The fastest weapon in Blasphemous is the rapier and dagger, or Sarmiento & Centella. With these twin weapons in hand, I could strike my enemies rapidly and inflict Lightning damage. While the Sarmiento & Centella are already powerful, you can strengthen them even further with Memory Upgrades.
Best Upgrades for Rapier & Dagger in Blasphemous 2
The Sarmiento & Centella possess three levels of upgrades, like the Ruego Al Alba and Veredicto. You must unlock each tier of Memory Upgrades, and then some upgrades require purchasing other upgrades first. Here are the Memory Upgrades I recommend getting in Blasphemous 2.
