01Mortal Shell II separates its combat tools into eight main weapons and eight sidearms. Main weapons set your melee rhythm, while sidearms cover range, status effects, crowd control, or a quick interruption when a close-range opening is unsafe. Match the upgrade plan to a moveset you can repeat reliably.

02The Iconoclast and Naylshotte are the opening weapon pair. The remaining weapons and sidearms are found across Fainweald and Mammon routes, with several tied to dungeons, Beacons, boss rewards, or a route that must be opened before they can be reached.

03Axatana is the strongest all-purpose main weapon in this ranking because it combines katana speed with axe options. For most other playstyles, Axe and Dagger, Black Needle, Veteran's Battle Axe, Caged Hystrix, and Forgotten Crossbow are the practical alternatives to test first.

The companion sidearm list puts Caged Hystrix and Troubadour's Lute in S tier. Recheck every placement against the Tarstones you can currently equip.
Axatana is a two-form main weapon found in the Ruins of Mammon, inside a hidden area of Vestige of Infinity. Start from Castigator's Keep Beacon, follow the mountain route down to the lower drop, and use the katana and axe forms deliberately because the transformation has a short delay.
