If you’re diving deep into the haunting world of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, your survival depends on the edge of your blade. Whether you’re slashing undead horrors or casting spells against fearsome bosses, choosing the right weapons is key to mastering combat. With 25 base game weapons (and 29 total if you score the preorder or deluxe editions), there’s a lot to consider before committing to your main tool of destruction.
Let’s break down each of the five core weapon types, plus why one might just fit your style better than the others. We’ll also list all known weapons, complete with stats, abilities, and how to find them!
How weapons work in Wuchang
While you begin your journey wielding the versatile Cloudfrost’s Edge, weapons in Wuchang are acquired as you progress through exploration, quests, and vendors. Each weapon aligns with specific character stats — Strength, Agility, Magic, and Feathering — and determines which skill branches you’ll want to upgrade in the game’s Impetus Repository skill tree.
However, you’re not locked into a single playstyle. Visit a shrine and reset your skills to try out a completely different weapon class, a welcome freedom that suits players who want to experiment or adapt to tough boss fights.
All weapon types in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
- Longswords
- One-Handed Swords
- Axes
- Dual Blades
- Spears
Longswords
Longswords offer balanced offense and defense. Their five-hit light combo is smooth and efficient, and their heavy attacks, especially once you unlock Windforce, can stagger bosses for critical openings. Be sure to grab the Sword Counter skill early for perfect parries that can negate full combos.
Scaling: Strength & Agility | Good choice for: All-rounders and first-timers
- Cloudfrost’s Edge – Starting weapon. Balanced and effective with Dash Strike.
- Lashing Whip – Found at Mercury Workshop; excels at wide-area attacks.
- Moonlight Dragon – Deluxe Edition; adds Lightning damage and paralysis.
One-Handed Swords
Prefer spells over steel? The One-Handed Sword is your arcane channeler. It’s not about melee damage: it’s the best companion for mages. With skills that charge Skyborn Might passively, like Biding Time, and powerful magic like Echo of Lu Bingzhang, this is your wand in sword form.
Scaling: Magic, Feathering, or Agility (varies) | Good for: Spellcasters
- Darkfrost Edge – Strong dodge buff with Evasive Maneuver.
- Boreal Abyss – Found in Snowfall Palace; uses Icebound Escape for Frostbite.
Axes
Axes are slow but hit like a volcanic eruption. Each swing can stunlock normal foes, and specialized moves like Thunderous Cleave and Earthshatter offer Poise Break and powerful AoE attacks. If you like to tank hits and return the favor tenfold, the axe is for you.
Scaling: Strength | Best for: Tanky melee builds
- Empyrean Greataxe – Found near Shu Sanctum; has aerial escape and dive attack.
- Vermillion War Club – Preorder bonus; great for Poise Break.
- Halberd – Found near Reverent Temple or from Wu Gang.
Dual Blades
Fast, flashy, and perfect for those who like hit-and-run tactics. Dual Blades can clash with enemy weapons, canceling attacks and building resources simultaneously. They shine in boss fights where evasion and aggression go hand-in-hand. Use Wave Breaker to cut through long enemy combos or Blademaster to buff your speed and damage.
Scaling: Strength & Agility | Great for: Aggressive, mobile players
- Twin Bandits – Found in Cloudspire Outskirts; blocks then retaliates.
- Firearm Blades – Provides ranged stun via Perfect Aim.
- Un-Equilibrium Blades – Spinning kicks, perfect for aerial punishes.
Spears
Spears are all about spacing and momentum. Their massive range and special attacks help you engage or escape fluidly. Spear builds stack Boldheart, which converts into Skyborn Might charges with abilities like Solar Leap. For counterplay, the Aerial Bulwark lets you parry unarmed and weapon-based attacks alike.
Scaling: Strength & Agility | Solid choice for: Mid-range pokers and counters
- Gunpowder Spear – Found in Cloudspire Outskirts; fast and disruptive.
- Dragoncoil Lance – Deluxe Edition; adds Frostbite through Vortex Thrust.
- Steampowered Spear – From Panda Vendor; transforms mid-combo!
- Red-Tasseled Spear – Found in Buddha Cliffs or Wu Gang vendor.
