In Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, choosing the right weapon is a quintessential part of the game. Players can choose between 1 of 3 weapons for each character, each weapon providing different pros and cons. However, for some characters like Meliodas, there is a clear winner in which weapon to use to maximize their DPS potential. Here is your guide to choosing the best free SSR weapon in the event.
How to Claim SSR Weapon Selection Chest
Weapons in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin have rarities that often dictate their performance and heavily impact characters' DPS. Currently, an event is running where players can claim a free crafted SSR Weapon. This selection chest makes choosing the right weapon essential to maximizing Combat Class and advancing through World Tiers.
All players need to do to claim this is complete Challenge Missions II in the Events tab by reaching a Combat Class of 35,000. Other than the amazing armor granted by the event (SR and SSR), once all milestones are complete, players can choose any weapon from the Black Flame Wings set.
Black Flame Wings Passive
Black Flame Energy: Activating a Burst increases Attack by 28% and Crit Chance by 6% for 10 sec.
Best Picks in the Black Flame Wings Set
| Best Picks | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| Best Overall Choice | Black Flame Wings Dual Swords | The best overall choice. Mainly because the best DPS characters in the game use them. The weapon set grants bonus crit damage, making it the best in slot weapon for Meliodas and Jericho. Other than the 2 best DPS characters in the game using Dual Swords, characters like Tristan and Manny can also use Dual Swords. |
| Secondary Choice for Versatility | Black Flame Wings Axe | The next-best choice would be the Black Flame Wings Axe because of its wide range of options. Meliodas, Diane, Bug, and a possibly upcoming character (Escanor) can use the axe to deal massive amounts of damage. Considering that Diane is often considered S-tier and Meliodas is literally the best character in the game, choosing the axe is not a bad option. |
| Support Pick | Black Flame Wings Staff/Wand | A rather controversial choice would be to choose between the staff and the wand. These two weapons have a wide range of characters that can use them. The first that comes to mind is King and Elaine; both are amazing choices for support and would greatly benefit from using an SSR weapon. However, it should be said that the Black Flame Wings set is generally not made for supports. It's only recommended to pick either the staff or the wand if you have completed your main DPS build. |
Final Verdict: Which SSR Weapon Should You Pick
The best pick is the Dual Swords if your main DPS uses this weapon type. The weapon set greatly benefits DPS characters thanks to the bonus damage and crit chance. For players who don't have a Dual Sword DPS, the Axe is the second-best choice. Most Axe users deal burst damage and can still provide passive bonuses to Meliodas. While multiple characters use the wand and staff, the weapon set does not really benefit them. It would be considered wasteful to pick a DPS weapon set for a support character. Overall, the best choice is a weapon you enjoy using on your favorite character. Sticking to the meta is great, but if it comes at the cost of enjoyment, then it makes the game feel like a slog to get through.
