survival game that allows you take to make an almost infinite number of builds. Melee, magic, archery, and even traps are scattered across this harsh world in the form of skills. You must have a large amount of money to purchase these skills, but luckily the monsters drop extremely valuable items. The game has been harshly criticized due to how realistic and difficult it is. Feel free to subscribe and watch me beat the crap out of some crazy monsters.

[@BoringConvo]

I'm several hours into the game and struggling so I figured I'd try to get a couple of these today. I spent some time prepping and getting everything ready to get the fire poker and the chitin while I was in the area. I managed to get the items.... In the process I contracted three diseases, became defiled, and am now being stalked by an invisible foe that shoots pink stuff at me. I can hear it scratching at the walls of my tent at night, waiting. Please send help.

[@SheenShots]

Ah yes, the dreaded survival mechanics kicking in. Don't worry, my next video should help a bit lol. Alchemists sell good potions for the defiled effect.

Cool guide! I want to add (and hope future people see this), 1 Occult Remains spawn is located in the Monsoon Lotus Temple. It's easy enough to grab, with no combat needed. Just more walking, as you will need to cross the Hallowed Marsh to reach Monsoon city.

[@demonboy50]

A fix for the Occult Bones. There's a Wendigo trapped behind a gate you can cheese in Chersonese. It's the second bandit camp which is fairly easy to clear near the beached ship passed the conflux mountain. Upside is that it also gives access to 1 junk pile, 3 small chests, and an ornate chest with the chance to spawn the Black armor. =) Cheers

[@SheenShots]

Awesome! Glad I could help you out!

[@theshephard-commander7658]

Great vid, this game DOES NOT hold anyones hand- a lot of casual RPG players give up (we’ve gotten used to games like AC & Skyrim, which hold hands step-by-step on what to do next) on this gem 4-5 hours in. That, and the combat is…well, janky. Very ‘piranha bytes-ish.’ (Anyone who has played Gothic, Risen, or Elex can testify). But I absolutely love this game. It gives a sense of pure adventure I haven’t experienced since the first time I played Morrowind. There’s a feeling of accomplishment associated with succeeding at difficult games that don’t hold your hand. This is def one of those games.

[@SheenShots]

Thanks, Outward is a pretty great game. The main reason the combat feels janky is because they really went all in on the impact. Enemies feel impossible to even hit at first. Once you learn to use openers such as shield charge, push kick, and brace things start to get a lot smoother. That being said... there are still times where I go "HOW DID THAT HIT ME?" because it is a lower budget game after all. But there is a lot of fun to be had here regardless.

[@Rippietrippie]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for I haven’t played in so long I forgot how to get some good weapons early on

[@ckondoryano5173]

the fire mace is really fun to use and help me a lot in the early phase thanks

[@AcidxAnarchy]

The strange rusted sword can also be crafted into an even stronger sword, but u gotta get magic physical and alchemical parts from different npcs to craft it. Saw it on the wiki

[@adrianoprado6694]

Good tip for players: check the wiki for the sweep kick skill. It is CRAZY good, just use a cannon pistol with shatter bullet, you will get pain and confusion on the enemy, useful for almost any build. Even the normal kick is underrated, I use it to kill dogs at the start, 100% no dmg

[@SheenShots]

Kicking enemies really is underrated even though it sounds silly. Great tips and sweep kick is nuts I totally agree!

[@ImEmaRose]

Cool video man. Im pretty sure im resetting and going knuckles so im going to try to go for those Unusual ones. Cheers!

[@SheenShots]

Hope they help you out! Thanks for watching!

[@theMosen]

Kinda surprised the Phytosaur Spear didn't make the list. It's not as good as the Horror Spear, but much easier to obtain. Just farm yourself 110 silver and buy the relatively common ingredients at vendors.

[@SheenShots]

True. That is also a very nice option. Horror is just so good because you can freely kill horrors at the temple without fighting them and then the small hive guys are not too bad with fire.

[@bobfreak96]

Mushroom halberd is in the trogg cave (to the left of the red shield, also where you spawn if you get captured by the troggs in your "cage") its got poison damage and its already next to the shield if you are grabbing that to turn in as well and if not sell for cash or legacy chest

[@danceman51trendscape]

It also respawns if you let the trogs capture you.

