I Cataloged Every Weapon in Arms of God — Here's What the Game Doesn't Tell You

Arms of God has 47 weapons across 6 classes. The in-game Codex tells you the name and a one-sentence description. No stats, no scaling info, no blessing interaction data. After logging 200+ runs and tracking clear rates, I built a reference site to fill in what the game left out.

The real weapon meta

Dual Blades clear 34% more consistently than any other class in the current patch. Not because of DPS — it's because their dash i-frames are twice as long as the tooltip says. The Scythe hits harder on paper, but its 18-frame wind-up animation gets you killed on floor 7+.

The hidden stat that matters most: attack speed scaling. Thunder blessing says "chain lightning on hit" — but the chain scales with base attack speed, not modified. Fast weapons get full value. Hammers get almost none.

Blessing combos that actually work

Frost + fast weapon = freeze-lock bosses in ~3 seconds. Frost slow stacks per hit, not per damage. Swap to Flame blessing and you get bonus damage from the temperature shock — the game treats it as a separate damage tick.

Most blessing descriptions are incomplete. Some explicitly conflict without telling you. The build planner at armsofgodgame.com flags conflicts and shows which blessings actually stack.
