All 31 Class, Fabled and Trait Weapons in Rogue Legacy 2

Rogue Legacy 2 is a platform game where you explore randomly generated dungeons, and when your heir dies, the run ends and you start again with a new one. Weapons are the tools your heir fights with, and each class comes with its own, from swords and bows to wands and cannons. Beyond those, Fabled Weapons and certain traits add more choices, so knowing how weapons work and where to get them makes it easier to pick the right one for your run.

How Weapons Work in Rogue Legacy 2

Weapons are your heir's main way of dealing damage, and each one fights in its own style. Some are melee weapons that hit up close, like the Great Sword, the Katana and the Labrys. Others attack from a distance, like the War Bow and the Wand of Blasting. The Cannon mixes both, opening with a close hit that knocks enemies back and following up with a ranged shot.

Many weapons also reward a particular habit. A Knight who dashes into an attack gets a guaranteed critical hit on the swing that follows, a Ranger who releases the bow the moment the arrow flashes always lands a critical hit, and a Barbarian's ground attacks always do. Critical hits deal extra damage, so learning these timings is worth the practice.

Some weapons also demand more of you. The Gunslinger's revolver needs manual reloading, which most weapons in the game don't.

Class Weapons and How to Unlock Them

Every class starts with its own weapon, so the class you pick also decides how you fight. Your heir starts as a Knight, so that class is available from the beginning. Every other class is unlocked by buying its own upgrade in the Manor with gold, so new weapon styles open up as you spend your gold.

How to Get Fabled Weapons in Rogue Legacy 2

Fabled Weapons are alternates for the standard class weapons. A Fabled Class uses one of them in place of its standard weapon. The change is in how your heir attacks.

You unlock Fabled Classes in the Soul Shop, and each one costs Souls. Once you buy a Fabled Class, you can pick it when you choose your heir.

Fabled Weapons also drop at random in Curio Shoppes during a run, for any class. When one drops, it replaces your current weapon.

Best Weapons in Rogue Legacy 2

No single weapon is best for every run, because the right pick depends on the enemies you face and how you like to fight. Many powerful weapons come with a catch. The Enkindled Gauntlets explode, and those explosions can hurt you, so they're risky in tight rooms but work well in wide-open arenas like boss rooms. The Handheld Ballista hits harder per shot than any other weapon, but it only fires from the ground and you can't cancel a shot once you commit to it.

The Pepperoni Pizza is thrown and returns to you, and it can land a critical hit as it comes back. Charon's Scythe carries your heir forward with its main attack, so you have to time your swings, since touching enemies hurts you. Trying a few of them is the surest way to find one that suits your style.

Trait Weapons and How Traits Change Your Weapon

Traits are perks and drawbacks your heir starts with, and several of them change how your weapon works. Contrarian takes the choice away from you: it gives your heir a random weapon and a random talent, along with a gold bonus.

Pacifist works the other way. An heir with it can't attack enemies, and the trait comes with extra gold to make up for it. Picking up a real weapon at a Curio Shoppe changes the trait to Pacifier, which lets the heir attack again while keeping the gold bonus.

Other traits simply raise or lower weapon damage, usually with a trade-off. Combative boosts weapon damage at the cost of health, Vampirism boosts it while making you take much more damage, and Crippling Intellect cuts both weapon damage and health.