[@MinosML]

Great guide! I think the Pillar Greathammer should've been included here as well, pretty easy to find and early game fights are honestly a breeze with so much impact lmao (I think it has the highest impact in the game, iirc) Also can be sold for a substantial amount of gold and that can help quite a bit in the early game

[@SheenShots]

Thank you! I haven't played much with great maces, but am pretty aware of how crazy this one is. i want to make a heavy tank build with it but the slow gameplay grinds my gears 😂

[@SheenShots]

I have seen some on it recently. Need to check it out as someone said it was awesome.

[@mkv2718]

soo... i’m thinking early game, since enchanting equipment can be found pretty easily, it would be best to enchant an iron weapon with Unsuspecting Strength. it makes the weapon do 150% more physical dmg and makes them indestructible. if you’re using daggers, this actually turns the Rondel into one of the highest dmg daggers in the game. ya just need a light elemental particle and two dreamer root for the incense and you’ve got some great starting gear. 👍

[@SheenShots]

That would be a pretty awesome item to start with. Get enough traps and you should be able to clear the dungeons with light arcane elementals.

[@MikeDbean420]

Wow really? You want new players to head to antique plateau and farm elemental particles for starter gear??? Garbage bro, dont say its easy when ap and caldera are one of the harder zones. Caldera is crazy but ap is no picknick. Even enchanting isnt something too just start farming Even the elementals don't always drop particles Crazy advice guy And sheem shot, you should know better

[@bcatgamering]

​@@MikeDbean420 IIRC the Chersonese Conflux Mountain Blue Chamber path has an elemental in it if you wander around the maze a little bit. Could always try there to get your particle relatively easy.

[@jirredvang901]

So can you still get the dreamer's halberd if you get different items instead? First time playing and I asked for equipment in the cave in chersonese. Example I ask for one more item the second time but not the third time would it be possible to get the halberd the 4th time I meet the immaculate?

Hey sheen! I wanted to ask: can i still get items from the friendly immaculate after getting the dreamer halberd? I am trying to make a heavy hitter build and i want the dreamer halberd but also brigands backpack. (pls answer)

[@SheenShots]

Um this is a tough on. I am remembering him disappearing after you get the halberd. But also I only ever did that quest 2 or three times total so tough to say for sure. I will say it is probably better to grab only two rewards from him and then get the halberd. That works perfectly fine and might be a safer bet.

[@loganharvey8086]

You can also get the occult remains you need from wendigos. The easiest method is 3 or 4 lanterns and lantern toss. Down side is that you would have to travel back to cherosonesse to kill the wendigo but I find them super easy to farm

[@SheenShots]

Lantern throw on that first one and you have yourself an even easier time of getting occult remains for sure.

[@loganharvey8086]

@@SheenShots another weapon to maybe mention would actually be the iron knuckles. You can get a light particle for the unsuspected strength enchant from the voltaxic hatchery and snag a couple dreamers root in enmerker forest. Makes them a decent fist weapon with no durability to worry about. Then if you want to make them endgame weapons you can do split screen shenanigans to legacy them into gold iron knuckles and keep their enchant. Basically makes them faster tsar fists

[@dawidmarciniszyn7546]

you can get a very easy kill on wendigo in bandit fort next to the ship wreck in chersonese. you can hit it with lantern toss through the door, 2 lanterns are enough in my experience to kill it and you get some nice loot :)

[@ryosama1988]

Kinda curious. I don't know what the changes are in DE (apart from graphics and FPS) so is the build videos still valid?

Most build videos will still work. only thing to check are the armor stats as some got changed a bit. Mostly buffs though.

Thank you Iam playing this on series x the game is very intriguing but dam it’s brutal.

It is very challenging and unforgiving. But the world building and environments are beyond amazing. I highly recommend you choose the dreamer halberd if you can. Makes the game a lot easier.

[@0minous187]

got this game on the winter sale, pretty unforgiving, but im having fun though 😆 I still hanging out in the starter zone, but I am gonna go for these weapons, especially the halbred and spear

[@SheenShots]

Dreamer halberd is a contested for best weapon in the game. I have beaten Outward several times and that weapon made for one of my easiest runs. Not super difficult to get either although the swamp location is a bit rough to find the first time.

