Quick Answer: Which Weapon Is Best?
The Silver Sword is your primary weapon and works in all situations. Upgrade it at every blacksmith you find. Vampire claws are available at night and scale with Vampirism investment. The best weapon depends on your build — Swordmastery users prefer the sword, while Witchcraft builds may favor claws for night combat.
