We’ll also tell you how you might unlock each one.
Each weapon in Hades 2 has6 main attacks.
To charge an attack and unleash an Omega version of it, hold down the regular prompt before releasing.
Each weapon will also have the ability to perform aDodge Attackand aCast.
All Casts (except for the Umbral Flames) start at 180 damage.
The cast attack will summon a circular sigil on the ground.
Enemies within the sigil will be snared and take damage.
Despite this, it is by no means weak and still offers a powerful short and long-range attack.
The staff is suited for thinning large crowds of enemies and is best used at a range.
The Sister Blades are a brilliant option that lend themselves well to the fast-paced combat of Hades 2.
The Special is extremely useful at targeting multiple foes at once.
Although, the reach of the blades is much shorter so they suit a more aggressive build.
Pair this with Hestia’sControlled Burn Boonand these daggers will also inflict Scorch damage on enemies.
For this build, you’ll likely be relying on Dodge a lot more.
I found that theFridgid Sprint Boonfrom Demeter also worked very well.
This Boon will create a cyclone of frost when you dodge and has the chance of freezing enemies.
In short, the Umbral Flames can be very powerful but require some skill to wield effectively.
Unlike the other starting weapons, the Cast attack will deliver150 damageto foes instead of 180.
Additionally, whilst performing this attack, you’ll usually pick up any expended skulls in the process.
you’re free to Dodge and Attack for a sweeping hit behind enemies.
The UnseenArcana Card is also incredibly useful.
With this, you’re able to repeatedly queue up Omega Special attacks.
This combination allowed me to quit literally Blitz past the first boss and inflicted seriously impressive damage.
Equipped weapons will have a ring around them.
Silvercan be mined from ores throughout Erebus, they will look likerocks with crescent moonson them.
To mine, you’ll need to first unlock the Crescent Pick.
To do so, brew the ‘Night’s Craftwork’ Incantation at Hecate’s cauldron.
For the Argent Skull, you’ll need Glass Rock and Bronze.
Glass Rock can be mined with the Crescent Pick within the third major region past Erebus.
Whereas Bronze can be found within thecity of Ephyra, above ground.

That rounds off our guide to the best weapons in Hades 2.
