Hey everyone. I'm kind of new to PSO and certainly new to hunters. I'm levelling my 25 HUnewearl, also have a HUcast. I currently have a bunch of weapons and am trying to understand which ones to use, and when.
There a bunch of factors and some of them I don't know much about. For example, weapon reach, single or multi strike, character animations and whatnot. And for sure some here are much better than others. So long story short, what is the order of importance by which I should be picking out my weapons? These are the ones I have right now:
Berserk Gladius 30/0/0/35/35
Fill Gladius 0/0/50/0/40
S-beat's Blade 0/0/0/0/0
Musashi 0/0/0/10/0
Flowen's Sword 25/0/0/0/0
Dragon Slayer 0/0/0/0/0
Slicer of Assassin 15/0/0/0/25
Diska of Liberator 0/15/0/15/0
Brionac 25/30/10/0/0
Arrest Diska +4 20/35/0/0/0
My answer is kind of messy but hopefully it's a bit helpful:
Single target weapon: single-hit is usually faster in animation, while multi-hit will do more damage per combo.
Crowd Control: two choices, Sword/Partisan and/or Slicers. Sword and Partisan are pretty similar and you can get away with only one for the most part, they usually do higher damage to more targets at close range; slicers attacks 4 targets at range, but can often use better combos.
Guns: handgun is useful for long range and clean up (taking out almost dead enemies faster since handgun has the fastest animation out of all weapons). Mechgun will eventually be great once you have enough ATP/ATA.
Status Effect: will be important later on but not too important at low levels. Non of the listed weapons is good at this.
Hell weapons: certain enemies will die faster to these, but usually you need ATA to hit.
At your level, for the most part just pick weapons with better stats (highest ATP, unless its ATA is too low). Only exception is the two sacrificial weapons (Berserk Gladius and Musashi) which you can attempt to use its special.
