Choose a main weapon
The source wiki recommends investing early materials in a weapon you enjoy using instead of splitting upgrades across every new drop. It describes a focused build as more useful than upgrading every item at once.
Compare fit, not rarity alone
A weapon's value depends on how it works with your trait, skill choices, accessories and comfort in dungeon combat. A weapon you understand and have upgraded may serve you better than a rarer one that does not suit your play style. Learn its range, cooldowns and which abilities interrupt enemies.
Review the full setup
The source groups choices into best-fit, reliable, situational and starter options, but does not name a verified ranking of individual weapons. Match the weapon to the trait and skills you use, then review your accessories when you change direction.
