DB's perfered weapons order (best to worst = top to bottom):
  • Snake
  • Nemesis
  • S. Missiles
  • Bubbler
  • Missiles
  • Fireball
  • Blade
  • Polar Star
  • Spur

I detest the Spur.
I hate having to wait that ~4 seconds for it to charge to do maybe 100 damage to a big boss when in the same time I can Nemesis or Snake pound the guy for ~120 and still have my ass covered.

I love the Snake because it really proves itself in Hell, triggering Deleets well before I get to them, and picking off those stupid Bute archers...
Over all it saves me a couple minutes.

With regards to the Blade, I ranked it there simply because the whole "Lvl 3 auto-max" gets annoying when that poke for 2 damage de-levels your weapon...
It lacks toughness and range of a Lvl 3 S. Missile barrage...
And it takes FOREVER to get to Lvl 3.

...

SUPER MISSILE BLITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111ELEVENTY-ONE-HUNDRED-ONEPOINTTWO111
Take that Ballos.
...

Now if someone modded/hacked the Spur to charge in a second and go through walls, then I *might* use it.

EDIT: On my best timed (Full HP + Min. Weapon (Snake)) Run I just sat on the spikes of Ballos's last form and cranked him with both my Snake and Curly's Nemesis for a defeat in about 13 seconds. (If you aim UP, both shots go up, as long as you're standing.)

If I'd used the Spur it've taken a lot longer because I'm losing the signifigant damage from Curly and the time wasted to charge.

ICK. I meant to vote Snake but accidentally voted Fireball.

So yeah, Snake is my favorite with the blade and spur closely behind it. :D

I hope most people voted for Blade not because they want be all Neenja Styre-u!, but because it's actually "useful"

I no like Blade.
I always vote Snake.
Good damage, high range, penetration, wall penetration, easy leveling...
Plus the shot strafes within a defined area (unlike the Bubbler, and more predictable than the MG) so can handle large enemy groups.

Plus it's got great sound.
*Tries and fails to make the "whumph-wumph-wumph" of the Snake*

Plus I can say "I'm playing with my Snake~"

Ooo!

It moves like that.

Plus there seems to be no real limit on shots per screen.

Bumpimg because of the good source of potential Rule 34 weapon pairings. Also to vote for my favorite weapon: Spur.

I really do like Polar Star. Can't tell exactly why, probably because of its straightforwardness, but that's why I absolutely love Spur. Spur is basically delevel-proof lv.3 Polar Star, with the nice bonus of firing charged beams.

My no. 2 is Machine Gun. Flying. 'Nuff said.

And on the third place is Bubbler. The bubble shield is just too good to be sniffed at. Only it's a pity that it deals so little damage.

Definitely Snake because it's extremely fun and interesting. It can go through walls, an it's awesome. Really fun, and really interesting. The blade's al;so nice, since it's a godsend in the Labyrinth, but the Snake is more useful overall and more fun. Also, it can fire really fast, making intense damage easy to make.

When I first saw this topic when I first joined I didn't really have a decision.

Now I do. It's the blade. Definitely.
