Weapons

Every weapon in Allusions is an allusion — a reference to an anime, game, or show. From the Street Fighter-inspired Akuma to the RWBY Crescent Rose scythe, each weapon brings unique abilities and playstyles. Since loadouts are random each round, mastering multiple weapons is essential for consistent PvP performance.

Darksteel

Dark Souls

Strengths

Highest damage per M1 hit among all weapons. Each strike is devastating, rewarding patient and well-timed attacks over spam.

E: Stance Break — guard-breaking heavy attack

R: Dark Slash — delayed powerful swing

Pro Tips

•Patience is key — wait for opponents to whiff before attacking
•Stance Break can break blocks in Allusions 2
•Dark Slash has a long windup — use it to punish, never to initiate

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I learn one weapon or try them all?+

Since loadouts are random, you should learn the basics of every weapon. Focus on mastering 2-3 weapons first, then expand. The randomizer system means you cannot choose your weapon each round.

Do weapons have different attack speeds?+

Yes, each weapon has unique M1 attack speeds and combo timing. Heavy weapons like Darksteel swing slower but deal more damage per hit. Light weapons like Black Leg attack faster with less damage per strike.

Can I see what weapon I will get before a round?+

No, weapon assignments are random each round. However, during intermission you can see the upcoming map and plan your general strategy. In Allusions 2, Replication mode gives all players the same weapon.

What is the most important thing to learn about weapons?+

Understanding E and R ability timing is crucial. Every weapon has two abilities with different startup animations and hitboxes. Learning when to use each ability — and when to save them — separates good players from great ones.
