Weapons
Queen's Domain weapons guide: 50+ melee weapons, 20+ throwing weapon types, upgrades, evolution and the Holy Sword Endu flight upgrades.
Introduction
The weapon system in Queen's Domain is large by design and deliberately under-documented. The developer lists more than fifty melee weapons, over twenty types of secondary throwing weapon, an upgrade path and a weapon evolution system that appeared in the release patch notes. What the developer has not published is any individual weapon name, stat line or drop location, so this page explains how the arsenal is structured and how to evaluate a new weapon yourself instead of pretending to know a tier list that cannot exist yet. The practical result is that your own testing is the best available tier list, and the advice below focuses on how to test efficiently rather than on which weapon to worship.
Confirmed Weapon Categories
| Category | Scale | What Is Confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Melee weapons | 50+ | Each has its own moves and a weapon-specific special attack |
| Throwing weapons | 20+ types | Secondary slot used without swapping your melee weapon |
| Upgrades | Per weapon | Weapons can be upgraded, including Holy Sword flight upgrades |
| Evolution | System | Weapons can evolve; a launch patch fixed an evolution freeze |

Core Mechanics
The confirmed structure is straightforward. You find melee weapons, equip one, and use its normal attacks, its charge attack and its unique special. A secondary throwing weapon sits in an off-hand slot and gives you a ranged option without a full swap. Upgrades improve a weapon you already own, and evolution changes it further, with the release patch fixing a freeze that could occur during evolution. The Holy Sword is a special case because it doubles as a traversal tool: its upgrades extend flight distance, which makes it both a weapon investment and a mobility investment. No official numbers exist for damage, scaling or upgrade cost.
Advantages
A wide arsenal with per-weapon specials means the game rewards curiosity rather than a single meta pick. When every melee weapon carries its own special attack, trying a new drop is a real change in options, not a small stat bump. The evolution system also gives you a reason to keep using a weapon you like instead of replacing it the moment something shinier appears. And because the Holy Sword upgrades improve both combat and traversal, investing in it is never wasted. For players who like experimenting, this is the most generous part of the design. Because the developer keeps adding fixes, a weapon that feels awkward at launch may improve after a patch, so revisit favourites instead of writing them off permanently.
Challenges
Without published names or stats, weapon advice is inherently shallow. This wiki cannot tell you which of the fifty-plus melee weapons has the best damage, because the developer has not disclosed any of them, and any site that lists them is either data-mining or inventing. Upgrade costs and evolution requirements are equally undocumented. The practical downside for players is that comparing two weapons means testing them yourself, which takes time, and the release-window freeze bug around evolution is a reminder that new systems can still need patches. For now, the most useful thing this page can do is teach you how to evaluate a weapon in a minute of play, which is exactly what the cards below focus on.

Quick Tips
Judge a new weapon by its special, not by its damage number. Because every melee weapon carries a distinct special attack, the interesting question is what the special lets you do that your current weapon cannot. A weapon with lower raw output but a special that solves a specific enemy may be the better pick, and the only way to know is to take it into a fight you already understand.
Do not dismantle or discard a weapon just because it feels weak at base. Upgrades and evolution are confirmed systems, and the release patch specifically fixed a freeze tied to evolution. A weapon that starts poorly may be the one that changes later. Keep one or two favourites and invest in them rather than spreading every resource across the whole arsenal.
Upgrade the Holy Sword whenever exploration stalls. Its flight distance grows with upgrades, which turns blocked gaps into open routes. Treat a failed jump as a shopping list entry rather than a dead end, and remember that the sword is the only confirmed item in the game that improves both how you fight and where you can go.
