10Desert Zapper
Some of the best weapons inFinal Fantasy Brave Exviusare attained through participating in events, and theDesert Zapperis no exception. Attained by taking part in the “Chamber of the Fallen: Gargantuan Grub in the Sand” event, players may obtain this desert-themed weapon.
When acquired, the sword gives a decent ATK+183 to its user, perfect for melee-oriented fighters. Most interesting about the Desert Zapper is its effect, the Sand Worm Slayer. Through this, users of evenBrave Exviusstarting charactersget a 100-percent equipment attack boost when doing a single-wield stance, greatly boosting their offensive capabilities.
9Radiant Sunbreaker
Aside from featuring weapons from popularFinal FantasyandSquare Enixfranchises,Brave Exviusdoes have its fair share of potent weapons for players to acquire. Such an example would be theRadiant Sunbreaker, a sickle with an orange sheen said to possess the power of the sun itself. Unlike other powerful weapons, players can instead get this weapon through Premium Summons.
When acquired, the Radiant Sunbreaker does provide a decent ATK+183 boost to the player’s overall offensive capabilities. Its Scorching Rays effect not only gives a drastic Limit Break gauge boost but even boost its overall damage by 30-percent. Its straightforward nature makes it a perfect weapon for heavy-hitters like melee DPS or tanking units that need to get in the frontlines before the rest ofthe player’sBrave Exviusteam.
8Onion Sword+
One of the more popular stereotypes associated withFinal Fantasyis that of the Onion Knight, a class said to be as humble as the growing onion that, near the endgame, could become one of the most balanced Jobs around. Starring inFinal Fantasy 3, the Onion Knight may also wield the Onion Sword, a blade made specifically for them. InBrave Exvius, attaining Onion Knight - Neo Vision and attaining Super Trust Master with them will give theOnion Sword+as a reward, which players can equip to other characters who could use the power boost.
Aside from its ATK+188, DEF+22, and SPR+22 boosts, the Onion Sword+ is a must-grab for its Last Hope effect. With this, the user gets a 30-percent boost to Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth Resistances. Those dealing with pesky mages and multi-elemental foes could use the defensive boosts the Onion Sword could provide, making it perfectforBrave Exviustanks.
7Sagasinger
Prior to the success ofFinal Fantasy 14cameFinal Fantasy 11, the first attempt of Square Enix at aFinal FantasyMMO. Set in the world of Vana’diel,FF11took players on a journey that led them to an epic fight against the Shadow Lord, a corrupted spirit of the land’s greatest warrior who wanted nothing but to shroud the world in chaos. Similar toFF14,FF11players save the world in the form of a character witha popularFinal FantasyJob Class, eventually defeating Shadow Lord. Players can actually attain the Shadow Lord as a unit inBrave Exviusand, through his Super Trust Master reward, obtain theSagasinger.

Considered one of the most powerful weapons inFF11, Sagasinger is said to have an eerie aura associated with it. Wielding it grants players with not just ATK+188, but also HP+20% and MP+20%, boosting the survivability of more fragile melee DPS and drastically improving the defenses of a tank who decides to use this weapon.
6Atrithr
At some point in theBrave Exviusstory, players would learn that Rain and Lasswell’s father Raegen became the Veritas of the Dark, becoming a major antagonist for a part of the game’s first season. While having since rescinded the title, Raegen did not lose his combat prowess. In fact, through War Hero Raegen, players could see a form of Raegen working together with the all-powerful Odin who wields the Zantetsuken. Already a powerful unit in his own right, attaining Super Trust Master status with War Hero Raegen grants players his trusted blue sword, theAtrithr.
Said to be infused with Odin’s power, Atrithr can easily split iron. In addition to that, Arithr is said to possess Odin’s techniques, fit for a master swordsmanlike the Samurai ofFF14. Based on game stats, Atrithr has ATK+188 and boosts the user’s overall attack by 50-percent when dual wielding (Imbued with the Knight Rider’s Might). A melee DPS relying on dual wield weapons should grab Atrithr for the boosted offensive power.
5Hell Sabre
Aside from appearances of otherFinal Fantasycharacters,Brave Exviusalso became a stage for crossovers with other Square Enix franchises, such asDragon Quest. One such popular character making their way to the land of Lapis is Estark, the Lord of the Underworld, and his surprising availability as a companion in the game. Being a Physical Attacker akin to anFF14combat Job, it makes sense that his Super Trust Master Reward comes in the form of theHell Sabre, one of the most powerful dark-natured artifacts inDragon Quest.
