Which is the Best Weapon in Nier Automata?

[Music] hello everyone and welcome to who is best or in this case what is best today we will be examining one of the greatest games ever made near automata near automata is an action RPG with stunning graphics and ultra strange post-apocalyptic storyline and one of the most intuitive and entertaining battle systems ever created this is mostly due to the insane variety of weapons at your disposal swords great swords spears gauntlets even a rusty old pipe each weapon has two unique skills if that wasn't enough you can equip two of these awesome weapons which allows for never-ending combos today we will be examining these weapons and as is the norm around here placing them in tearless and don't forget to stick around to the end of the list to hear the best weapon combos for your playthrough now this is going to be tricky the game devs at platinum games knew what they were doing this game is incredibly balanced and with the right setup you could play through the hardest difficulty with the weakest weapons and still be a god with that being said we're all about shattering dreams and making weebs cry so let's get to the list now because there are 40 different weapons in this game we are going to be doing this in groups I will delve into individual weapons once we hit the top tier and god-tier but to get us started let's look at the top tier the crab tier is made up of nine weapons all of which serve really only one purpose your ax issue blade machine soar machine ax machine spear machine heads are all used primarily for shop discounts sure the machine weapons have a kill meter that increases in damage as you defeat enemies but there are still plenty of better options for you to choose from the handout more consistent damage the final up in the crap tier is also one of the last you get a meals head is more of a collector's item than a weapon it's insanity skill calls out attacks as you fight which well [Music] low-tier pretty much half of the weapons land on this tier not because they're bad because they have a hard time standing out from the rest there are plenty of fan favorites on this list like the Phoenix weapons which heal you as you attack or the Beast Lord from the original near I'm sure that some fans are going to be angry to find them here but in the end there are better single blades and combos past this tier with that being said here is the low tier the beasts pain Phoenix dagger cruel oath iron will beast Lord Phoenix or cruel blood oath Phoenix lands beast curse Dragoon lands type-3 lands virtuous dignity cruel arrogance type 3/5 type 40 fists virtuous grief crew lament now if you haven't quit out of this video yet why don't you hit the subscribe button for more tearless also follow me on twitter at low cloud 8 now let's get back to the list mid tier now we are moving into weapons that don't just have one good use but multiple uses faith is a fast moving sword that can be paired with another small sword like virtuous treaty to make a never-ending combo that heals you finger the twins pair with tsipras stick can do some insane damage really you can't go wrong with these weapons so here they are faith Fang of the twins tsipras stick type 3 fists ancient Overlord angels folly the engine blade in Final Fantasy 15 which that was a cool t2 I'm really glad that was in there i I do wish that the second skill wasn't just for looks but it was pretty cool anyway now we are into the most important weapons of the game every weapon here can serve multiple roles and can easily get you through the hardest difficulties so without further ado I give you the top tier the iron pipe is a strange weapon to say the least but don't let that fool you this short sword has krint plus and hi stun abilities all those together make for an extremely deadly weapon and remember these skills staff the iron pipe is a great companion to any weapon combo imaginable type 3 blade is a mob destroyer with this weapon you can throw yourself into a fray of enemies with little worry endurance up gives you a significant defense boost while finish blast makes an explosion every time you defeat an enemy we'll be seeing the type 3 blade again in the best combos the type 40 blade is easily the coolest looking weapon in the game this great sword boasts a high attack stat as well as a stun + ability that can immobilize your enemy it also boasts the type 40 unique skill energy charge which increases your damage after not being used for a few seconds this weapon is ideal for boss fights as it can immobilize as well as hand out heavy damage all in one package virtuous contracts is the first weapon you get it is one of the best small swords in the game which is surprising since as I said it is your first weapon the virtues contract and treaty make up one of the best weapon combos in the game and I don't think this was by accident this sword boasts higher attack speeds which makes it deadly paired with a weapon like faith and has the virtuous unique skill holy blessing which increases attack when you are at full HP almost nothing surpasses it now if that was enough it is time for the god tier there are three specific weapons in god tier and all three are indispensable in very hard difficulty the first is the spear of the usurper now if you've done any research into weapons for this game you will know that Spears aren't the best type in fact this is the only spear that made it past the low tier this is due to the weapons strange fighting style that only attacks ahead but if you're wanting to fight with one of these look no further than the spear of the usurper this weapon has the overpowered crit plus skill which remember is stackable so paired with the arm pipe ancient Overlord or Fang of the twins can be deadly by itself but spear of the usurper is the only weapon with the skill turncoat which has a chance of turning an enemy over to your side thus causing it to attack its fellow machines this skill can rock a huge mob of enemies with deadly force next we have virtuous treaty which again is the first weapon you start with this weapon boasts high attack speed and that Oh so awesome holy blessing which increases attack when you are at full HP being a large sword with high attack this thing is deadly as a primary or secondary weapon finally we have demons crime gauntlets are awesome weapons use they're fast especially with attack speed up which is a skill this weapon has and pretty versatile as a primary or secondary weapon but what makes this gauntlet god-tier is the skill Devils hatred which adds a shockwave after defeating an enemy this destroys mobs as they will have no time to attack you because you will be tearing through them with the literal hands of Satan ok maybe not but if you are looking for the best weapon in the game demons cry may very well take the cake now as far as best weapon combos in game this depends heavily on playstyle and chip setup but overall there are three ideal setups the first is demons cry as the primary weapon with type 3 blade as the secondary this will annihilate mobs for enemies as it will send shock wave after shockwave the increased defense and speed also helps you to be well rounded in attack and defense the next is the original virtuous set up as long as you keep your HP full this setup will have the most damage output in the entire game lightning fast attacks along with holy blessing will be ideal for boss battles just be sure to dodge attacks finally the most unique pairing the iron pipe and spear of the usurper now though an odd pairing this setup will have you taking down bosses with insane critical hits or brainwashing mobs to do your bidding either way this is a very versatile setup that won't let you down and there's my list let me know what your weapon combos are when I beat the game the first time I used faith and virtuous contract I loved how I literally never stopped attacking and healed all the while but that's enough about this please just enjoy watching the gorgeous babe to be as you subscribe [Applause] [Music]
