Here are some tips for getting the best weapons for your CryptoBlades team.

How to choose the best weapon in CryptoBlades

As with most RPG fighting games, there isn't one better weapon to rule them all.

However, here are some tips for choosing the best weapons for your team in CryptoBlades.

1. The weapon element must be the same as your character.

In CryptoBlades there are four elements and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Characters, weapons, and weapon attributes can have any of these four elements.

If you equip a weapon that has the same element as the character using it, you will gain 7,5% bonus power.

This is why a good strategy is to have only one item for all 4 characters on your team and invest in a mighty sword of the same item as your team.

2. Weapon stats should be as optimized as possible

Weapon stats attribute points are one of the biggest contributors to a weapon's overall potency and value.

This is the second most important thing to look out for when choosing weapons.

The higher a weapon's attribute point total, the more payouts you get on average.

Note that having more stats doesn't affect your chances in combat, but it does increase your gains.

This is because if you use weapons with higher stats, the game will also give you more powerful enemies, which will give you more rewards.

A common beginner mistake is to prioritize expensive weapons with pure elements and higher rarity, when in fact you can get more value from your investment even with a low star weapon as long as it has decent statistics.

This is especially useful if you are a new player who has only invested a small amount in the game and want to get the most out of your money.

So how do you know if a weapon has good stats?

Simple: Each weapon rarity has a minimum and maximum amount of stat points.

1 star - 4-200 points
2 stars - 180-300 points
3 stars - 280-400 points
4 stars - 2x attributes at 200-400 pts
5 stars - 3x attributes at 268-400 pts

This means that you should go for weapons with stat points closer to its cap value.

For example, a 1 star weapon with stats close to 200 points will give you more bang for your buck compared to a 2 star weapon with close to 180 stat points.

4 Star and 5 Star weapons, on the other hand, will have 2 and 3 stat attributes respectively. Likewise, aim for stats above the average amount. For example, a 4 star weapon with both stats above ~ 350.

3. Weapon attribute elements must align with the weapon element

Another property that makes your weapon more powerful is element alignment. This is when all stat attributes have the same element as the weapon element.

Unlike the number of points in your weapon's stat attributes, item alignment increases your battle win rate.

In addition to the 7,5% potency bonus if your character and weapon elements are aligned, you also get 7,5% damage bonus if the enemy is weak against the character element.

This will give you a total of 15% bonus damage modifier.

4. Reforge your weapons using weaker burn weapons

Another way to increase the overall power of a weapon is to reforge it in the Blacksmith.

Reforging is the process of upgrading a weapon by using another weapon as forage (also known as a scorch weapon) and consuming a small amount of SKILL.

When you reforge a weapon, it will receive an additional power bonus depending on the rarity of the burning weapon used.