InBrave Exvius, the Hell Sabre is said to have been forged out of darkness itself. The Hell Sabre boasts ATK+190, as well as 50-percent Physical Damage boosts against human creatures (Man-Eater). Not only that, players can use Shocking Slash to deal 30x Dark Physical Damage to enemies and decrease their Dark Resistance by 120-percent for three turns. Players aiming for a Dark-focused or multi-element build can certainly get their tank to use the Hell Sabre.
4Darkness Purging Blades Of Azure Crimson
While it’s true thatFinal Fantasycharacters from other games can become companions inBrave Exvius, the game’s main story has its fair share of appealing cast members. Such is the case of Raegen, who was a master swordsman and Grandshelt’s greatest knight until his disappearance. He was also the father of game protagonist Rain and adoptive parent of deuteragonist Lasswell. And upon acquisition, Reagen boasts a pair of blades built specifically to slay dragons. In the game, players can acquire said blades, calledDarkness Purging Blades of Azure Crimson, once achieving the Super Trust Master Rewards of Lasswell & Reagen.

And despite the rather grindy nature of attaining said weapon, possessing the dual blades makes for an impressive feat. Aside from its ATK+190, players also get to possess the Dragonslaying Blades effect, giving them a 25-percent Limit Break boost and 75-percent additional damage against dragons. Fans who plan on grindingBrave Exvius’s endgame might want to consider carrying these dual blades due to the abundance of dragons there.
3Dark Ragnarok++
Given howBrave Exviusis a love letter to the entireFinal Fantasyfranchise, it makes sense for some concepts in the game to serve as easter eggs from other titles. The “Chamber of Arms” feature is one such example, where players fight powerful bosses to attain powerful pieces of equipment, a la “Sealed Weapons” inFF5. Whereas Alpherg holds the key to the powerful Ragnarok blade, the twisted Dark Ramuh and his deathly lightning in “Dark Visions - The Advent of Chaos” is what lies between players andDark Ragnarok++.
Serving as the upgraded form of Dark Ragnarok, Dark Ragnarok ++ is said to force its users to succumb to darkness, only allowing those of incredible courage to wield it properly. Stats-wise, the sword gives a whopping ATK+286, alongside the ability to cast Dark Authority that deals 40x Physical Damage to enemies. Players who want a melee attacker with a nifty AOE akin toother OPFinal FantasyJobsmay want Dark Ragnarok++ to purge the battlefield quickly.
2Sleep Blade
An alternate take on theBrave Exviusformula comes in the form ofWar of the Visions, this time anotherFinal Fantasymobile game that has a tactical RPG spin instead of the classic turn-based formula. Similar toFFBE,WOTVhas its own story featuring a destructive war between four nations. However, between its captivating story and diverse cast are its slate of unique weapons, such as theSleep Blade.
Compared to other “special weapons,” the Sleep Blade is shaped more like a crescent sickle with a purple blade. This is acquired through various parts of the “WOTV - FFBE Equipment Enhancement Event.” The weapon is notable for its bonuses, such as HP+500, ATK+153, DEF+63, and MAG+90. However, its most interesting effect is 30-percent chance of Sleep, effectively making this capable of debilitating enemy defenses by rendering their strongest fighters unconscious. ABrave Exviushealer having this as an equipment can give them tremendous advantage to combat when cornered.
1Ultima Blade +4
It’s not aFinal Fantasyblade without a version ofthe Ultima Blade, and such is the case inFF15. In the game’s lore, theUltima Bladeis the ultimate version of Prince Noctis’s signature Engine Blade, capable of absorbing the powers of the elements with a potent engine as its core. The sword also makes its appearance inBrave Exvius, that of the signature weapon of Noctis’s character in the game. This is acquired through the “Chronicle Battle: Ifrit” event.
Its bonuses also make the Ultima Blade one of the best weapons in the mobile title. Aside from its ATK+234 and MP+100, it gives its users boosted Limit Break Damage (A Father’s Bond), as well as boosted static ATK and jump damage (Pinnacle of Lucian Technology+). These bonuses make the Ultima Blade the most ideal weapon for straightforward attackers.
Final Fantasy Brave Exviuswas released last October 2015 for iOS and Android.