[@user-ol9ck7ig2f]

@@SheenShots got everything except the unusual knuckles, and yes that dreamer halbred is so good, it was a bit of a challenge to get it though, running through the unfamiliar zones, especially that swamp!

[@dovakin3759]

Do I must make it in order or can I go to the desert and ask for nothing from the NPC ?

[@bemusedlist9242]

Ive found it more reliable to use a savage or fang weapon with elemental rags to help out on damage types

[@rolandosanchez2019]

Hi, to get the horror spear i believe is easier to get it in the first region with the horror over there, if you are skilled enough. You can run through Ghost pass, upgrade your skills with the old man, since that is something you want to do early game anyway, use a fang weapon on the meantime and grab the things that hice you ethereal damage for later on, you can do the skeleton quest too with your horror weapon and leave from the other side. To kill the horror you need patience xD, is doable though.

[@SheenShots]

This is faster yes, but for new players shell horrors pose quite the challenge. Skeleton quest is so fun!!!!

[@mystic_spider]

Alternatively, place a silly amount of spike traps on the bridge that leads to the shell horror. I remember taking 3/4 of its health like that. Then a flamethrower took care of the rest.

[@Ahglock]

I didn't know you could drop down from the platform to grab to loot in the temple, I ran through the fog and got some corruption. But I get all the enemies to chase me into the room, lock them in with the gates and then kill them with the lever, loot them all make and sell the horror spears for 750 each, use it for training. Once you clear the temple with that method there is a cool weapon available. The only hard horror is the one up the elevator in the back as you have to dodge it on the elevator a couple times on the way back down. But with the money you make you can get the true best early weapon, fully trained rune magic.

[@SheenShots]

Everyone has been mentioning how awesome rune magic is lately and it is pretty awesome 😂. Definitely one of my favorite skill trees for sure.

[@jeffr5221]

[@strellettes8511]

a year late but im wondering, for the dreamer halberd: Do I NEED to ask for 2 items from him or do I just need to not get any more than 2 items?

[@SheenShots]

So when you go to him you will need to tell him to keep his equipment. This must be done at all four locations to get the Halberd. However, you can choose an item to take from him up to two times instead if you like. Any more and he won't give you the item though.

[@The_Stickle_Cell]

You need to up your knuckle combo game. Best combo I've found is light-heavy-heavy-light-heavy. Very quick and a lot of hits

[@SheenShots]

Knuckle combos are some of the coolest to watch in the game for sure.

[@kitkami]

I thought the poisons and bleeds got nerfed into the ground. Is that spear worth it still?

[@SheenShots]

Bleed got a heavy nerf. Poison did not. Horror weapons will completely destroy the game very easily. This is largely due to the fact that so many things don't have resistance to decay. And you can craft one really quick. Only downside is their speed, but like I said in the video, the horror spear makes up for that with its reach.

[@kitkami]

@@SheenShots I have not played the game in a long long time sadly. I used to use an axe with bleed and a dagger with poison on one of my main builds. But after the nerf i just quit playing. But thinking about trying it again.

[@paull1248]

Feel like the best early game weapon I've encountered so far is the Tuonosaurus Greataxe. Get a spear or have decent dodges, go to the large tree in the centre of the hollowed marsh, kill two alpha tuonosaurus' and boom, you've got yourself a weapon with extremely good damage, one of the highest impact damage in the game AND it can inflict extreme bleeding after 3 hits which does 0.5% of an enemies HP until 50% is gone.

[@SheenShots]

I have recently picked this weapon up and can admit it is SOOOOOO good. High impact, fast attacks, and really strong bleed to back you up.

[@Tom-ahawk]

Obsidian weapons seemed easy to get for me too. Just shoot up those guys in the burning forest area. Also some of the best weapons to put in the legacy chest.

[@SheenShots]

An obsidian pistol is by far one of the best weapons to grab as it applies burning in one shot. The only bad one is the sword. Obsidian sword might as well be a dagger its so short lol.

[@kanahildjaminami2542]

I was wondering if the items from Immaculate in Caldera and Plateau also count towards the 2 items limit to get the Dreamer Halberd in DE, anyone know?

