[[Excalibur]], [[Mag]], and [[Volt]] all are good starters and I would encourage you to pick the one you think is coolest, though overall [[Mag]] is the strongest to start. We also make a choice of melee weapon which should always be the Bo as it is by far the strongest weapon new players will have access to for a number of hours though it is easily accessible if you don't choose it here. For the rest of the weapon choices pick what you think you'll like but I prefer picking the Lato as my secondary and the Paris as my primary. Leads to [[Critical Progression Route]]
