InWuchang: Fallen Feathers, most fights can feel like a test of timing, precision, and the weapon in your hands. So don’t merely focus on damage when picking the right blade, spear, or axe. Some weapons push you to be aggressive, landing hit after hit before the enemy can recover, while others reward patience, waiting for the perfect moment to land a devastating blow. Choosing the right one can turn a difficult fight into something far more manageable.
There are five weapon types in this game, and we’ll throw in something from each type. But then dual blades and axes are the best types of weapons, so it’s understandable that they make up half of this list.
10Watcher’s Gaze
Allows for Quick Swings and Long Reach
Even though Watcher’s Gaze is a one-handed sword, it’s not about overwhelming speed or sheer power. Its reach gives you a strong advantage in controlling space, and its attacks have a clean, deliberate weight to them.
The weapon is perfect for players who prefer reading their opponent’s move before striking. You can hang back and wait for the enemy to overcommit then land a strike that feels like it was meant for that exact moment. It gives you the kind of satisfaction that comes from knowing you controlled the fight and dictated the flow.
9Lashing Whip
Both a Whip and a Sword
Lashing Whip gives it a completely different vibe to swords or axes. You’re not limited to straight swings; you can attack from odd angles, hitting enemies who thought they were safe behind a block or just out of reach.
The whip excels at keeping multiple enemies in check. Its wide, sweeping strikes can clip opponents from a distance and its speed means you can keep constant pressure on a group without standing still. The weapon is especially fun in fights with strong enemies. Its range lets you hit them even when they’re trying to change position.
8Cloudpiercer
Rewards Your Accuracy with Solid Damage
Cloudpiercer is about striking clean and sharp, almost like you’re cutting through the air itself. The weapon design makes it great for chasing down evasive enemies. If an opponent tries to backpedal or dart around you, Cloudpiercer’s quick reach lets you tag them before they can get away.
Its speed also means you’re able to land multiple hits in short windows, chipping away at health bars before the enemy can respond. Cloudpiercer is a weapon that rewards speed, positioning and pinpoint accuracy over raw strength.
7Bitter Severance
Scissor-Like Blades for Quick, Combo-Heavy Combat
Bitter Severance is like a pair of scissors, but don’t underestimate how powerful it is. These blades lean into speed. They’re sharp, light and built for quick assaults. In battle, they allow you to dart forward, slash and then dash away, or press onward and continue the assault.
With high agility scaling, Bitter Severance blades are perfect for agile fighters who prefer quick actions over slow, heavy blows. To claim them you must find your way deep inside the Shaft, past areas like the Bride’s Boudoir. Eventually you’llconfront Fang Ling, the “Perfect Bride.” Defeating her will reward you with these hauntingly beautiful blades.
6Li Jiao’s Fang
Rewards Constant Movement and Quick Reactions
Li Jiao’s Fang is all about staying in your enemy’s face. It’s fast, precise and perfect for players who like to keep the pressure high from start to finish. Its speed lets you dart in and out of range before enemies can hit back. you’re able to pepper them with rapid strikes, forcing them to defend and giving them little room to breathe.
Against slower enemies, you can completely control the tempo of the fight, landing multiple hits before they even begin their counter. The weapon also works well for interrupting attacks. Its quick swings can break the flow of an enemy’s combo, creating small openings that you can turn into bigger advantages.
5Steampowered Spear
Longest Spear
At first glance, it looks like a regular spear. It looks long, sharp and built for thrusts, but the steam-powered mechanism changes how it plays. You can lunge faster and hit harder than you expect from a weapon of its size. This means you can poke enemies safely from a distance and then run forward to land a heavy strike before they react.
Thelong spearworks pretty well against more agile enemies because you may keep them away without needing to chase them too much. Against bigger foes, you can keep circling and stabbing, chipping away at their health without staying in danger for long.
4Eternal Sovereignty
Doesn’t Sacrifice Power for Speed
Eternal Sovereignty delivers in every way, whether it’s in terms of sharpness, strength or piercing power. It slices, it smacks, it thrusts, all with balanced impact. Eternal Sovereignty’s base numbers are chunky across the board, with Slash 80, Blunt 70, and Stab 70. So, even sloppy hits land with weight, which is a bit unusual for dual blades as they usually trade base power for speed.
Because the base stats are so high, this weapon is forgiving when you’re still learning enemy patterns, as you’re able to hit less often and still keep pace. If you want to meet pressure with pressure and still come out ahead, Eternal Sovereignty is your best bet.
3Empyrean Greataxe
Deals Massive Damage, but Quite Heavy
The Empyrean Greataxe is a monster of a weapon. Everything about it is big, from the weight, to the arc of its swings and the damage it dishes out. When you land a clean hit, you feel the impact in the way enemies stagger or get smashed aside.
I think this is a weapon for players who enjoy high stakes. Each swing takes commitment, and you can’t just flail your way to victory. You have to predict enemy movement, and start your attack early so it connects at the right moment. It shines atdealing with large enemies and bosses. The sheer force behind each blow can knock them off balance and create opportunities for followups.
2Serpent Fang
Fast, Aggressive and Powerful Sword
The strength of Serpent Fang lies in its ability to chain attacks and stay in the opponent’s face. You’re not just hitting once and backing off; you’re wrapping around them keeping them tangled in your offense. If they block, or dodge, you’re already in position to hit again from another angle.
This makes Serpent Fang one of thebest longswordsagainst enemies who rely on reaction time. The more they try to counter the more openings they give you. And because the weapon recovers quickly after each strike, you can stay aggressive without leaving yourself open for long. Serpent Fang is for players who like momentum. Once you get going, you don’t stop until your target is down. It’s fast, unpredictable and thrives on keeping pressure high until the fight is over.
1Twin Bandits
Dual Blades That Heal You as You Fight
Twin Bandits are dual swords shaped like scimitars. They move so fast, it’s almost like a blur. When you strike while moving back, you block incoming attacks. If you can manage to do this at just the right time, you won’t only block; you deflect the strike. And after successful deflection, your next swings become faster and more relentless.
What I love most about the Twin Bandits is that every hit you land after deflection heals you. This powerful sequence turns defense into offense, and offense into healing. To find the dual blades, you’ll have to go to the Cloudspire Outskirts and nearby realms full of shrines, hidden paths, and enemies.
