When the threat of the Vanir ice giants strike fear in the hearts of the Aesir in the afterlife, Lenneth Valkyrie is reawakened to recruit souls worthy of the army of the beyond. Her journey takes place throughoutValkyrie Profile: Lenneth, wherein Lenneth has to recruit and fight alongside various warriors to prove their worth to fight the ice giants. Players eager to get their hands in 2022’sValkyrie Elysiumto see how Valkyrie Nora stops Ragnarok might want to play through Lenneth’s story first.
Lennethplayersdon’t have to worry, as their characters wouldn’t just stay with the mediocre Midgar equipment they possessed prior to their death. Rather, these warriors’ journeys with Lenneth eventually allow them access to some of the most powerful weapons that exist in the world — an approach that may appear inValkyrie Elysiumas well. WhichValkyrie Profile: Lennethweapons are must-haves in the player’s arsenal?
10Demon Sword “Levantine” (Sword)
Despite being labeled as a Demon Sword, theDemon Sword “Levantine”inValkyrie Profileholds quite a bit of lore similar to its ancient weapon counterparts. Retrieved after killing the dragon Bloodbane, the Levantine serves as part of the Four Treasures that maintain the stability of Niflheim.

The Levantine’s 2,000 ATK and 300 HIT makes it a reliable weapon at the hands of a capable fighter. Not only that, but the weapon’s ATK gets a 1% boost for every percentage the user loses in DME. Theoretically, a user at half DME will have a Levantine boasting 3,300 ATK.
9Soul Sword “Kusanagi” (Yamato Sword)
DespiteLenneth’s rather western themecompared to other JRPGs, the game does feature the Samurai class in the form of Jun and Suo. Wielding the Yamato Sword, they rely on swiftness and mobility to dish out mean damage to enemies. Among these weapons, theSoul Sword “Kusanagi”is perhaps the best of the bunch.
Boasting 2,990 ATK and 200 HIT, players who love the fast-paced nature of the Samurai Class can secure heavy damage with these weapons. The Kusanagi is also strong against Holy opponents, meaning it can practically instant-kill them upon hit.
8Ethereal Divide (Spear)
With only Aelia and Lawfer serving as Lancers, it makes sense for players to have a rather limited arsenal of their Spear weapons. However, the Lancers inLennethare known for their fast-paced mid-ranged specialization. It’s this specialty that makesEthereal Dividesuch a reliable Spear.
Boasting 3,300 ATK and 350 HIT, the Ethereal Divide is a decent choice for a weapon that can reach distant opponents. And while it doesn’t have any particular special statistics, it does boast the highest ATK ratings among Spears in the game, making this a must-have for Lancer mains.
7Razor Shaft (Bow)
Despite Lenneth being a sword-touting Valkyrie, she’s very well capable of wielding other weapons intheValkyrie ProfileJRPG. When she picks up the trusty Bow, she’s capable wielding theRazor Shaft, considered the most potent Bow in the game. With the Razor Shaft, Lenneth is one of the most consistently-performing characters in any team.

Boasting 3,000 ATK and 300 HIT, this is by far the most consistent bow for long-ranged specialists. And while it doesn’t have any special properties unlike other weapons, Razor Shaft has the best stats that can facilitate consistent performance for Archers in theValkyrie Profiletitle.
6Mystic Sage (Wand)
Aside from having animated special attacks like in other JRPGs, some attacksfrom characters inLennethare considered Great Magic. When prompted, they trigger a special VFX that showcases a more powerful variant of the attack. Among the Wands in the game that can do this,Mystic Sageis the most powerful.
Boasting 8,500 ATK and 0 Converted MP, the Mystic Sage is second only to the Holy Wand of Telos in terms of sheer firepower. Its only caveat is its access to the Great Magic, as this essentially replaces a triple-spellcast with a special FMV. However, if this Great Magic doesn’t finish the enemy off and leads into their next turn, the weapon does have a chance of breaking.
5Glance Reviver (Sword)
Sometimes, the best weapon in a JRPG is one with nifty lifesteal components. These can spell the difference between life and death for melee fighters. In the case of theGlance Reviver, this is definitely the case. Considered the third-most powerful Sword in the game, the Glance Reviver boasts 6,000 ATK and 300 HIT, making this a decent weapon in the hands of a fast-paced fighter. It can help players scorea decent rank in theValkyrie Profilegame’s missions.
However, Glance Reviver shines in its effects. In addition to being able to instantly kill Dark foes, it has an additional 8% chance of killing any non-boss enemy in an instant. If this effect is triggered, the user will be healed the equivalent of said enemy’s Max HP.
4Dainslef (Sword)
Lenneth’sDainslefis proof that powerful weapons are more interesting if they have their own lore as well. Described as literally meaning “god-slayer,” it relies on power opposite its nature. The Dainslef is only acquired through the Seraphic Gate. This is either dropped by Hamsters, or is locked behind a treasure that requires Flame Jewels to open.

Either way, the Dainslef is considered the second-most powerful Sword in the game. It has 8,000 ATK and 300 HIT, giving it decent stats for the quick-footed melee attacker. Not only that, aside from facilitating Lenneth’s Level 3 Nibelung Valesti, Dainslef will instantly kill any opponent weak to Holy, as the Dainslef has this element.
3Holy Wand Of Telos (Magic Wand)
Mages and other spellcasters are a rarity in any JRPG, and they must be handled carefully due to their nature as glass cannons. In the case ofLenneth, having any mage wield theHoly Wand of Telostransforms them into a powerhouse.
The most powerful Magic Wand in the game, the Holy Wand of Telos boasts 9,920 ATK and 20,000 Converted MP, making this a ridiculously powerful Wand on the onset. When used properly, Telos can augment magical attacks to become devastating battlefield cleansers. It’s perfect for more strategic takes in combat similar toother tactical RPGs.
2Demon Sword “Nefarious” (Greatsword)
With the Seraphic Gate containing some of the most difficult dungeons and levels in the JRPG, it makes sense for one of its most powerful weapons to be locked within it as well. The fabledDemon Sword “Nefarious,”arguably the most powerful Greatsword in the game, can be found in its levels, either as treasure or drops after defeating Carnage Beasts.
The Nefarious boasts 13,000 ATK and 300 HIT. These are decent stats for heavy-hitting Greatsword-wielders, especiallyin JRPG teamsthat need tanks. Not only that, its Death Element means the Nefarious may be able to instantly kill all enemies weak to this element.
1Angel Slayer (Sword)
It’s not uncommon for JRPGs to have their versions of ultimate weapons, and theAngel Slayeris an appropriate name for the most powerful weapon inLenneth. Obtained only after defeating the Iseria Queen for the tenth time, this Sword serves as a reward for clearing the most difficult stage of the Seraphic Gate, especially withwell-organized JRPG teams.
Boasting 20,000 ATK and 700 HIT, the Angel Slayer is easily capable of beating most monsters in the game. When equipped with Lenneth, this weapon allows her to access the Level 3 version of her Nibelung Valesti attack. However, it does only have Attack Trust 1, making it rather unreliable unless its user is built properly.
Valkyrie Elysiumwas released on June 15, 2025 for the PS4 and PS5 and will get a PC release on July 15, 2025.
