Essence Weapon List

How to Use the Essence Weapon List

The table above lists all 65 weapons, 43 at 6-star and 22 at 5-star, with the three stats their ideal essence needs. Start with the search bar: type a weapon name or a signature operator's name and the table narrows to matching rows. The counter under the table shows how many weapons are visible out of the full list, so you always know how much a filter has cut.

The filter rows stack together. Pick a weapon type (Sword, Greatsword, Polearm, Handcannon, or Arts Unit), a rarity, a skill, and a farming location, and the table shows only weapons that match all of them. Click the Rarity, Weapon, Type, Main Stat, or Skill column headers to sort, and click again to flip the order. Set everything back to All to see the full list again.

The Owned and Desired checkboxes turn the list into a tracker. Tick Owned when you already hold a perfect essence for a weapon, and tick Desired for the weapons you are building toward. Your ticks save automatically in your browser, so they will be there next visit on the same device. The bulk buttons mark every visible row at once, which is handy after filtering down to one weapon type.

What Essences Are and Why the Match Matters

Once you know how to filter the list, the next question is what you are looking for. An essence is the modifier you equip on a weapon, and each weapon has three stat slots: an attribute, a combat stat, and a skill. An essence only boosts the stats that match those slots. Per the site's essence usage guide, unmatched stats contribute nothing, so a mismatched top-rarity essence can lose to a lower-rarity one that matches.

That is the whole reason this list exists. Every weapon wants one specific combination, and farming without knowing it wastes runs. The pool is also wide: the essences guide counts 5 attribute stats, 12 combat stats, and 14 skills. Checking this table before you farm tells you which of those combinations to keep and which to break down.

The goal is a perfect essence, meaning all three stats line up with the weapon. Two out of three still helps, but the third slot sits idle until you replace it. For your main damage dealer, a three-stat match is worth chasing first. The essence usage guide's endgame checklist starts Etching on the main DPS essence and moves to supports only after that.

Reading Each Column

The Main Stat column shows the attribute the weapon wants: Agi (Agility), Str (Strength), Will, Int (Intellect), or Main, which means the wielder's main attribute. Main-attribute weapons are the most flexible, since the same essence works for whichever operator holds them. The other four lock you to operators who scale on that attribute.

The Skill column shows the combat stat and the skill together, such as Attack / Combative. The badge color marks the skill's category: red for Physical skills (Assault, Suppression, Pursuit, Crusher, Combative, Brutality), blue for Arts skills (Infliction, Detonate, Twilight), and purple for Universal skills (Inspiring, Flow, Medicant, Fracture, Efficacy). The skill filter matches the skill half of that pair, so filtering on Combative finds every weapon that wants it regardless of combat stat.

Locations lists where the source data says that combination can be farmed, and Notes explains where the weapon comes from. Of the weapons listed, 32 are marked as an operator's signature and 11 come from a Protocol Pass season. Those notes also feed the search bar, which is why typing an operator's name finds their signature weapon.

Turning the List Into a Farming Plan

With your Desired weapons ticked, filter by one location at a time. The location that shows the most Desired weapons is usually the best place to spend your runs, because every essence it drops has more chances to be useful. The essence farming tool automates this step by ranking dungeons against the weapons you want.

When a matching essence drops, lock it immediately so it cannot be broken down by accident. Mismatched essences are not wasted either: they become Etching material. Etching is exclusive to Flawless (5-star) essences and consumes another Flawless essence to attempt a stat upgrade, as the essence usage guide explains. Before you break down a Universal-skill essence, check the Skill filter to see how many weapons on your list still want it.

Finally, do not overlook the 5-star weapons in this list. Some perform as well as or better than 6-star alternatives, and they are easier to max on potentials. If you are unsure which weapon to build first, the weapon recommender and the weapon tier list can narrow the choice, then come back here for the essence that weapon needs.
