Six weapons, six rhythms
Sephiria has six weapon families, each with its own range, pace, and defensive options. This hub orients you to all six before you pick a page. The Steam store confirms six weapon families, each with more than 50 upgrades; the specific traits below are editorial and community assessments, not official ratings.
| Build page | Weapon family | Range | Pace | Difficulty (community assessment) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sword and Shield | Sword and Shield | Short melee | Mid-speed, defensive | Low–mid |
| Greatsword | Greatsword | Melee, wide arc | Slow heavy hits | Mid |
| Dagger | Dagger | Close melee | Multi-hit fast attack | High |
| Crossbow | Crossbow | Ranged | Magazine-based | Mid |
| Staff | Staff | Ranged caster | MP and cooldown gated | Mid |
| Grimoire | Grimoire | Mid-range caster | MP-cost rotation | Unverified |
How to choose
Pick by the problem you need to solve first. Defensive play points to Sword and Shield; reach and safety point to Crossbow or the casters; deliberate big hits point to Greatsword; high-skill parry play points to Dagger.
- Want a defensive option? Sword and Shield.
- Want safety through distance? Crossbow, Staff, or Grimoire.
- Want committed, interrupt-heavy melee? Greatsword.
- Want fast, high-risk melee with a parry? Dagger.
What each build page covers
Every weapon page follows the same structure so you can compare like with like.
- Playstyle role — what the weapon family is for.
- Core combat loop — the repeatable sequence to drill.
- Who this build suits — the player it fits.
- Strengths and weaknesses — honest trade-offs.
- Room combat — handling normal encounters.
- Boss combat — adapting the loop to a single target.
- Related entry points — where to go next.
