Lenneth playersdon’t have to worry, as their characters wouldn’t just stay with the mediocre Midgar equipment they possessed prior to their death. Rather, these warriors’ journeys with Lenneth eventually allow them access to some of the most powerful weapons that exist in the world — an approach that may appear in Valkyrie Elysiumas well. Which Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth weapons are must-haves in the player’s arsenal?

10 Demon Sword “Levantine” (Sword)

Despite being labeled as a Demon Sword, the Demon Sword “Levantine” in Valkyrie Profile holds quite a bit of lore similar to its ancient weapon counterparts. Retrieved after killing the dragon Bloodbane, the Levantine serves as part of the Four Treasures that maintain the stability of Niflheim.

The Levantine’s 2,000 ATK and 300 HIT makes it a reliable weapon at the hands of a capable fighter. Not only that, but the weapon’s ATK gets a 1% boost for every percentage the user loses in DME. Theoretically, a user at half DME will have a Levantine boasting 3,300 ATK.

9 Soul Sword “Kusanagi” (Yamato Sword)

Despite Lenneth’s rather western theme compared to other JRPGs, the game does feature the Samurai class in the form of Jun and Suo. Wielding the Yamato Sword, they rely on swiftness and mobility to dish out mean damage to enemies. Among these weapons, the Soul Sword “Kusanagi” is perhaps the best of the bunch.

Boasting 2,990 ATK and 200 HIT, players who love the fast-paced nature of the Samurai Class can secure heavy damage with these weapons. The Kusanagi is also strong against Holy opponents, meaning it can practically instant-kill them upon hit.

8 Ethereal Divide (Spear)

With only Aelia and Lawfer serving as Lancers, it makes sense for players to have a rather limited arsenal of their Spear weapons. However, the Lancers in Lenneth are known for their fast-paced mid-ranged specialization. It’s this specialty that makes Ethereal Divide such a reliable Spear.

Boasting 3,300 ATK and 350 HIT, the Ethereal Divide is a decent choice for a weapon that can reach distant opponents. And while it doesn’t have any particular special statistics, it does boast the highest ATK ratings among Spears in the game, making this a must-have for Lancer mains.

7 Razor Shaft (Bow)

Despite Lenneth being a sword-touting Valkyrie, she’s very well capable of wielding other weapons in the Valkyrie Profile JRPG. When she picks up the trusty Bow, she’s capable wielding the Razor Shaft, considered the most potent Bow in the game. With the Razor Shaft, Lenneth is one of the most consistently-performing characters in any team.

Boasting 3,000 ATK and 300 HIT, this is by far the most consistent bow for long-ranged specialists. And while it doesn’t have any special properties unlike other weapons, Razor Shaft has the best stats that can facilitate consistent performance for Archers in the Valkyrie Profile title.

6 Mystic Sage (Wand)

Aside from having animated special attacks like in other JRPGs, some attacks from characters in Lenneth are considered Great Magic. When prompted, they trigger a special VFX that showcases a more powerful variant of the attack. Among the Wands in the game that can do this, Mystic Sage is the most powerful.

Boasting 8,500 ATK and 0 Converted MP, the Mystic Sage is second only to the Holy Wand of Telos in terms of sheer firepower. Its only caveat is its access to the Great Magic, as this essentially replaces a triple-spellcast with a special FMV. However, if this Great Magic doesn’t finish the enemy off and leads into their next turn, the weapon does have a chance of breaking.

5 Glance Reviver (Sword)

Sometimes, the best weapon in a JRPG is one with nifty lifesteal components. These can spell the difference between life and death for melee fighters. In the case of the Glance Reviver, this is definitely the case. Considered the third-most powerful Sword in the game, the Glance Reviver boasts 6,000 ATK and 300 HIT, making this a decent weapon in the hands of a fast-paced fighter. It can help players score a decent rank in the Valkyrie Profile game’s missions.

However, Glance Reviver shines in its effects. In addition to being able to instantly kill Dark foes, it has an additional 8% chance of killing any non-boss enemy in an instant. If this effect is triggered, the user will be healed the equivalent of said enemy’s Max HP.

4 Dainslef (Sword)

Lenneth’s Dainslef is proof that powerful weapons are more interesting if they have their own lore as well. Described as literally meaning “god-slayer,” it relies on power opposite its nature. The Dainslef is only acquired through the Seraphic Gate. This is either dropped by Hamsters, or is locked behind a treasure that requires Flame Jewels to open.

Either way, the Dainslef is considered the second-most powerful Sword in the game. It has 8,000 ATK and 300 HIT, giving it decent stats for the quick-footed melee attacker. Not only that, aside from facilitating Lenneth’s Level 3 Nibelung Valesti, Dainslef will instantly kill any opponent weak to Holy, as the Dainslef has this element.

3 Holy Wand Of Telos (Magic Wand)

Mages and other spellcasters are a rarity in any JRPG, and they must be handled carefully due to their nature as glass cannons. In the case of Lenneth, having any mage wield the Holy Wand of Telos transforms them into a powerhouse.

The most powerful Magic Wand in the game, the Holy Wand of Telos boasts 9,920 ATK and 20,000 Converted MP, making this a ridiculously powerful Wand on the onset. When used properly, Telos can augment magical attacks to become devastating battlefield cleansers. It’s perfect for more strategic takes in combat similar to other tactical RPGs.

2 Demon Sword “Nefarious” (Greatsword)

With the Seraphic Gate containing some of the most difficult dungeons and levels in the JRPG, it makes sense for one of its most powerful weapons to be locked within it as well. The fabled Demon Sword “Nefarious,” arguably the most powerful Greatsword in the game, can be found in its levels, either as treasure or drops after defeating Carnage Beasts.

The Nefarious boasts 13,000 ATK and 300 HIT. These are decent stats for heavy-hitting Greatsword-wielders, especially in JRPG teams that need tanks. Not only that, its Death Element means the Nefarious may be able to instantly kill all enemies weak to this element.

1 Angel Slayer (Sword)

It’s not uncommon for JRPGs to have their versions of ultimate weapons, and the Angel Slayer is an appropriate name for the most powerful weapon in Lenneth. Obtained only after defeating the Iseria Queen for the tenth time, this Sword serves as a reward for clearing the most difficult stage of the Seraphic Gate, especially with well-organized JRPG teams.

Boasting 20,000 ATK and 700 HIT, the Angel Slayer is easily capable of beating most monsters in the game. When equipped with Lenneth, this weapon allows her to access the Level 3 version of her Nibelung Valesti attack. However, it does only have Attack Trust 1, making it rather unreliable unless its user is built properly.

Valkyrie Elysium was released on September 29, 2022 for the PS4 and PS5 and will get a PC release on November 11, 2022.
