Lies of Phas plenty of unique qualities; however, the feature that helps this game stand out the most is the blade and handle customization system. In Lies of P, you are given the option to customize the handle and blade combination of almost any weapon, with the exception of a few special weapons.

However, with the rightcombination of handles and blade, the standard weapons can exceed the quality of the special weapons, and they are often available much earlier, so what are some of the best blade and handle combinations in Lies of P?
8Wintry Rapier Blade And Salamander Dagger Handle
While the standard weapon combinations youunlock when starting the gamein Chapter 1 might not be the most useful carried throughout the rest of the game, if you break down the blades and the handles and combine them with other pieces, they can have a surprising amount of longevity.
An amazing example of this is the Wintry Rapier Blade, which can be unlocked automatically or bought later on in Chapter 1 depending on the path you choose. It can then be combined with the Salamander Dagger Handle, which will give you some amazing speed for a technique build. The Handle can be found hidden by the Workshop Union Entrance.
7Fire Axe Blade And Wintry Rapier Handle
If you want to prioritize your speed and damage when attacking with a technique build, then retaining the Wintry Rapier Handle is an excellent decision. This is one of the most versatile handle options when building for technique, and if you want a weapon that maximises its damage, then the Fire Axe Blade that can be found in Venigni Works in Chapter 3 is a great option.

The weapon is quick and has great technique scaling; however, it has a very short range as well as poor guard defence. Aside from this, it is one of the best technique options in the game.
While mixing and matching blade and handle combinations can be a great method for increasing damage, sometimes sticking to the default combination can be surprisingly effective. One of the best examples of this is the Electric Coil Stick Head and Handle, which you may get pretty early on in Chapter 2.
The combination is sold by the Wandering Merchant you will find in Elysion Boulevard, and the shock status effect is especially effective against puppets, who are the most common enemy class early in the game.
5Greatsword Of Fate Blade And Krat Police Baton Handle
It might be surprising to discover that one of the best options for a greatsword in Lies of P will actually use the default greatsword blade you will get in Chapter 1. The Greatsword of Fate Blade is unlocked by choosing the Path of the Sweeper: Strength, but can also be purchased for just 300 ergo from the merchant before the first boss.
To help improve this blade to get even better range and mobility, you add the Krat Police Baton Handle that can be found when beating the Police Puppet near the weeping women in Chapter 2.
4Booster Glaive Blade And Big Pipe Wrench Handle
If you are building P with a motivity build, then an issue you might run into is struggling to avoid enemy attacks after dealing damage. One of the best ways to counter this is by using a weapon combination with a longer range that still retains good physical damage and motivity scaling.

One of the best weapon combinations that capitalizes on this is the Booster Glaive Blade with the Pipe Wrench Handle. You will be able to get both parts of this weapon combination before reaching Chapter 4, with the Booster Glaive Blade hidden inside Venigni Works, and the Big Pipe Wrench Handle being found after beating Fuoco.
3Puppet’s Saber Blade And Fire Axe Handle
If you choose the Path of the Cricket: Balance, then you will receive the Puppet Saber Blade to help carry you through Chapter 1, and this is a great blade if you are planning to build P using a quality build that balances both motivity and technique.
you’re able to keep it with its default combination; however, if you want to improve it for a quality build, then you can combine it with the Fire Axe Handle that you can find hidden in Venigni Works during Chapter 3. This handle has great scaling, and slightly improves the reach of the blade to capitalize on its damage output.
2Acidic Crystal Spear Blade And Big Pipe Wrench Handle
One of the best ways to inflict extra damage in Lies of P is to pick a blade that will imbue a status effect on an enemy, and one of the best options for this is the Acidic Crystal Spear Blade. The main issue with the default combination for this blade is that it lacks range, so combining it with the Pipe Wrench Handle will fix this issue, as well as improving Motivity scaling.
You will have to wait until reaching the Path of the Pilgrim in Chapter 5 to be able to get the blade for this combination, but the handle should be easy to find in the mines under Venigni Works following theFuoco boss encounter.
1Salamander Dagger Blade And Booster Glaive Handle
Similar to the combination of the Acidic Crystal Spear and the Pipe Wrench Handle, using a longer handle to compensate for the lacking range of dagger blades is a great way to increase damage and imbue status effects on enemies.
This combination of the Salamander Dagger Blade and the Booster Glaive Handle is more useful for a technique build thanks to the scaling, and if you want to cast Overheat on the enemy from a safe range, this is a great option. The Blade and the Handle can both be found inside Venigni Works, so you should be able to complete this combination before the boss in Chapter 3.
