Witchspire Weapons — Best Picks & All 14
Witchspire has three weapon categories — Wand (ranged), Spell Blade (melee) and Tome (a dev-confirmed third type) — with 14 weapons documented in Early Access. The strongest early picks are Stellar Burst (best wand) and Arcflare Coil (best spell blade), both unlocked through the Luminaries tree. No numeric damage values are published yet, so "best" is about role and unlock path, not raw numbers.
- Stellar Burst (Wand · Astral) — the strongest ranged pick; a Luminaries unlock that meaningfully boosts magical combat. Best all-round choice.
- Arcflare Coil (Spell Blade) — the melee answer for players who fight up close, also from the Luminaries tree.
- Stick with your coven's starter weapon until you can unlock one of these two.
All 14 weapons
Sortable by type, element, coven and tier. The six "Apprentice" entries are the coven starting weapons chosen at character creation; Stellar Burst and Arcflare Coil are Luminaries unlocks; the rest are mid-to-late craft/loot weapons.

Two things to know before you optimise: no numeric damage or DPS values are published for any individual weapon in Early Access, so any "X hits harder than Y" claim elsewhere is invented. And per Eurogamer/vpesports, a weapon's elemental affinity is currently cosmetic — element-based passive bonuses are announced for 1.0 but not yet active. Pick weapons by role (ranged vs melee) and unlock path, not by element math.
