Start with handedness and speed
A one-handed Weapon can leave different loadout options than a two-handed Weapon. Speed changes turn planning, so compare it before raw-looking attack text.
Forgotten Stories Weapons & Best-Use Guide
The current Weapons list contains 20 named records plus four category cards. Compare one- or two-handed use, speed, attacks, Energy, status effects, and obtainment before calling any Weapon the best for your run.

Use the data
How to find the best Forgotten Stories Weapon for a fight
The useful comparison is situational. Read the fields that change your turn options and match them to the enemy and build in front of you.
Compare attacks and Energy
Check each named attack, its Energy cost, cooldown, critical effect, and any status it applies. A powerful move you cannot afford is not automatically the best choice.
Prepare for the target
Open the Boss record for resistances and dangerous attacks, then choose a damage type and moveset that fit that encounter instead of one global tier.

Where this directory comes from: names and linked fields were checked against the public Forgotten Stories Trello on September 5, 2026. A public card can describe planned or work-in-progress data; it does not prove every field is implemented in the current Roblox build.
