Dark and Darkerbrings a refreshing twist to thedungeon-crawlergenre. This free-to-play title stands out by enabling players to join forces with friends or strangers to conquer intricate dungeons. The gameplay is simple, yet the right combination of players can elevate the experience, making it both engaging and enjoyable.
Regarding weaponry, Dark and Darkerdiverges fromother MMORPGswith its unique approach. Instead of offering hundreds of weapon variations, the game presents a more focused selection, with around 10 options for each primary weapon type. In most cases, a player can choose a weapon style, such as two-handed, and use any weapon that is available to their class.
7Illusory
Great Magic User Weapon
Illusory is the best two-hander that mostmagic-wieldingclasses can use. It has fairly high DPS due to the additional 9 magic damage that each attack inflicts on the target. It also has some defensive use, driven by the special ability that grants invisibility after a spell has been cast successfully.
This is a medium-speed weapon, with all but one attack combo completing within a second. Overall, this is a good choice of weapon for most magic users, especially those wholike to play solo, due to its defensive utility.
6War Maul
The Best Two Handed Mace
The War Maul is arguably the best weapon available to a cleric inDark and Darker. It boasts exceptionally high damage but is incredibly slow. With a significant -50 player movement debuff, it is not suitable for players who prefer agility in combat.
In terms of attack combos, this weapon is very slow. No combo completes in less than a second. However, the 45% slowdown effect on hit is devastating to most enemies. However, in terms of pure DPS, there is no better two-handed weapon for a cleric in the game.
5Felling Axe
Good Mid-Game Weapon For A Barbarian
The Felling Axe inDark And Darkerwould be a good choice of two-handed weapon for a Barbarian until they can get their hands on a legendary or artifact weapon. This weapon does purely slashing damage, as most axes in the game do.
With its good DPS and middle-of-the-road player movement debuff, this is a versatile weapon. However, the Felling Axe is pretty slow. A full attack combo will take almost two seconds to complete. Meaning don’t miss when using the Felling Axe. Overall, a decent weapon, but there are better choices for a Barbarian in the end game.
4Battle Axe
Decent Axe For Fighter Or Barbarian
The Battle Axe is arguably the best non-legendary or artifact weapon that a Barbarian or Fighter can use inDark and Darkerif they intend to focus on two-handed weapon combat. The Battle Axe does excellent damage and has a medium player movement debuff.
This weapon can also scale up to 115% slashing damage, making it a much better option than the Felling Axe. It also has an excellent 30% slowdown on successful hits. The only real downside of the Battle Axe is that all attack combos take more than a second to complete.
3Fulgor
With Extra Thunder Damage
Fulgor is the premier two-handed slashing weapon inDark and Darker, though it is exclusively available to the Fighter class. With its additional thunderbolt damage on hit, this weapon excels in high-damage output and is ideal for builds prioritizing DPS over defense.
Despite a significant -40 player movement speed debuff, Fulgor remains a highly effective sword. Most attack combos complete within a second, with the exception of one. However, it offers only a modest 17% slowdown effect on hit, lasting for just one second.
2Cinder
The Best Fighter Two-Handed Weapon
Cinder is a polearm weapon that delivers the highest damage inDark and Darker. It features inherent additional damage and a damage-over-time effect. Combined with its already impressive damage stats, no other weapon rivals Cinder in terms of raw damage output.
However, this immense damage potential comes with significant drawbacks. Cinder imposes a substantial -50 player movement speed debuff and is the slowest weapon in the game. All attack combos take well over a second to complete, with one combo nearly reaching two seconds.
1Life After Death
The Best Weapon For A Barbarian
Barbarians should absolutely prioritize getting their hands on this weapon. It is particularly advantageous for players front-lining in combat due to its unique effect. When a Barbarian wielding this weapon receives a lethal blow, their health drops to 1, and they become invincible for a short duration.
That being said, the weapon’s speed is something to take note of, with a -45 movement debuff. Its attack combos will take longer than a second to complete, which might make it feel sluggish.
