Apart from looking super cool, this extremely malleable weapon can be super effective when dealing with a large enemy due to its improved critical damage and the ability to stun and knock enemies out for a brief period, giving you time to finish them off with ease.
This weapon also has the unique ability to transform a player’s punishing downpour, so it deals thunder damage.
6: Rat Sage Staff

This unique staff also generates extra chances for an improved critical hit that can also summon a whirlwind following a light attack combo and using the mobile staff spin ability on the fourth move.
This will summon a whirlwind of sand, which can be used to deflect a large number of enemies. For players who love challenging combos, this weapon is well suited for their playstyle.
5: Chu-Bai Spear

Chu-Bai Spear is the most versatile and fastest weapon in the game and inflicts huge amounts of thrust attack damage. Due to its spear-like characteristics, it can be used quickly for light attack combos, giving your opponent little time to react and retaliate.
It also has a good range and versatility, which, when used together with speed, can be really helpful .
4: Visionary Centipede

This is a great tool if survivability is your main focus and you rely on spells and their effects to progress in the game.
This weapon can also be used to inflict heavy attack damage; however, what is unique to this staff is its ability to regain health each time you perform a successful charged attack and if the enemy is poisoned, then the health recovery rate increases. Most of these weapons draw inspirations from the Chinese epic Journey to the West but with a distinct style of their own.
3: Staff of Blazing Karma

The Staff of Blazing Karma is one of the most powerful weapons to use if you are fighting multiple enemies at the same time. Apart from looking super cool, the weapon also possesses a lot of power.
The weapon is optimally utilized in the smash stance, and after a series of successful heavy attack combos, it leaves a pool of lava behind that can inflict great damage on the enemies, leaving them vulnerable.
2: Loongwreath Staff

For the more defensive players out there, look out to compliment the more defensive stances in the game.
This staff is most useful when combined with the pillar stance, which allows you to climb up your staff and dodge all the low attacks from your enemies. This staff can also increase damage and boost attacks when in the pillar stance.
1: Jingubang

Players who rely on a spell-based playstyle need to look out for this staff, which compliments that style of gameplay.
Jingubang deals insane damage and it also gets a critical rate boost when it is combined with a spell. Upon every successful critical attack inflicted on the enemy, all spell cooldowns are also significantly reduced.
