Archero best weapon has its own unique benefit (and disadvantage), but I can already tell you that some are better than others.
There is a really long (and expensive) road to leveling your weapon, and if you choose the wrong weapon (or the one you have at the highest rarity), you’ll be thrown back so far in the game. Therefore, I have written a full guide to the weapons with my clear recommendations on which weapons you should use as your primary weapon.
Listed below are my thoughts (aligned with the opinions and experiences of other players that I play Archero with) regarding the clear ranking of all weapons.
For equipment recommendations (check here) and pet recommendations (see here), I have outsourced them to their own guides.
