5Empyrean Greataxe
Become Unstoppable Early On
Kicking things off is the Empyrean Axe, which is by and large the best Axe in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. And, the great news is that you can obtain this fantastic weapon extremely early, as it is in the Shu Sanctum region of the game’s first chapter.
What makes this Axe so excellent is its ability to scale with the rest of your build,allowing you to become an unstoppable force of nature with the proper setup.If you want to be ultra tanky while also dishing out obscene amounts of damage, this is the weapon for you!
4Lashing Whip
Whipping Up A Can Of Chaos
Another weapon you can snag early on that will last you all the way until you roll credits is the Lashing Whip, which is one of, if not the best, Longswords in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. You can obtain this beauty when you arrive in the Mercury Workshop section after slaying theFeathered Priest - Lu Bingzhang boss.
Since the Longsword benefits tremendously from counterplay and strong, focused builds, the Lashing Whip willscale well with pretty much any Strength and Agility buildyou toss its way, which is why it is a must-get as soon as possible if you plan on using the Longsword as your primary weapon class in the game!
3Steampowered Spear
Longevity Is The Name Of The Game
What’s that? Another early-game banger of a weapon? Yup. The Steampowered Spear is by far the best Spear in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and it’s not even close. And, the kicker is that you can obtain it forjust one Bamboo Shootfrom the Panda in Lightzen Temple in the first chapter.
When paired with the proper Discipline and overall build,there will be no end to the reign of dominance the Steampowered Spear possesses. It’s swift, far-reaching, and deals tremendous amounts of damage, making it easily shoot to the top of the list in its class!
2Firearm Blades
A Gunblade? Where Have We Seen This Before?
You may be noticing a trend here, and that’s actually a good thing, as you can get some of the best weapons in the game before leaving the game’s first chapter, which brings us to the Firearm Blades, which are arguably the best Dual Blades in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
These devastating blades are also found in the Shu Sanctum area,but are a bit harder to come by. Nonetheless, they are worth seeking out,as they work well with pretty much any Clash-focused builds,which is where this weapon type excels the most. If Dual Blades are your playstyle, then grab these as soon as possible!
1Astral Blade
UNLIMITED POWER
Lastly, we have the Astral Blade, which is the best One-Handed Sword by a mile, allowing you to become adeadly sorcerer who relies heavily on Magic to nuke your targets from orbit.And, of course, you can also get this weapon pretty early on in your playthrough, but this one does require a bit of a challenge to overcome first.
Taking down theBlightweaver - Great Centipede bossdeep within the Bandit Cave is how you will get your hands on this excellent weapon. The good news is that you have to defeat this boss to advance the story. The bad news is that it is pretty much your first skill check, so you’re going to have to work for it. Still, if you love casting potent Spells, then this is a must-have!
