Launch pool plus one raid drop · 12 weapons
Anime Zero Weapons
Anime Zero has twelve weapons. Eleven come from the weapon summon: three Epic starters, two Legendary, four Mythic, the Arcane Cursed King and the Lyth-rarity Cataclysm. The twelfth, Paramita Pyre, never appears in the summon pool and only drops from the Spirited Away raid that Update 1 added.
Every weapon has an M1 attack chain, three skills on separate cooldowns and an ultimate that unlocks when you evolve it. You equip two at once, and the pair you pick decides your synergy bonus, so filter the table by rarity to see what you can realistically pull and who each weapon pairs with.

Rarities and summon odds
The weapon summon rolls a rarity first and then a weapon inside it. At launch, Epic rolled at 78.86%, Legendary at 16.82%, Mythic at 4.21%, Arcane at 0.11% and the top tier at 0.0001%. Each tier's share is split evenly across its weapons, which is why Twisted Agony and Kings Gambit sit at 8.41% apiece and each of the four Mythics at 1.05%.
The top tier was called Zenless when the game opened and was renamed Lyth in the 4 October balance patch. Cursed King is the only Arcane in the pool and Cataclysm the only summonable Lyth, so the Arcane guarantee effectively means Cursed King and the Lyth guarantee means Cataclysm. In practice a Mythic or better turns up roughly once every 23 summons, while a natural Cursed King takes about 900. Whatever the odds do, pity caps the wait: a Mythic or better within 175 spins, an Arcane within 350 and a Lyth within 3,500.
Synergy pairs
The 2 October performance update gave six weapon pairs a named bonus that applies while both sit in your two slots. Every other combination still earns a flat +5% damage, so no pairing is wasted, but the named ones are worth chasing once your second slot holds a Mythic or better.
| Pair | Common nickname | Bonus while both are equipped |
|---|---|---|
| Cursed King + Alucard | Sukuna + Alucard | +10% damage |
| Rubber Man + Shanks | Luffy + Shanks | +15% max health |
| Cosmic Warrior + Thunder Prodigy | Goku + Killua | -10% cooldowns |
| Twisted Agony + Kings Gambit | Juuzou + Nagumo | +20% ultimate charge |
| Guts + Lights of Divinity | Guts + Saber | +5% damage and +8% max health |
| Cataclysm + Lights of Divinity | Miyabi + Saber | +8% speed and -5% cooldowns |
| Any other two weapons | None | +5% damage |
Swapping weapons with T adds a separate +20% damage to the incoming weapon for 4 seconds, on top of whatever synergy the pair carries. Lights of Divinity is the only weapon with two named partners, which makes it the flexible second slot for both a Guts main and a Cataclysm main.

The 5 October Lyth buffs
The BIG PATCH on 5 October raised every hit on both Lyth weapons, Cataclysm and Paramita Pyre. Both also gained invincibility frames on their skills and M1 attacks, which is the main reason they top raid loadouts now. These are base damage numbers per hit, before traits, titles and synergy bonuses apply.
| Hit | Cataclysm before | Cataclysm after | Paramita Pyre before | Paramita Pyre after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 hit | 14 | 18 | 21 | 30 |
| M1 finisher | 56 | 75 | 48 | 60 |
| Skill 1 | 130 | 190 | 130 | 180 |
| Skill 2 | 80 | 120 | 80 | 100 |
| Skill 3 | 178 | 220 | 180 | 230 |
| Ultimate | 440 | 650 | 440 | 550 |
Cataclysm's ultimate gained 210 damage, the largest single jump in the patch, while Paramita Pyre's basic M1 hit rose by 43% from 21 to 30. No hit on either weapon was lowered. After the patch Paramita Pyre's skill 3 hits harder than Cataclysm's, 230 against 220, while Cataclysm keeps the bigger ultimate at 650.
Which weapons to keep
Community tier lists agree on the top: Cursed King, Cataclysm and Paramita Pyre sit in the meta tier, Guts in A, and Lights of Divinity and Alucard in B. Cursed King earns its spot through invincibility frames during its abilities, which turn raid mechanics into free damage windows. Guts hits hard and its awakened ultimate deletes early Infinite bosses, but its slow swings and the 16-second skill 2 cooldown leave gaps in raids.
Shanks has no community tier yet. The Legendaries rank C and the three Epic starters rank D to F, so treat them as placeholders. A sensible order is to replace both starting weapons with anything Legendary or higher, aim the 175-spin Mythic pity at a Guts or Lights of Divinity pair, and save lucky spins toward the 350-spin Arcane guarantee for Cursed King. Paramita Pyre needs no spins at all, only Nightmare raid clears.
