Choosing Your Weapon

At the start of Mina the Hollower, Mina chooses one of three starter weapons: Nightstar, Whisper & Vesper, or the Blaststrike Maul. Yacht Club Games has also confirmed two additional weapons found later: Guardian Casket and Battery Buster.

Starter picks

Weapon	Range	Tempo	Best for
Nightstar	Mid	Balanced	New players, spacing, four-direction attacks
Whisper & Vesper	Close	Fast	Aggressive hit-and-run play
Blaststrike Maul	Short	Slow	Charged hits, high damage, patient timing

Later weapons

Guardian Casket adds a shield style: blocking, bashing, perfect parries, and shield tosses. Battery Buster adds a ranged-melee loop where projectile shots spend energy and melee attacks recharge it.

Recommendation

Choose Nightstar first if you want the most readable baseline. Choose Whisper & Vesper if you prefer constant pressure. Choose Blaststrike Maul if you like committing to big openings. Treat the later weapons as build changers once you understand Mina’s core movement and Hollowing.
