Each weapon is optimized for a particular build and supports varying combat styles.
Additionally, each weapon has varying strengths and weaknesses that make them suitable or unsuitable in different situations.
Using the right weapon in the right situation is crucial to emerging victorious inRise of the Ronin.
Here is an overview of the ten best weapons in the game.
Rifle
The Rifle is an efficient and reliable sub-weapon for two reasons.
Second, it deals considerable damage and can take out most weapons with a single headshot.
Its only shortcoming is that it is loud, easily giving your position away when snipping.
Oxtail Blade
The Oxtail Blade is ideal for facilitating Dexterity and Charm because of its diverse combat styles.
Notably, this weapon mostly relies on combo attacks for optimal damage, hence the many mid-air combat options.
Bayonet
The Bayonet essentially is a rifle with a blade fixed to the muscle.
On the one hand, you might use the rifle to fire at enemies from long ranges.
However, its functionality is somewhat limited, as it only supports three combat styles.
Ultimately, using the Bayonet properly takes some practice.
This weapon supports four combat styles.
Additionally, Martial Skills enable you to lunge great distances and charge up combo attacks for optimal damage output.
Saber
The Saber is a Western weapon with a curved blade.
Associated with the Intelligence build, using this weapon requires a smart and strategic approach combining offense and defense.
Fortunately, the weapon unlocks two simple combat styles that help with rapid movements and defensive skills.
However, the Saber isnt ideal for sweeping attacks, limiting its use to 1v1 combat.
As such, you should pair it with a larger or longer weapon for fighting multiple enemies.
Interestingly, it’s possible for you to even instantly transform its normal attacks into charged attacks.
However, it is slow and cumbersome, making it tricky to land a well-placed attack.
To this end, you may need to absorb some damage before unleashing a powerful counter-attack.
However, aerial attacks can help with the element of surprise.
Unfortunately, the Greatsword is unreliable against fast opponents.
As such, it is prudent to pair it with other faster and more flexible weapons.
Odachi
Like the Greatsword, the Odachi is also a large and heavy weapon capable of inflicting significant damage.
It is specialized for downward vertical slashes when engaging in 1v1 combat.
However, the weapon mostly relies on overwhelming offense, which can leave you open and vulnerable to attacks.
Paired Swords
Paired Swords are the ideal weapons for players focused on Dexterity.
Their flexibility enables you to make quick, consecutive attacks, boosting your damage output.
Moreover, they support blade flashes to restore your ki and sustain prolonged attacks.
These weapons support four combat styles, including a flexible range of martial arts.
you might do virtually everything, from breaking your enemies guards to evading attacks.
Interestingly, you’re able to also shoot out force waves.
However, the swords arent reliable against crowds.
Spear
The Spear mainly relies on the Intelligence build, necessitating a smart approach to your attacks.
This weapon has a good range for melee attacks, which mostly involve thrusting attacks.
However, you might also unleash spinning attacks to repel multiple enemies.
However, it only supports two combat styles that help you evade attacks and launch attacks over longer distances.
While it is optimized for the Strength build, it can fit any other build with a few tweaks.
Moreover, it doesnt consume too much ki when engaging in combo attacks.
