Weapons Guide

The following values of weapon physical damage, elemental damage, percentage and time values are the maximum values attainable when the respective weapons are upgraded to their maximum star and level.

Early Game

Markov Type A comes highly recommended at early game. This weapon comes with the skills Cannon which increases charged attack firepower and Redlotus Breath which gives ignites the enemies.

• Markov Type A: A heavy Honkai energy weapon produced by Mikoyan Design Bureau. It was once standard Soviet weapon, but now comes with Honkai energy crystal shard. Its technology system is not of Schicsial nor of Anti-Entropy. This weapon comes with the skills Cannon and Redlotus Breath. Cannon makes the first charging stage do a single shot, the seconds stage releases a double shot and the third stage releases a triple shots with super power. Redlotus Breath gives a 60% chance of igniting the target, dealing 150 damage every 0.5 second for 4.10 seconds.

Late Game

Quantum Destroyer Type-II or Core Evoker Delta, either one of these two weapons comes highly recommended for late game. Quantum Destroyer Type-II a strong weapon that gives ice damage and draws in the enemies with blackhole. Core Evoker Delta gives lightning damage and bonus damage to paralyzed enemies, which if coupled with Valkyrie Chariot's passive skill Agravity Wall, becomes a very devastating combination. I personally recommend Core Evoker Delta.

• Quantum Destroyer Type-II: With the data obtained from experiments on Seele, the Anti-Entropy has achieved huge breakthroughs in the research of quantum technology, and in turn used what they learned to develop this weapon. This weapon comes with the skills Quantum Laser and Frozen Dimension. Quantum Laser shoots laser to deal damage over time to targets in a straight line. Continuous attacks cause overheating. The closer a target is, the highers damage it'll receive. Maximum damage is reached when the distance is shorter than 3 meters. Quantum Laser also increases physical damage done to enemies slowed by Time Slow by 35%. Frozen Dimension creates a blackhole to draw enemies in and then teleports backwards. It then, creates a slowdown field that lasts for 6 seconds, decreasing Movement Speed of enemies inside it by 60% and dealing 188 ice damage every 0.6 seconds. Casting Frozen Dimension requires 20 SP and it has a 20 seconds cooldown.
• Core Evoker Delta: A super-EM cohesion cannon developed by the ME Corp Headquarters via the test data results from Project-MEI. It compresses Honkai energy particles through the binds of an EM field, and when the compression limit is reached, power is released in the form of energy spheres. This weapon comes the skills EM Laser and EM Overload. EM Laser shoots laser to deal damage over time to targets in a straight line. Continuous attacks cause overheating. The closer a target is, the higher damage it'll receive. Maximum damage is reached when the distance is shorter than 3 meters. EM Laser also increases damage done to paralyzed enemies by 16%. EM Overload shoots an energy ball that moves forward slowly, dealing 640 lightning damage to enemies in its path multiple times and stunning then for 3.60 seconds. Casting EM Overload consumes 20 points of SP and has a cooldown of 20 seconds.

Stigmata Guide

The following Stigmata set is recommended for early game. The set grants one bonus skill, the Shield Lockon 2 Sets. Shield Lockon 2 Sets increases damage by 10% when enemy's Elite Shield isn't broken. It's not a complete 3 set because Nikola Tesla (B)'s Stun Lockon skill is better than Sakamoto Ryoma's Debuff Resistance 3 Sets.

• Sakamoto Ryoma (T): A powerful attack-type Stigma. Can be assembled to form the Eight Laws set. A four star, level 35 Sakamoto Ryoma (T) comes with the skill Charge Enhance which increases physical damage of charged attacks by 18%.
• Sakamoto Ryoma (M): A powerful defense-type Stigma. Can be assembled to form the Eight Laws set. A four star, level 35 Sakamoto Tyoma (M) comes with the skill Switch Skill Enhance which increases physical damage of switch attacks including QTE by 41%.

Late Game

The following Stigmata set is recommended for late game. The set grants two bonus skills, the Planck Constant 2 Sets and the Quantum Entanglement 3 Sets. The Planck Constant 2 Sets increases ranged damage by 15% when equipped on Bronya. Also, when attacked and damage taken is less than 15 times the wielder's level, the wielder takes damage but doesn't get interrupted. Quantum Entanglement 3 Sets recovers 5% HP upon hitting an enemy. It has a 5.0 seconds cooldown and also increases SP gaining speed by 30% when equipped on Bronya. 

• Planck (T): An ultimate attack-type Stigma. Can be assembled to form the Maidess of Quanta set. A five star, level 50 Planck (T) comes with the skill Quantum Superpose which increases the wielder's damage by 6.2% for every 10.0% of HP missing. The lower the current HP, the higher the damage.

A five star, level 50 Planck (M) comes with the skill Quantum Collapse which increases physical damage taken by 72%.