Ah. So occult remains drop from ghosts, hive, and wendigos most often. To get the bug men to spawn outside you can enter the hive and immediately exit. This will usually cause a spawn. Alternately you can head into the desert and go to that hive. The bugmen there are always gerunteed spawns.

Yo, have a dubt. I have done the dreamer halberd "quest" and in the 4th encounter the inmaculate does not give me nothing, just speak options as usual. I have done all the steps as you said but he is not giving me nothing. I have beeing playing with a friend in his world and he spoke with the inmaculate twice but seeing that the rewards were only for him as in any other quest i thought there was no trouble, but i may be wrong. Also in the steps 3 and 4 my friend was with me but no in the 2 firsts. hope anyone can solve my dubt. Nice content btw, the only one doing not obsolete content, thx 4 it.

[@SheenShots]

I am glad you enjoyed the content and thanks for watching. Here is a sort of checklist to make sure you did things correctly: 1) You need to do it in your world to get it. 2) Your buddy needs to do it in his world to get it. 3) Both of you can do it at the same time, but it will reward the main player with the halberd and that is it. Obviously you can share the weapon though which is always an option. 4) You will need to reach all four locations in your own world and make sure you pick that dialogue were you tell him to keep the stuff. If you think you did it correctly this is likely the issue as its easy to leave thinking you did it and actually didn't (did that more than once, very annoying). 5) Your friend being at some of the locations but not all should not matter as the progress in the world goes to you alone. I am not sure if I helped you, but hopefully I did. Just make sure you don't take more than 2 items and tell him to keep the stuff where you don't take anything. Any time you talk to the immaculate in your friends world it won't count in yours. Again, I hope that helps.

[@slapuallday]

In your opinion, what’s the best overall 1 handed weapon for melee?

[@SheenShots]

Axes are going to be my favorite because of their special attack. They do a lot of impact on your enemy making them die quickly and not attack you as much. Fang axes are great for early game, but the Sunfall axe is my favorite. Lots of fire damage, burning, and hits very hard. It is found in Stone Titan Caves in the Middle of the desert region. Read all the purple stone tablets and it will appear at the bottom. Kind of a hard dungeon but worth it for this axe. Skycrown mace was once a personal favorite of mine as well.

[@slapuallday]

@@SheenShots ah ok thanks for that. I have the Skycrown mace as well but I just feel like it’s not as powerful as it used to be.

[@SheenShots]

@@slapuallday The speed of it is sometimes a problem. It might seem less powerful because some enemies are a bit harder to stagger now. Since maces are slower you may not be able to stagger as fast as their stability bar can regen. Axes do not have this problem as they are really fast lol.

[@slapuallday]

@@SheenShots I will definitely look into an axe. That sunfall axe I’ll try and get.

Kinda thought Gep's blade would be on here or at least get an honorable mention since you just have to find the sword, then maybe 1 or 2 of the potions since death is pretty common early game and the gep "death" scenario seems pretty common too (obv dying isn't ideal but is likely)

[@SheenShots]

I love that as a starting weapon, but I wanted to make it purely for a beginners guide. Newer players just don't know the terrain well enough to find this easily I think and if it happens to spawn across the bridge it could frustrate them quite a bit. I also did not want to force a new player to watch a video or read the wiki for the spawn locations. But definitely one of the best for those who know how to get it.

yeah, crafting and selling horror weapons gives you pretty good money. also selling unique weapons like mertins firepoker or the Thrice-Wrought Halberd (behind the fog wall in the cabal wind temple, if you killed enough shell horrors) is a good mine for quick silver. from then on you should be good to get the skills you need to fight enemys with loot that sells good enough to dont have any problems with money anymore.

Gep's sword was at the vigil pylon for me. Score.

[@SheenShots]

Nice! That's probably the best location to find it.

[@Scalpaxos]

I would add Gep's Blade, it's technically an end game weapon but you can grab it at the very beginning with 0 combat, there's no way a new player could get it without a guide so it's kinda cheating but it breaks the game when you get it early.

[@SheenShots]

Yes gabbing Gep's blade early on is a huge spike in power. I did not include it for the very reason that is quite challenging to grab as a new player. But it you know about it, by all means get it. The game gets a lot easier with that power blade by your side.

