Valor Mortis weapons in combat

Valor Mortis weapons: pressure and openings

Official Valor Mortis weapons guidance describes scarce ammunition that can be replenished through kills, and weak-point shots that help generate Nephto. Blend melee, firearms and Transmutations instead of treating the gun as an unlimited primary weapon. The official “dual-wielding” description does not establish an arbitrary two-gun or two-sword equipment system.

Valor Mortis weapons upgrade planning

For Valor Mortis weapons upgrades, the published trophy route recommends saving a top-tier Transmutation material for Shield. The documented route lists two Quintessential Transmutation Materials and one Masterwork firearm material; that is the known route evidence, not a proof that no other copy can ever exist.
