Tips for Choosing Your Claws

When you're just starting out or need a quick upgrade, look for claws that offer a solid ATK boost. The Iron Claws might be basic, but they're a starting point.
If you're facing a lot of bird or beast enemies, the Beast Claws or Monster Slashers are fantastic choices thanks to their damage bonuses.
For characters who rely on status effects, keep an eye out for claws that can inflict poison (like Cobra Claws) or beguile (like Crow's Claws or Kestrel Claws).
The higher-tier claws, such as the Crystal Claws, Decimators, or the legendary Xenlon Claws, offer incredible stats and powerful unique effects. These are often found later in the game or crafted, so they're worth saving up for!
Don't forget about the Agility (AGI) and Charisma (CHA) stats! While less common on claws, a boost here can sometimes be more valuable than raw attack power depending on your character build and the situation.
