There are many amazing weapon combos in this game but I will only name my main five here. Cael Hammer & Bullhead Shield, Dueling Pistols & Brusher’s Pike, War Machete & Dueling Pistols, Breaker’s Bow & Flame Bellows, and Cael Hammer & Galleon Mortar.
1.Cael Hammer + Bullhead Shield
Bullhead Shield & Cael Hammer
Hammer and shield options are quite common in fantasy RPGs. This is a combo I use when I can’t quite get past a certain area and it has not failed me often.
The Cael Hammer/Bullhead Shield pairing is the most basic one out there. Together they do well against enemies by using the shield to counter attacks then get close with the hammer at decent power and BOOM! Most enemies are gone. There are other pairings that could do better, but this is one of the first options available as a combo.
What's Great About This Combo:
- Shield- counters most attacks
- Hammer- effective at knocking back enemies and lowering health
- Decent offense and defense when used together
The effectiveness of this combo cannot be overstated. When the Cael Hammer is upgraded quite a bit it becomes powerful in its own right. The Bullhead Shield may not get the exact same treatment but it is a stalwart and sturdy weapon that has saved me time and again…when I remember to use it.
2. Dueling Pistols + Brusher’s Pike
Brusher's Pike & Dueling Pistols
Pistols and a Spear may not seem like much but I can promise they do well together in areas like Point Lemaign where both up close and keeping some distance is wise.
Together these two weapons can take on almost any enemy that comes at it, besides Boss areas of course. Personally there is not a better choice when you get further into the game with multiple enemies at once.
What's Great About This Combo:- Good for range- both the pistols and the pike allow for shooting or throwing from a distance
- Pistols can deal with enemies that get too close for the pike to be effective
- Pike can take on some stationary enemies that can cause damage if walked in front of
There was one level I tried where I didn’t think about weapons first and just had these. Worked really well so I keep using it once I reach a certain point in-game. It’s very effective.
3. War Machete + Dueling Pistols
War Machete & Dueling Pistols
The War Machete is pretty decent by itself, even has limited throwing range with a power throw. Then the dueling pistols have both ranged and slightly closer combat options. Again another good option that is useful in almost any area.
This pairing has quite a bit of usefulness when used properly. Both are weapons you get early to mid game and are useful for enemies that like to surround or gang up on you. I like this one in places like Colford Cauldron where small enemies are plentiful.
What's Great About This Combo:
- War machete has power throw as well as up close
- Dueling pistols has ranged option for enemies farther away and some ability for close fighting
Together they are an almost invincible duo.
The effectiveness of this pairing is really good. I used it on my game last night as well and it got rid of enemies that surrounded me and those from a distance. I recommend you try it!
4. Breaker’s Bow + Flame Bellows
Breaker's Bow & Flame Bellows
Breaker’s bow upgraded properly can do decent ranged damage. Flame Bellows by itself is pretty amazing. Together you get burning range and arrow range. The best thing is the up close option on the bellows.
The power that this duo brings is not as nice as some other combos I listed but can cover most bases. Close combat is not always necessary and this pairing can prove it. Lay down some suppressing flame and swap to the bow as necessary is how I play it.
What's Great About This Combo:
- Flame bellows acts like a flame thrower and can decimate enemies surrounding you & cause secondary damage
- Breaker’s bow can pick up stragglers that are keeping distance
The effectiveness of this pairing is really good when in thorny situations. Plus who doesn’t like being able to just burn things with a fancy flamethower? I know I do!
5. Cael Hammer + Galleon Mortar
Cae; Hammer & Galleon Mortar
Cael hammer has been talked about above but it’s still an amazing weapon and worth putting in another combo for. Talking about the galleon mortar though is a completely different thing. It uses bombs that have a decent range and causes more damage than most weapons offered in the game.
These two can take care of almost anything. Add in either secret skill offered for them and there’s going to be an area empty of enemies quickly.
What's Great About This Combo:
- Cael hammer for up close enemies
- Galleon mortar has ranged bomb area
- Takes care of those enemies near and far
Honestly, this pairing is very effective. What one can’t take care of the other does great in cleaning up after. I recommend this one just because it’s both fun to flame everything and hit it all at the same time.