Distorted is extremely good. Unfortunately is can only be used by a mage type character so I left it out. Quite a few of the Caldera weapons are really good for starting out actually which is kinda nice. I also felt like the whole portal thing was a bit tedious for newer players.

how did they buff shell horrors? they were already extremly dangerous.

[@Matthias129]

A lot of the bigger/tougher looking enemies got more Protection, the stat that negates physical damage. In Definitive Edition, Protection now also increases your Impact Resistance, so in standard you could take a two handed weapon and stun lock the rock mantises and shell horrors by just wailing on them. Now, not so much. Learned that one the hard way.

[@MultiNerevar]

they are a joke compared to scarlets or ancient dwellers. the dlcs added alot more dangerous enemies. and some of them got added as unique enemies to basegame maps like gargyoles. trigger to stagger that thing :P they are hard to stagger even with endgame gear.

Basically, they got more protection and are much harder to knockback.

If you are a beginner, I know a method that requires 0 fightning for horror weapons. For the materials, get predator bones in berg's blacksmith, he usually have some. You can farm money as a beginner by getting blue sand and selling in cierzo, and skipping 7-8 days with the plant tent or normal tent for respawn. Or kill some dogs in cierzo. Lure them to the black pearlbird and he will kill for you (kinda advanced method). For the horror chithin, do the same as the video, but kill only 1 shell horror with the lever, take the loot and run to leave. For occult remains, berg's alchemist sometimes has one for 60 gold, you can skip days sleeping in the plant tent. Cabal temple sometimes has 1-2 as loot too. There's a free occult remain in the monsoon city, in the ellat temple, just enter to the left, and after walking a bit it will be on a table in your left. If you really want 0 gold investment and 0 combat. My method: I start the game, quickly loot cierzo, buy the fitness point, get the passive skill from burac and leave to the beach through the tunnel for blue sand. I don't skip days for more, and I rush to berg for the prospector backpack (you can get zhoyrn hunting backpack in hardcore start too, if you are crazy good). then leave to cabal of the wind temple to farm gold with the 4 horror weapons sale, get 4 palladium veins in enmekar and kill some small hive guys. Repeat 3 times and buy all skills needed. At like day 7, I get money, a powerful weapon (prefer the horror greataxe or 1h axe), and a solid hardcore start.

[@SheenShots]

Great explanation!

[@gottabetk2826]

Bruh what's the point in being able to place markers on the map if you can't see them on the compass?

[@SheenShots]

The map does not show your locations so you use the traditional style of travel and use landmarks to find you way. The markers are there so you can put them on iron nodes, and other resources so you get a chance to loot them again when you come back to that region. Its not really a massive help, but it can be useful when you need one thing and luckily color coded your map with the various markers. Just a QOL aspect really.

[@luciferous277]

At this point ethereal is the best element, so I completely agree with the dreamer halberd. PS: Name change from Reeptide.

[@MultiNerevar]

incorrect. while etherial is a good element overall it has a downside : you cannot buff its dmg as high as some other elements. this offsets it dmg wise. its not better or worse than others therefore. the halberd is trash compared to geps blade. which you can get for free at the same time.

[@luciferous277]

Fair.. but with manawall armor and the scarlet mask, one can easily push it over 100%, while taking advantage of an enemy’s weakness is preferable, ethereal is convenient. Also with how many enemies are immune to fire and physical, the highest buffing elements, and how many have 0 or negative resistance to ethereal… but I rethink, it is not the best, only MoT(moment of truth) type damage is!

[@MultiNerevar]

@@luciferous277 what you mean with moment of meta is called RAW dmg. but sadly you cannot buff raw dmg directly and no weapon has pure raw or natural raw dmg either. and every few skills can inflict raw dmg to begin with. and most are either lategame skills or require breaktroughs. you can in fact buff elemental dmg to over 200% even. sadly not etherial. it lacks some of the % bonuses other elements can use. plus its tent buff has a huge drawback aswell as you lose phys resistence which is hard to make up for unlike elemental one which a simple boon can negate already. phys immune enemies actually dont exist. just very resistent ones. but any phys build gets perfect meta strike skill anyway which ignores all defense as its pure raw dmg. etherial is a good element tough. which is why geps blade is so busted especially early game.

