The benefits of the Razor Wind over other weapons are its increased Crit chance and its highly mobile playstyle.

Notes

An Ember Knight can only use one Weapon at a time, and every weapon's Base Stats and Bonuses are decided by the specific Weapon Modifications. The Stats listed above are the stats of each Weapon as they are when first unlocked by the player.

The Base Damage value of a weapon does not directly translate into the actual damage that the weapon will deal with every hit, since each Chain Attack behaves differently and has differences associated with it.

Trivia/Tips

• The Rift Hammer has the highest Base HP in the game at 60. This, combined with the Hammer's ability to make Applesauce which increases maximum health, makes it the obvious weapon of choice for those who like to have as much health as possible.
• Razor Wind has more than double the Crit of most other weapons, giving it a distinct advantage with Claw Relics.
• The Guardian Bow is by far the best weapon at rapidly striking enemies, allowing it to take great advantage of Relics like Toxic Bangle.
• The Nexal Staff is the clear choice to players who enjoy casting, as it's Weapon Modifications and rapid Chain Attack lend well to heavy Skill use and making those Skills as powerful as possible.
• The Reaper's Toll specializes in high damage, being capable of outpacing all other weapons on single targets due to it's massive chain attacks and the debuff applied by the Slash projectile. Make the most of it by increasing your base damage using Relics such as Titan's Wargear along with its ability to make apple slices which increase the players damage.
• After using the Reaper's Toll's Slash attack, the player is given a 25% speed boost for 5 seconds. This is not listed anywhere in game and does not require Weapon Modifications to activate. This bonus and it's duration is completely unaffected by the number of Slash charges used.
