S-Tier Weapons
| Weapons | Features |
|---|---|
| Aspect of Medea | • This aspect is a huge improvement for the Argent Skull, especially by letting you use Specials while dashing, which allows you to create some lightning-fast, high-mobility combos. • It can deal massive close-range damage, although you’ll have no invulnerability frames. |
| Aspect of Morrigan | • Equipped on the Sister Blades, it creates the Blood Triad ritual, which deals a massive combo attack with a Special and an Omega attack in addition to teleporting enemies into harmful zones. • It also deals AoE damage, which makes it an excellent choice for high-aggro builds. |
| Aspect of Circe | • When using it on the Witch’s Staff, this aspect leans hard into cast synergy, buffing damage from the binding circle in conjunction with the ability to dual cast. • Great for pinning enemies in place, zoning them, and building around powerful Boons that freeze or deal damage over and over again. |
A-Tier Weapons
| Weapons | Features |
|---|---|
| Aspect of Supay | • This hidden aspect of the Umbral Flames draws power from the Omega attacks that fire at a high interval for rapid bursts of damage. • One drawback is the quickly depleted Magick resource and the need for Boons, such as Scorch or Blitz. |
| Aspect of Nyx | • This aspect will give you two Nightspawns that double each of your attacks as they mimic your own strikes. • The outcome is significant AoE damage that is exceptional, providing nearly unbeatable crowd control and damage over time. |
| Aspect of Anubis | • Deploys waves of damage with your attacks that rely on trapping or pulling enemies via your Specials for elemental boon synergies. • Use it for devastating room clears through precise zoning and crowd manipulation. |
| Staff Melinoe Aspect | • The base aspect of the Witch’s Staff provides Special Powers for support hybrid builds. • This versatile aspect allows you to play around with either Omega moves or standard strikes and Magick. |
| Aspect of Moros | • Creates a delayed explosion effect for the Umbral Flames, allowing your attacks to persist for 6 seconds before being triggered by Specials. • Useful for spammy combo style that follows into lingering explosions, resulting in potential explosive damage and high single-target damage. |
| Aspect of Nergal | • When equipped on the Moonstone Axe, it enables a Berserk mode after enough repeated hits that grants an additional 8 seconds of increased move speed and health regen on hit. • It speeds up your slow attacks and self-sustaining strikes during extended encounters. |
| Aspect of Charon | • Here’s another Moonstone Axe aspect with massive AoE blasts, and with additional Special potential that provides safe and effective combos with infinite Magick. • When it’s used in conjunction with something like Apollo’s Lucid Gain, it gains extra power. |
B-Tier Weapons
| Weapons | Features |
|---|---|
| Blades Melinoe Aspect | • The default aspect of the Sister Blades prioritizes quick, accurate attacks and Specials for mid-level damage. • When used with Scorch or Blitz, it stacks the damage output really quickly. |
| Aspect of Thanatos | • Improves Special damage and your speed, and is intended for aggressive and highly mobile playstyles. • Use it to chain kills and increase Specials for precise and devastating attacks. |
| Aspect of Momus | • Transforms Specials into piercing projectiles that increase damage with each enemy hit. • Useful for controlling crowds and scaling damage in tightly packed rooms when combined with elemental boons. |
| Aspect of Persephone | • Creates explosive zones with Specials that will detonate and deal high area damage. • If used with spatial combos and boons such as Hestia’s Scorch, expect to see an even bigger detonation. |
| Flames Melinoe Aspect | • The default aspect of the Umbral Flames is targeted towards distance attacks and Specials that orbit around you. • Well-suited for balanced build variants while combining cast or elemental build styles. |