[@luciferous277]

@@MultiNerevar Actually, Moment of Meta deals physical, and a lot, and ignores half the enemy’s resistances, so it’s not raw, and with how high physical gets, it is insane. But I am jesting, all elements are good, it just depends upon the situation.

Im not sure why you did not say that the rusted sword can be upgraded when you said the knuckles can. Also I think 1 maybe 2 weapons should be added to the list because they are not hard to get. Thrice-Wrought Halberd can get it with no fighting and Sunfall axe can be gotten without fighting anything as well.

[@SheenShots]

I didn't mention the sword because I made a video on that and not knuckles at the time. Probably should have mentioned that though. Thrice-Wrought will be in my money guide lol so that was not included. As far as Sunfall... I find that to be nearly impossible without fighting anything. Especially with the new boss and corruption they added to the cave. Even if it is possible I wouldn't find in beginner friendly. Mostly because there are a lot of enemies that chase you down and you need to read each rune. New players would get too lost to pull it off I think.

this video has some odd advice in it that can even cost people useful items early on. it mentions DREAMERS halberd as an early game weapon. yet you need to travel around entire map to get it. and it doesnt mention that immaculate boi will DISAPPEAR from dlc regions once you get this. this prevents getting the brigands bag or barrier armor for free from caldera. the former can otherwise ONLY be aquired super lategame and only if you build a certain special building on top. if you go for dreamers visit him in caldera first and if you go to caldera there is a way better weapon that outperforms dreamers in every way (same dmg but faster and aoe dmg on top AND ignores block) it mentions non awakened knuckels from caldera but not the actual GOOD stuff you could grab instead over there which also requires no combat. strange rusted sword is not an actual weapon you would use in combat even for the debuff. shouldnt even be on this list. the poker is okisch but eh. weak compared to what he didnt mention AT ALL. horror spear. requires alot more effort to make than other options and deals worse dmg. and yet he didnt mention the best early game weapon BY FAR which you can access without combat and without locking yourself out of anything. instead of anything in the video simply do this (sounds complex but really isnt believe me) its called a "gep run": walk over to caldera (just bring a bit of heat resist gear and a few cool potions or weather resist potions easy to come by early on and also bring a plant tent or 2) from the forest and go east from where you enter. go to immaculate cave. ask him for storage. bam brigands bag. 70 carry. no dodge penalty. buffs phys dmg by 15%. leave his cave. go south and towards the pylon. avoid the enemys. simply run away if anything engages you. once at the pylon use this map outward.fandom.com/wiki/Outward_Wiki?file=GepsLongBladeLocations.png to check 4 of the 5 locations for the "mysterious longblade" itll just be standing there next to a bedroll on the floor. its random at which of the 5 spots it appears. it changes location every few days. the 5th spot all the way down southwest cannot be reached earlygame. ignore it. if the sword isnt in any of the other 4 spots walk over to the nearest safe resting spot or to the primal ritualists hut. put down your plant tent and wait 7 days. the sword will now be at another spot and high chance you can reach it now. just check all 4 again till you find it. one of the spots also has a geps drink. pick it up. another geps drink is found near the drawbridge south. pick it up. another one is found outside the oil riffernry. pick it up. none of them are guarded. now you have 3 geps drinks. and the sword. go to crafting : put the mysterious longblade into the manual recipe. NOW DECIDE : do you want 1hand or 2hand version. 1hand is superior now as it was buffed. 2hand is barely stronger. only 3 points more each. but this is your choice. you cannot undo the choice once the drinks are applied until endgame is reached so choose wisely. if you want the 1hand version simply craft the longblade only by ITSELF. add nothing else. now its 1hand. now simply drag the sword of your choice and the 3 geps drinks into the manual recipe. make it. bam. geps blade (or longblade) this weapon destroys anything in earlygame. walk back home to cierzo. this weapon does 22 dmg (1hand and 25 2hand) but it has a special effect. not only is this thing insanely fast 1.2 speed on both. each hit causes an aoe ether blast to occur. this blast hits all enemies within its range AND its 22 pure ether dmg aswell ON TOP of the 22 phys dmg. a hidden trait of this blast is insanely useful earlygame especially for bandits : it FULLY IGNORES BLOCK. it hits enemies trough thier guard. this weapon is better than anything in the video. atleast earlygame.
