Alright, let's talk about weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins! Picking the right tool for the job can make a huge difference, and I've put together a system to help you figure out which ones really shine. Think of this as your cheat sheet to understanding what makes a weapon great, from slicing through armies to taking down tough duelists.

Here's how I break down the scores:

B: This weapon struggles a bit in certain situations, maybe due to weak damage or needing a lot of setup. It's usable, but not ideal.
A: Solid performance. This weapon gets the job done well without any major drawbacks or needing special items.
S: Excellent! These weapons make things easy, dealing tons of health or Fortitude damage, or having simple mechanics that just work.
S+: Top-tier. On top of being great, these weapons have something almost broken that completely trivializes encounters or surpasses all others in its category.
S++: The absolute best. These weapons are record-breaking or truly broken, offering unparalleled power.

Now, let's look at the categories I use to judge them:

Duels: Can you win by just blocking and retaliating with combos? Most weapons get an 'A' here, but bonus points go to those with high combo damage that don't drain your Bravery, or a counter-art that makes duels a breeze.
Weapon Damage: This checks if a weapon has good air combos and can link into powerful Battle Arts. I use the sword as the standard here.
Fortitude Damage: Similar to weapon damage, but focused on depleting the enemy's Fortitude. If a weapon does more Fortitude damage than the standard sword with zero-cost combos, it gets a higher score.
Vs Large Armies: Speed and efficiency are key. How quickly and easily can you clear out a horde? The Battle of Changban is my go-to stage for testing this.
Vs Lu Bu: This specifically tests how well a weapon performs against Lu Bu at Xia Pi. Can it dish out 10 Fortitude combos? Can you recharge Bravery fast enough? Basically, how quickly can you take down the big guy?
Difficulty to Use: While this doesn't get a score itself, I'll discuss the pros and cons here, and it heavily influences the final overall score.
Overall Score: This is my personal take on the weapon. It includes two scores: one for overall performance (not an average of the others) and one for how much fun I had using it.

Weapons are listed below, ranked from top tier to lower tier.
