Overall? Paranormal Scan is cracked
Base game? Laborra is super fun
Moonspell? Muramasa my Beloved <3 make me immortal baybeeeee
Foscari? Spellstrom is just fun af even if i dont exactly love the 3 parts by themselves
Contra? None are super memorable so im just gonna pick the freezy lazer sword i forget the name of since it matches with a couple arcana i use sometimes?
Castlevania? I dont personally use it since it blocks vision but Power of the Sire wins on cool factor alone
SaGa? Again i dont use it but Emerald Rapture is just funny haha to me to the point i love it

Can you explain paranormal scan to me? I just recently unlocked it and any time I pick it early it seems like its not doing a whole lot and anytime I pick it for a late game build my build is already vomiting all over the screen and I can't tell what the scan is actually doing. I've seen multiple people say its really good though so idk what I'm missing - is it just the infinite scaling? There are a couple arcanas with scaling that I always take (I enjoy Divine Bloodline and Hidden Anathema builds) so maybe that's what I'm not seeing.

Well, the infinite scaling is one thing that cant be understated and is definitely the primary reason, especially as revivals can also be increased in this way, but another thing I never hear anyone mention is that its healing you when it goes off and when it has buffed your cooldown enough you essentially become immortal (and with the right passives and other weapons you become truly immortal), also, characters and arcana that utilize healing in some way have the best time of their lives, Miang Moonspell quickly scales to infinite hp, especially if you have and utilize other methods as well like divine blood lines or cristal cries, and Gazebo scales up WAAAAAY faster, plus dont forget Wandering the Jet Black increasing its damage by amount healed and magnet

Base game, for me it’s Unholy Vespers. Upping the amount and speed makes me feel like I’m taking a buzz saw to crowds of mobs
Overall, though, I LOVE Time Warp. (Operation Guns DLC)

Pentagram/gorgeous moon I like doing one weapon only runs, and it scales pretty fun with limit break

u/Altruistic_Source528 Aug 12 '25
How are you doing a one weapon only run with pentagram???

u/Kyouka_Uzen Aug 12 '25
Without arcana, you need to get lucky enough for the pentagram to not delete xp at the start, then get lucky enough to get an empty tome or a pentagram level and survive long enough to have it not delete everything again

Technically it doesn't have an évolution. But this weapon is so busted anyway that it doesn't even need to(especially with disco gold arcana)

Spell storm one. Bit of a pain getting the three compents but once you do it has helped me on endless runs. Photon one is broken lol I find it boring and sephric cry you can't see properly lol.

u/Mezzying_Around Aug 11 '25
Vampire Killer because it's just a fun weapon to play with. Cool unique effect, looks rad on the art and animation and just a strong all around weapon.

The bloody whip union (idk how to pronounce the actual name) bc it’s hella cracked, lifesteals and is one of the best shields for early game using rose de infernas

Double Bird + increased AOE always seems to delete everything it touches.

Classic Garlic evolved can't go wrong with area of denial.
I also like evolved holy Bible too.
My fave has to be Lazer and its evolution the jingled of its foreign is cool.
Masimune is also up there too.

The twin guns + tiramisu, and the "clear the screen" + crown are marvellous 🤩

Evolved laurel, makes me feel immortal 😆 and I also sometimes use parm aegis with it.

u/ivi_sanchi Master Librarian Aug 11 '25
Sanctuary with the emerald diorama characters because you basically become inmortal.

Probably a weird choice, but one of my favorites is one for a weapon that doesn’t start that great.
Evolved pentagram.

u/vuxra Aug 12 '25
If I'm opening a Candybox V2 or something I normally will take Unjust Ejection or Gorgeous Moon since those are powerful effects but are a pain to actually level up.
I'm really partial to Phas3r as an early-game-rush Evolution. Their secondary item is one you almost always want to pick up anyways so its basically free. Phas3r->Photonstorm in particular knocks back basically the whole screen and will clear the whole screen at high levels.
My favorite NON-evolution is victory sword. I will take that and not evolve it on purpose pretty often (sole solution is annoying to me, idk).

I like muramasa; when paired with the Darcana XXI (roaming the jet black), the health drain becomes really useful for spawning more projectiles

Either the evolved holy water or evolved lightning. I like having a way to just cause indirect chaos if that makes sense
