Kruber Spear & Shield is the absolute best shield weapon in the game. It has efficient horde clear combo on both light and heavy attacks. The special attack, however, is the most unique and amazing part of this weapon, being able to block every single attack in the game(including monster slam attacks) while dealing good single target damage, easy solution to deal with Monk/Berserker and tanking monster/boss. Combine with the strong shield push that is able to stagger most elites out of their overhead (with some property/trait investment), it is the ultimate survivability and frontline weapon, while having above-average dodge among heavy weapons and decent damage.

Pros: All rounded, has good horde clear and single target damage. Very safe to use. High dodge among shield weapons. High stagger.
Cons: Fairly low DPS compare to normal high damage weapons.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Special attack:
Spear and Shield special attack(default key: Mouse 5) is two light spears poke while blocking. It has good damage on unarmoured units and low damage on armoured. Use it when you are under pressure, like tanking a Monster/Boss or fighting multiple unstaggerable elites.

Against horde:
When fighting horde for high DPS, use combo light attack - light attack - block cancel

When fighting horde for high stagger, use combo push - heavy attack.

Against elite:
When fighting unarmoured elites, use chain light attack.

When fighting armoured elites, use combo push attack - heavy attack - heavy attack.

Against monster:
When fighting unarmoured monster, use chain light attack.

When fighting armoured monster, use combo push attack - heavy attack - heavy attack.

Trollhammer Torpedo is a unique grenade launcher range weapon. Its projectile has similar damage/impact as a Bomb, while being able to deal headshot or crit damage. However, it is heavily limited to its ammo count and regen, while the huge explosion damage drop off making it less effective on multiple elites unless they are tightly grouped up. The ability to block/push is only a small utility tool.

Cons: Low reload speed. Fairly low ammo count and bad ammo regen. Fairly low accuracy.

Moonfire bow is the energy weapon version of longbow. Unlike longbow relying on headshot instant kill, moonfire bow relies on its DoT damage, though DoT damage does increase when landing critical hit/headshot. With high headshot rate, longbow can snipe specials and elites faster than moonfire bow, but they have similar bodyshot breakpoints, and moonfire bow has infinite ammo, and can use traits like Barrage/Hunter to boost your melee weapon without worrying about sustain.

Pros: Good special breakpoints. Versatile. No ammo sustain issue.
Cons: Full charge requires time. Limited arrows in a short period of time.

Griffionfoot is Saltzpyre's unique shotgun weapon. Compare to Blunderbuss/Grudge Raker, it has even better horde clear and crowd control ability, thanks to its high ammo count, fast reload and special spread pattern. However, it loses their high stagger power, and its spread pattern making it even worse at dealing with armour units, especially at medium to long range.

Pros: High close range Infantry/Berzerker damage. Great spread pattern for close range horde clear.
Cons: Early range damage fall off. Low Armour/Monster damage. Low stagger power.

Default mode(left-click):
Can hold left click to continuously fire.
Should be used for most targets.

Alt-fire mode(right-click):
Should be used to stagger extreme close range mobs.

Alternatively, if you have at least one ammo in stock, you can bash - reload cancel - bash to bash faster.

Dodge:
100% dodge distance, 2 dodge count
Armor Piercing:
The primary attack pierces normal armour. Does not pierce Super Armor without headshot/crit.
Geyser applies DoT to all targets.
Crit chance:
No extra crit chance.
Mass modifier:

Coruscation Staff is a close to medium range specialized staff. The left-click primary attack drains a huge amount of heat but provides decent burst. Goes very well with careers that wants to maintain high heat or have abilities to increase your cast time. The right-click geyser attack charges super fast and leaves a fire pit that deals high DoT damage against all types of enemies. But the area is small and lacks stagger, and multiple fire pit DoT damage does not stack. Some enemy AI would try to avoid the fire pit thus taking low to no damage, but sometimes you can use this mechanic to re-path enemies and funnel them to use high burst primary attack to burst them.

Pros: Primary attack has high close/medium range Infantry/Berzerker damage, good close/medium range Armour/Monster damage. Geyser attack has fast charge rate and does good damage.
Cons: Primary attack drains huge amount of heat. Geyser attack covers small area. Both attacks have low to none long range damage.

Primary attack(left-click):
Left click.
Should be used for close to medium range lined up Infantry/Berzerker enemies, and moving Monster/Armoured enemies.

Can use QQ cancel to increase primary attack fire rate.

Geyser attack(right-click):
Hold right click, then left click.
Holding right-click will increase firepit radius and damage.
Should be used to crowd control, changing enemy path or dealing high DoT to enemies passing through it. Or deal damage to Monster/Armoured enemies that are kept at the same place.
