Legendary weapons guide — set bonus, every weapon, who should build it

Six weapons that only exist at Tier IV, each one a run on its own; the set bonus is a Max HP penalty. 6 weapons carry the Legendary tag; the set bonus below applies for every Legendary weapon you hold at once, duplicates included.

Set bonus

Weapons held	Bonus
2	-20 Max HP
3	-40 Max HP
4	-60 Max HP
5	-80 Max HP
6	-100 Max HP

How a Legendary build plays

Legendary weapons cannot be bought at low tiers; they appear rarely in late shops and arrive at Tier IV with absurd numbers — Excalibur does 200 damage every 0.66 seconds, Scythe 150, Gatling Laser fires every 0.07 seconds. Each belongs to a real class too (Excalibur is Blade, Chain Gun is Gun), so one Legendary slots into an existing set without breaking it. The set bonus is minus 20 Max HP per weapon beyond the first, which is why holding more than two is a trap.

Every Legendary weapon

Numbers are the lowest tier the weapon exists at; open a weapon for all four tiers and its scaling.

Weapon	Tiers	Damage	Cooldown	DPS	Crit	Range	Also
Excalibur	4	200	0.66s	266.6	10%	200	Blade
Scythe	4	150	0.72s	208.3	3%	250	Ethereal
Gatling Laser	4	10	0.073s	137	10%	500	Heavy
Chain Gun	4	2	0.073s	82.2	3%	500	Gun
DEX-troyer	4	100	1.33s	75.3	–	400	Explosive
Drill	4	10	0.45s	22.2	50%	100	Precise

The core of a six-of set is usually Excalibur, Scythe, Gatling Laser, Chain Gun; the rest fill in as the shop offers them.

Characters that fit the class

No character leans on Legendary specifically; it works as a secondary set on anyone whose weapons already carry the tag.

Overlapping classes

Legendary weapons also count as Blade, Ethereal, Heavy, Gun, Explosive, Precise, so a Legendary rack can trigger a second set bonus without an extra slot. The weapons list filters by class.

The mistake that ends runs

Collecting Legendaries. Two is the sensible limit; six costs 100 Max HP.
