Couldn't find any threads stating what's the best. Well, what is?
What is the best weapon series for PVP?
Anything that can reliably deal status effects is always effective in PvP. Other than that there's just some general rules to follow:
Slow, high damage weapons are deadly, but if the opponent hits you with a faster weapon they can interrupt your attacks so you might never get a hit in!
Faster weapons lose a lot of their potential DPS because knights, unlike monsters, become immune to damage for a split second after each attack. You'll notice this the most if you try something like an autogun or a cutter; you'll hit the enemy with a lot of attacks but he'll only actually take damage from every other-or-so one after the first. Of course, if this prevents him from attacking you in return, then you'll have the upper hand.
try using a weapon that you know most people wont have resist against and some status effects imo i might use freezing or fire or stun
pierce blades are always nice and fast to use,very effective when i play
Tier 3:

Teir 1:

Tier 1:
Best sword - probably static edge.
Best Gun - lol no
Tier 3:
Best sword: Barbarous thorn blade by far. GF distant second.
Best Bomb: Shivermist
Best Gun: Polaris maybe? Dunno really.
Best swords: bolted blade, static edge, hot edge, heavy hatchet, thwack hammer
Best gun: pummel gun (just don't miss!)
Best bombs: cold snap, firecracker, static bomb (starter pack bomb)
I would suggest static edge! (or shocking edge? The 1* version)
