Which Starter Weapon Should You Choose In Moonlighter 2

"Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault asks you to choose from four weapon options at the start of a new game. These are just the base versions of the four weapon types, but you'll be using whichever weapon you pick for several runs before you can unlock another one, making this choice one you'll want to think about. In this guide, we'll break down which weapon is best in Moonlighter 2, so you aren't stuck with the wrong one for a good while."

"Merchant's Large Sword The Large Sword has a slow attack pattern, but it also has the strongest attacks. The primary attack has a three-hit pattern and uses sharpness on every attack. Your special is a quick jab attack that is much weaker but restores sharpness. The Sharpness meter is broken up by chunks, and for each missing chunk, you deal less damage."

Players start by selecting one base weapon: Sword, Large Sword, Spear, or Gauntlets. The Sword provides a balanced four-hit primary with a spinning special that can become a stronger finisher after three attacks. The Large Sword hits hardest with a slow three-hit primary and a sharpness meter that reduces damage when chunks are missing; its special is a quick jab that restores sharpness. The Spear offers long reach and spawns Spearheads that can be recalled to damage enemies. The Gauntlets deliver the fastest attacks, build special meter quickly, and grant a heavy special plus a Berserk state when full. Weapon choice matters across several runs before new weapons unlock.
