In Lies of P, the game offers a diverse range of weapons, each with their own distinct qualities. While some weapons are formidable right from the start, others may require adjustments to fully unleash their potential. Determining which weapons are worthwhile can be somewhat perplexing, but a little research can resolve any confusion.
The following compilation comprises the finest weapons found within the initial three chapters of Lies of P. Rather than solely prioritizing damage output or stat compatibility, these selections were chosen with consideration for each weapon's unique movesets and strengths. Give them a try and remember, the effectiveness of weapon scaling can be modified by consulting with Eugenie at Hotel Krat.
Puppet Saber
Please remember that all three starting weapons are equally viable. The saber, the rapier, and the greatsword are all good choices. However, the Puppet Saber is particularly advantageous for new players in this genre.
Firstly, the Puppet Saber boasts C scalings for both Motivity and Technique, making it ideal for players who wish to create balanced builds utilizing both stats. Secondly, the saber's handle features the Concentrate Fable Art, which temporarily enhances the weapon's damage with the expenditure of just one Fable bar.
On top of these features, the Pupper Saber also showcases exceptional versatility in terms of its moveset and damage output. It boasts a wide swinging range that allows it to strike multiple enemies simultaneously, without the risk of colliding with walls. Furthermore, it exhibits a remarkable swiftness in its attacks, surpassing the speed of most other one-handed weapons available in the game.
Electric Coil Stick
The Electric Coil Stick, a primary weapon available early on in the game, is specifically crafted to eliminate puppets and other robotic adversaries. It primarily inflicts blunt damage with a touch of electric power upon every swing. However, by utilizing the Electric Coil Stick Head's Fable Art, players can enhance the weapon's elemental damage to a remarkable extent.
Booster Glaive
Players can enhance their arsenal by combining the Electric Coil Stick Head and the Puppet Saber Handle to create a formidable weapon that offers strategic advantages. With this powerful weapon, players can exploit brief openings to unleash devastating blows on their enemies. The Wandering Merchant on Elysion Boulevard stocks this exclusive weapon for sale.
The Booster Glaive, a Technique-based heavy weapon, combines devastating one-shot power with exceptional mobility. With a rocket-powered handle, players can swiftly close gaps and eliminate weaker targets with a fully-charged heavy attack. Launch yourself towards your intended target in an instant, utilizing both precision and speed.
Salamander Dagger
The Fable Art of the Booster Glaive Blade not only grants players the ability to soar forward, enhancing their mobility, but also features a special skill in its handle that immobilizes players temporarily while charging up a devastating heavy attack capable of inflicting immense damage with a single strike. To obtain this formidable weapon, players must uncover it hidden within the chest located in the Puppet of the Future's pit within Venigni Works.The Salamander Dagger possesses a similar feature to that of the Electric Coil Stick, whereby its potency lies in its capacity to inflict elemental harm. Successful strikes from this blade will engulf adversaries in fiery wrath, inflicting continuous damage over an extended period. Notably, the Salamander Dagger exhibits incredibly high effectiveness against the formidable creatures encountered within the confines of the St. Frangelico Cathedral.
Holy Sword of the Ark
Although this weapon boasts rapid attacks, its limited range proves to be a drawback. Players have the option to enhance its reach by affixing a lengthier handle, but this modification will alter the weapon's set of movements. The Salamander Dagger can be discovered in the compact chamber above the Stargazer located within the entrance of the Venigni Workshop Union.
Upon conversing with Alidoro at the St. Frangelico Cathedral, players will gain the opportunity to acquire the Holy Sword of the Ark. This distinguished weapon can be obtained by trading the Ergo obtained from King's Flame Fuoco. It is noteworthy that this magnificent greatsword, being one of the two unique options available, can only be procured if players have refrained from consuming Fuoco's Ergo.
The Holy Sword of the Ark is a highly adaptable greatsword that can be extended to enhance its crowd control capabilities. By default, it delivers diagonal light attacks and vertical heavy attacks. However, when activated using its Fable Art handle, the sword unleashes powerful horizontal attacks that are particularly effective against groups of enemies. Additionally, the Blade Fable Art alters its original lengthy Patient Smash into a rapid flurry of strikes.
Lies of P can be played on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
