Arbalest Ego Or Katana Ego

[Darknight57]

With G15 Out, I Can Make A Arbalest Ego. Now I Need To Decide Which To Use.

Well, do you range or do you melee more?

Well I'm Gonna Use Melee More Until I Get Arrow Revolver For Range.

Not really a big fan of crossbows of any kind. Isn't Katana the weaker version of Masamune?

With G15 Out, I Can Make A Arbalest Ego. Now I Need To Decide Which To Use.

1. Start with a female blunt weapon.
2. Increase strength/luck/will
3. Switch to a sword/bow.

While crossbows/arbalests make decent spirit weapons, I recommend that you make a bow (or sword) instead.

The improved adact of a spirit crossbow gives you some leniency when enchanting, though it's easier to enchant your gear for critical than damage in order to maximize your damage after reaching your critical checkpoint. Crossbows also have lackluster maximum effective range/aim speed (1800/1900) and you cannot take advantage of the campfire bonus when using them.

Improved mobility is a luxury.

As far as melee spirit weapons are concerned, I recommend against the katana. Here are some better options.
- Hooked Cutlass
- Muramasa
- Bastard Sword

So I Should Just Make A Mace Ego Then Switch To A Bow Ego?

While I'm At This Thread
I'ma Just Ask, Should I Use Sword Or Mace Once I Make My Bow Ego?

You will lose a lot of levels by switching just to feed with higher gains, it's unknown if we will ever get transfer protection potions just like how debind potions never made it here.
