NieR Replicant Weapons Guide: How to get and Upgrade all Weapons
Selecting the right tool
In Nier Replicant , Enemies and Weapons are diverse, and is there is no "one size fits all" solution. Different Enemies are vulnerable to different classes of Weapons, Sealed Verses, and Status Effects.
Weapons come in three classes: one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and spears. Different classes of Weapons come in varying ratios of stats, respectively
- Attack : The base damage of the Weapon's basic attacks
- Magic power: The percentage of damage increased when using Sealed Verses while wielding the Weapon
- Weight: Directly dictates the speed of the Protagonist's attacks when using the Weapon
Each of the above attribute vary in effectiveness against different Enemies, which play an even more important role when fighting Bosses.
For the first part of the game, the Protagonist will only have access to One-handed Swords. As the story progresses into part 2, Two-handed Swords and Spears will be introduced. Therefore, the choice of Weapons are also limited by the availability corresponding to the story's timeline.
Combos and Auras
Auto-attacking enemies in melee by equipping Weapons is seemingly the most basic form of Combat in Nier... . However, unbeknownst to many players, weapons can also perform combos - special attacks produced by specific sequences of controls. Although the controls for combos are the same across different classes of weapons, their special attacks produce varying effects.
The main combos include (but are not limited to): ground special attack, airborne/jump attack, dodge attack, counter attack (guard), and charge attack.
In the original NieR Replicant for PS3 another attribute regarding weapons is their aura - their element when performing the charge attack. Each weapon can belong to one of five auras: Fire, Lightning, Holy, Darkness, and Earth. While all spears produce lightning auras, individual One-handed Swords and Two-handed Swords belong to different auras. This is removed in Replicant ver1.22.

I can't remember that the "Fool's" Weapons are DLC only. you can enter the World of Recycled Wessel after a few endings. Its the diary which is in the protagonists Home (maybe it was an DLC part in the original but not im remaster).
And the strongest weapon is missing which you can geht after you achieved Ending E.
