In the game Lies of P, special weapons deviate from the unique assembly feature and adopt a more conventional approach. Unlike other weapons with detachable heads and handles, these special weapons cannot be modified and come with inherent abilities integrated into their core design concept. While they may not offer the same level of flexibility as other weapons, they undeniably possess distinctiveness and exceptional qualities.
Like every other piece in the Lies of P arsenal, the efficiency of a Special Weapon varies significantly from one to another. There is no universally applicable solution, but there are a few options that come remarkably close. For gamers seeking to add some excitement to their gameplay, here's an overview of the finest Special Weapons in the game, carefully chosen based on their moveset, Fable Arts, scaling, and overall power.
Uroboros' Eye
This mechanical saw crafted by Laxasia's Ergo specializes in delivering powerful vertical and diagonal slashes during combat. With a base Technique scaling of B, it can reach even greater heights with the assistance of a Technique Crank, elevating its efficacy to A. Although it may lack the swiftness of other Technique weapons, its extraordinary Fable Arts compensate for any perceived shortcomings.
Holy Sword of the Ark
The Uroboros' Eye possesses the ability to be revved up, akin to a chainsaw, which enhances its capacity to deliver numerous hits with each attack. Consequently, this augmentation significantly amplifies the overall damage inflicted by the weapon, rendering it highly proficient at overwhelming and cleaving through substantial and robust adversaries. Additionally, the blade of the Uroboros' Eye can be skillfully propelled to administer continuous and protracted harm from a distance.
When choosing a weapon, versatility is key. The Holy Sword of the Ark surpasses expectations by excelling in both one-on-one duels and group battles. Thanks to its remarkable Fable Art, players can extend the sword's handle, transforming it into a powerful glaive capable of sweeping attacks that cover a wide range. Furthermore, this remarkable weapon boasts lower stamina consumption for its class. By default, the Holy Sword of the Ark unleashes its fury on individual targets with a combination of precise vertical and diagonal slashes.
The Fable Art of the sword blade, named Patient Smash, displays different effects based on the length of the handle. When extended, players will dash towards the target and unleash a rapid series of strikes. Conversely, when the sword handle is retracted, players will gather momentum and deliver a powerful blow capable of inflicting tremendous damage to anything it meets.
Two Dragons Sword
This weapon is specifically crafted for players who strive to become masters of the parry system. By utilizing the Two Dragons Sword's charged heavy attack, players can effortlessly redirect incoming attacks and swiftly retaliate with a devastating counterstrike that inflicts substantial poise and health damage. Its exceptional efficiency is particularly noteworthy when facing sluggish and easily anticipated adversaries such as the Carcasses and the Nameless Puppet.
Moreover, the sword possesses the extraordinary ability to achieve an S scaling in Technique, rendering it an ideal weapon for builds that prioritize that particular stat. The sword's strikes exhibit excellent mobility in both forward and backward directions, while the blade's Fable Art serves as a lifesaving maneuver, allowing for a swift evasive maneuver followed by a fierce counterattack.
Puppet Ripper
Puppet King Romeo wields a signature weapon with a chain connecting its blade and handle, granting it an unexpectedly long range. This weapon excels at charged attacks, which can effortlessly strike multiple enemies and pass through obstacles, proving its effectiveness even in confined spaces.
Outside this range gimmick, the Puppet Ripper is no slouch either in terms of inflicting direct damage. With a considerable emphasis on Technique-based damage, it can competently engage with any adversary as long as players consider its leisurely swings. Its Fable Arts provide opportunities for delivering damage in either single-target or group scenarios, granting it a fair degree of versatility in different environments.
Proof of Humanity
The final boss wields a signature sword in the game that is highly versatile. It operates similarly to a regular longsword, but when executing heavy attacks, players unleash a dual blade assault instead of a single strike. This unique feature allows for quicker application of elemental status effects such as Overheat and Electric Blitz, making it advantageous when incorporating special Grindstones and consumable items into your strategy.
In addition, the Proof of Humanity stands out among the limited weapons in the game capable of delivering critical strikes. Each hit has the potential to deal increased damage at random, regardless of the type of attack executed. By activating the Fable Art of its handle, the likelihood of critical strikes is substantially enhanced. With a commendable B scaling in both Motivity and Technique, this sword proves to be a viable choice for almost any build.
Lies of P is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
