Moonlighter 2 Weapons, Armor, and Upgrades

How the weapon classes work

• Short Swords: three arcing slashes and an Attack Finisher; the Special is a spin that chains into a Special Finisher after three hits.
• Large Swords: wide slashes that spend Sharpness; the Special rebuilds it, and damage scales with the current Sharpness level.
• Spears: quick stabs that plant spearheads; the Special recalls every spearhead, hitting everything in their path.
• Gauntlets: rapid punches that fill the Berserk meter; the Special slams both gauntlets and Berserk raises damage and attack speed.
• Guns: built at Babyl’s Workshop, ammo refills on melee hits, and shots knock flying enemies out of the air.

Upgrading and best picks

Upgrades raise the number in a weapon’s effect text. Tiers cost 2,000 gold (Common), 5,000 (Uncommon), 20,000 (Rare) and 50,000 (Epic), each with a growing count of that weapon’s material; a Legendary tier exists but its full cost is not published. Early Access tier lists agree the Aetherium Heart, Ultimate Spear, Ultimate Short Sword and Blo-Beam are the strongest picks; the Version 1.0 Endless aspects have not been ranked yet.
