There is no evidence-backed universal ranking of the eight best Motivity weapons in Lies of P. Your strongest choice depends on the weapon’s scaling, its handling, and—when you assemble a weapon—the blade-and-handle pairing. This shortlist separates fixed special weapons from adaptable assemblies and identifies Overture picks so you can narrow the options to your build.

What makes a weapon a good Motivity choice?

Motivity is only one part of the decision. Consider how quickly a weapon attacks, how much reach it gives you, whether its guard and charged attacks suit your timing, and how its Fable Art fits the way you handle encounters. In an assembled weapon, the handle matters: a recommendation for a blade-and-handle combination is not a claim that the blade alone makes the weapon a Motivity pick. Build and combo guides likewise treat weapon recommendations as dependent on scaling and assembly choices (GamesRadar+; Samurai Gamers).

The candidates below are a practical starting pool, not a verified top-eight damage ranking. The available sources do not establish comparable current stats, acquisition details, or an objective order for eight entries. Check the weapon and handle descriptions in your game before committing resources.

Fixed special weapons to consider

These are special-weapon candidates, rather than interchangeable blade-and-handle recipes. Choose among them by handling and fit with your build; the sources do not establish a precise order among them.

#1 Best Overall

Lies of P - PlayStation 5
  • The essence of battle: Wield and master various weapons with unique combinations of Fable Arts and Legion Arms to find out what fits your playstyle
  • Variety of attraction: Enjoy the beautiful, yet dark atmosphere of the Belle Époque era and explore the once prosperous city of Krat
  • Lie system: P is made of a puppet's heart, but he learns how to think and feel like a human by lying
  • Legacy of the classics: The city of Krat, the characters, and even the smallest objects reflect our deepest admiration for the original tale of Pinocchio

Noblesse Oblige

A special weapon to compare if you want a fixed option rather than an assembly recommendation. Confirm its displayed scaling and moveset in your game, then weigh its attacks and Fable Art against your preferred pace. The sources used here do not verify its acquisition point or provide current comparative damage figures.

Frozen Feast

Another fixed special-weapon candidate. Its place on a Motivity shortlist should depend on whether its handling, reach, and attack commitment work for you—not on an unsupported claim that it outranks every alternative. Check its in-game scaling and attack descriptions before choosing it.

Holy Sword of the Ark

This special weapon belongs in the comparison pool, but a name alone does not establish that it is the best fit for every Motivity build. Review its displayed attributes, moveset, and Fable Art alongside the other fixed weapons and your preferred combat rhythm.

Adaptable assembled weapon options

Assembly lets you pair blades with handles, so evaluate the finished weapon rather than treating a blade as a complete recommendation. Motivity scaling is especially important to verify on the handle and assembled setup. The candidates here are assembly paths, not confirmed optimal recipes.

Bone-Cutting Saw Blade with a Motivity-suited handle

The Bone-Cutting Saw blade is a useful starting point for an adaptable normal-weapon setup. Pair it with a handle whose displayed Motivity scaling and moveset suit your build. No specific handle pairing or current stat comparison is established by the sources cited here, so inspect the available handles rather than relying on a supposedly definitive recipe.

Bone-Cutting Saw Blade with a reach-focused handle

If you like the blade but want a different feel, compare it with handles that change reach, attack speed, and guard behavior. This is a way to tune the assembly to your timing, not a verified best-in-slot combination. Confirm that the resulting handle scaling still supports your Motivity investment.

Rank #4
Lies of P - PlayStation 4
  • The essence of battle: Wield and master various weapons with unique combinations of Fable Arts and Legion Arms to find out what fits your playstyle
  • Variety of attractions: Enjoy the beautiful, yet dark atmosphere of the Belle Époque era and explore the once prosperous city of Krat
  • Lie system: P is made of a puppet's heart, but he learns how to think and feel like a human by lying
  • Legacy of the classics: The city of Krat, the characters, and even the smallest objects reflect our deepest admiration for the original tale of Pinocchio

Bone-Cutting Saw Blade with a handling-focused handle

For players who prefer a more manageable attack rhythm, test the blade on handles whose movesets feel comfortable in ordinary attacks and charged attacks. The choice is personal: a theoretically appealing pairing is not useful if its timing makes it harder for you to land hits or defend.

Overture DLC pick

Pale Knight

If you own Lies of P: Overture, Pale Knight is an additional Motivity candidate. A 2025 TechRadar review describes it as packing a punch for Motivity builds and notes that Overture weapons are compatible with base-game weapons. Treat that as a recommendation to test, not a measured ranking against the base-game candidates; compare its in-game handling and attributes with the weapons you already use.

Best Value
Lies of P (PS5)
  • Inspired by the familiar story of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action souls-like set in a dark Belle Époque world.
  • As the puppet P, players must wind their way through the streets of the ruined city of Krat, crafting weapons from the materials found in the world and interacting with the remaining few who manage to survive in this hellscape.
  • The more lies told, the more human players become, with all the advantages and disadvantages it entails.
  • Experience profound narrative choices and deeply customizable character progression as you guide P on his unrelenting journey to become human.

Overture is a DLC expansion, so Pale Knight is not a base-game-only recommendation. NEOWIZ’s Overture launch patch notes document DLC support and game-system updates, including changes to the weapon upgrade, handle alteration, and assembly interfaces.

How to choose between the candidates

  1. Check the version you are playing. Decide whether your shortlist is base game only or includes Overture; do not compare Pale Knight as though it were available in the base game.
  2. Read the displayed scaling. For a fixed special weapon, inspect the weapon’s attributes. For an assembly, check the handle and the finished setup rather than assuming the blade determines Motivity scaling.
  3. Compare how each option handles. Try ordinary attacks, charged attacks, guarding, and the Fable Art. Favor the moveset you can use reliably over a theoretical ranking.
  4. Check availability and upgrade costs in your own save. The cited sources do not establish acquisition points or current item-by-item upgrade details for all candidates, so verify those in-game before planning a route or spending resources.
  5. Reassess after changing a handle. An assembled weapon’s feel and scaling can change with the handle, so test the complete combination rather than carrying over an earlier judgment about its blade.
