Quick Answer: What Weapon Classes Exist?
The Armoury sorts weapons into seven distinct categories. Three are officially named so far โ short-range swords, long-range spears, and melee gauntlets โ with the remaining four being charted in post-launch playthroughs. Mix and match what exploration yields: the game is explicitly built for combining discoveries into your own playstyle.

| Gauntlets | Melee | Aggressive point-blank burst |
| 4 more classes | Being verified | Full Armoury list pending playthroughs |
The Vampire Killer Comes First
Before any Armoury pick, mastery of Rose's whip is the true weapon system: crack it to swing and traverse like a trapeze artist, pounce on prey like a wolf, and open dodge angles no roll reaches. Weapon classes extend that kit; they do not replace it.
