Best Weapons To Pick

Among the 5 options available in the New Horizon 6-star Weapon Crate, there are clear weapons that can be used by multiple different characters and weapons that are too specific to be valuable overall.

Taking into account the stats and effects of these weapons, the best options players should pick are:

– Best Picks: Oblivion and Thermite Cutter. Oblivion is an amazing weapon that can massively boost the Arts damage output and can be used as a stat stick for a main DPS Arts Unit Operator. Meanwhile, Thermite Cutter is a very good support weapon that can provide additional damage boosting effect to allies.

– Decent Picks: Sundered Prince. A decent choice for Greatsword characters that want to be the main controlled character to enable the team by quickly staggering enemies. 

– Low Value Picks: Former Finery and Valiant. Both Former Finery and Valiant are too niche and can only be used by certain selected characters while also offering too little in terms of effects, making them bad picks if players want to use these weapons for multiple characters.

Best Weapons To Pick

Among the 5 options available in the Level 45 6-star Weapon Crate, there are clear weapons that can be used by multiple different characters and weapons that are too specific to be valuable overall.

Taking into account the stats and effects of these weapons, the best options players should pick are:

– Best Picks: Detonation Unit, Wedge and JET. All three of these weapons offer immense effects to the wielder and can be used by a larger majority of the operators in the game, with Detonation Unit providing amazing support utility while Wedge and JET massively boosting the damage output of any Arts operators that can use them, making the wielders into potential main DPS options. These weapons can be used by any operators that deal Arts damage.

– Decent Picks: White Night Nova. A decent pick for a weapon if players want to use Sword Operators that can easily inflict Combustion or Electrification on enemies. Otherwise, it’s less universal than the 3 top picks due to its effect’s limitations.

– Low Value Picks: Exemplar. Once again, due to how this weapon only boosts the Physical damage output of the wielder, it can only be used by Physical-centric operators, making it less valuable overall for players to pick.
