Top 5 Best Weapons in Beast of Reincarnation (& How to Get Them)

Beast of Reincarnation takes players 2,000 years into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting in Japan, where humanity has been corrupted by the mysterious Blight, allowing nature to reclaim much of the known in-game world. You play as Emma alongside her companion dog Koo, hunting down powerful creatures known as Nushi as you travel through the map.

But what’s better than a cool setting? The answer is even cooler weapons. This game features roughly 21 blade and sword weapons, and if you are wondering which to go for first, these are the 5 best weapons in Beast of Reincarnation, as well as how to get them.

5 Hunter’s Sword

The Hunter’s Sword earns its spot thanks to Envenomed, a passive that coats every swing in poison and steadily drains enemy health over time. Since the vast majority of enemies in Beast of Reincarnation are vulnerable to poison, this blade stays relevant further in the game than just the early grind.

Attack	27
Element	Poison
Passive	Envenomed

How to Get the Hunter’s Sword

You’ll find this one in the Great Wall Terraces, part of the Mountainous Region. Head toward the southern section of the zone. Look for a Storyteller Golem stationed by the Great Forest: Entrance campsite. Sit through its story, and the sword is yours for the taking, resting right where the golem stands.

4 Sunrise Sword +3

Fire is one of the most forgiving elements to build around in the game since a few enemies resist it, and the Sunrise Sword’s Light of Dawn ability makes the most of that. Each swing ignites the blade, applying flame buildup while also boosting overall slash damage, making it a reliable pick from the moment it’s picked up through the middle chapters.

Attack	21
Element	Flame
Passive	Light of Dawn

How to Get the Sunrise Sword +3

This one doesn’t require a detour. Right as Chapter 4 begins in the Pilgrim’s Zone, follow the main road north past the Scorched Grassland campsite, and the blade will be waiting out in the open for anyone passing by.

3 Winterwake

Winterwake’s name suggests ice, but the sword is actually built around fire. Every hit under its Vermillion effect ignites nearby enemies, building a flame status that does damage over time. Blended well with solid base damage, it holds up even better as the fight goes on.

Attack	21
Element	Flame
Passive	Vermillion

How to Get Winterwake

Winterwake is tucked away in the Crater Zone, right beside the Nushi’s Lair Entrance campsite. Rather than being a pickup, it has to be purchased from the Wandering Merchant stationed there, so keep some currency saved up before heading into the area.

2 Spring Storm

Spring Storm stands out for stacking two effects into one ability. Turbulence drenches enemies with every hit, slowing their movement and attack speed while also padding out slash damage. Against groups or anything that struggles once soaked, that combination of crowd control and raw output makes Spring Storm punch well above its early-game stats.

Attack	21
Element	Water
Passive	Turbulence

How to Get Spring Storm

You’ll find this sword in the Crater Zone during the Cavern Gates objective. As you make your way toward the Lake Base’s Outer Wall, keep an eye out for a fallen golem partway down the connecting corridor. The sword is sitting just past it, not far from where the control panel room opens up.

1 Hazebringer

The Hazebringer is in this list for a simple reason- acid is the fastest status effect in the game to pay off. Its Caustic Touch passive builds Acid on every hit, and unlike poison’s slow tick, acid damage lands almost immediately once it triggers. That makes this sword a strong pick against armored enemies that are resistant to other elements.

Attack	27
Element	Acid
Passive	Caustic Touch

How to Get the Hazebringer

Travel to the Matsukawa Zone and find the massive cube structure south of the Upper Matsukawa Colony. Ride the elevator inside it all the way down, work through the science-facility-style rooms that follow, and check the second chamber. You will find the blade planted in a fallen enemy there.

There are so many different builds that players can freely make up in Beast of Reincarnation, and these five weapons cover just about every playstyle the game supports. Which one is earning the most playtime in your current run? Make sure to let us know about it in the comments below!
