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 Sword
The sword is considered a balanced weapon, offering a four-hit attack-pattern for its primary attack, with the final hit functioning as a finisher. The special move is a spinning attack, dealing damage in a circle around Will. If you use your special after three attacks, it transforms into a more powerful finisher.
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.
