Best Weapon Combos Guide for Lies of P
Recommended Greatsword Combo (Motivity Build)
Greatsword of Fate Blade + Krat Police Baton Handle
The best greatsword weapon combo for Motivity builds (strength) is the Greatsword of Fate Blade + Krat Police Baton Handle which has a Motivity scaling of B. The blade grants this setup high attack power while the handle gives you access to a moveset consisting of vertical swings. This results in an armament that can dish out massive damage while generally being reliable to land hits on enemies.
This combo can also be assembled very early in the game and is highly recommended for beginners and new players going through the main story for the first time.
Despite being a greatsword combo, the vertical flash attacks you can throw out with the weapon are reasonably fast, making it a good weapon even against bosses. While it will struggle against fighting multiple enemies due to the absence of any horizontal (sweeping) attacks, you should be fighting most regular foes one-on-one anyway.
Required Blade and Handle
| Weapon Part | Part Type | How to Get |

| Greatsword of Fate Blade | Blade | Default weapon (Path of the Sweeper: Strength Combat Memory), can also be purchased from Wandering Merchant for 300 Ergo. |
| Krat Police Baton Handle | Handle | The Krat Police Baton (weapon and handle) is dropped by the Krat Police Puppet near the Stargazer inside the house on Elysion Boulevard. |

“A greatsword blade made by refashioning a soldier puppet’s weapon. Even when used as a bayonet, its unique bend keeps it from interfering with firing. Stalkers who have survived life-or-death situations can see the threads of prey. These threads are the sticky spiderwebs of obsession that they say are clearer the stronger the puppet is.” |

“Do not ever rob a police officer’s home. You won’t go to prison. It’s a one-way ticket to the sewers with a head smashed by a police baton.” – The advice of a retired petty thief |

Recommended Sword Combo (Quality Build)
Puppet’s Saber Blade + Fire Axe Handle
For quality builds (Motivity and Technique), the Puppet’s Saber Blade + Fire Axe Handle is a very good setup to use. The Puppet’s Saber blade boasts impressive reach and damage output for a fairly light weapon part. The Fire Axe Handle, meanwhile, has a C scaling for both Motivity (strength) and Technique (dexterity) while giving you a moveset that takes advantage of the blade’s range very well.
The light attack of this weapon combo comes out decently fast in a diagonal motion which synergizes with an evasive hit-and-run playstyle. You can even hit multiple enemies with how the blade travels as you throw out your attack.
The “Quality” build originates from FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls which is used to refer to a character type that focuses on both the strength and dexterity stat to benefit from their preferred weapon’s equal scaling in both attributes. Quality builds often have one of these stats to be higher than the other or be entirely equal (1:1) based on damage scaling soft caps and other factors for build optimization.

Recommended Sword Combo (Technique Build)
Bone-Cutting Sawblade + Dancer’s Curved Sword Handle
Builds that use Technique as the primary damage stat should go for the Bone-Cutting Sawblade + Dancer’s Curved Sword Handle setup. This weapon combo features high damage output (Bone-Cutting Sawblade) and a moveset with exceptional range and ease-of-use (Dancer’s Curved Sword Handle). You can also easily mow down enemies with its forward-lunging staggered attack that is very effective at mid range.
The Dancer’s Curved Sword Handle has B and C scaling for Technique and Motivity respectively which means that quality builds can also get good results wielding this assembly.
Required Blade and Handle
| Weapon Part | Part Type | How to Get |

Lies of P Best Technique Build
Recommended Advance Weapon Combo (Advance Build)
Salamander Dagger Blade + Acid Crystal Spear Handle
One of the best weapon combos for Advance builds is the Salamander Dagger Blade + Acid Crystal Blade Handle. This elemental damage setup is able to inflict impressive amounts of fire damage quickly on enemies that are vulnerable to the fire attribute. The handle also gives you access to the Single Stab Fable Art which affords this weapon combo good range despite being a dagger class armament.
Acid Crystal Blade Handle has a stat scaling of A for Advance and D for both Motivity and Technique, essentially making this a solid choice for “true” Advance builds. Feel free to swap blade parts with other elemental attributes depending on the enemies you encounter throughout the game’s story chapters.
Required Blade and Handle
| Weapon Part | Part Type | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Salamander Dagger Blade | Blade | The Salamander Dagger (blade and handle) is found at Workshop Union Entrance by going up the stairs from the Stargazer and jumping down the hole. Note that the weapon is guarded by two Blank Puppets. |
| Acid Crystal Blade Handle | Handle | The Acidic Crystal Spear (blade and handle) is found in a chest in the Path of the Pilgrim. |

The alchemists have long amassed knowledge through their numerous experiments and research. Some of these experiments were twisted and inhumane.” |
||
Electric Coil Stick Head + Electric Coil Stick Handle
The default assembly of the Electric Coil Stick is another good attribute-based weapon combo to use for builds that focus on high levels of Advance. This setup particularly shines during the early game stages because of its respectable lightning damage output using its Generate Fable Art (Electric Coil Stick Head). The Electric Blitz shock inflicted on enemies using this weapon is useful for reliably stacking physical/stagger damage, especially against foes that are weak to the element.
The Electric Coil Stick Handle, meanwhile, grants you a B, D, and C scaling in Advance, Technique, and Motivity respectively. Its good Motivity scaling means that you can get more out of this weapon by putting some points into the stat as well.
The entire Electric Coil Stick assembly is obtained fairly early in the main story, making it an early go-to for players who want to go for Advance builds.
Required Blade and Handle
| Weapon Part | Part Type | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Coil Stick Head | Blade | Can be purchased from the Wandering Merchant at Elysion Boulevard from Chapter 2 onwards. |
