IMPORTANT: DON'T WORRY

Before proceeding please know Relink doesn't "punish" you in any way here (rewards you actually) and the decision doesn't have any meaningful long-term effects. Rest easy my friend!

Even if you want to switch and changed your mind, it's very easy to do so. The next time you would uncap that weapon, progress your newly chosen weapon instead. You should have more than enough materials to do so.

So, What's the best Weapon to Upgrade?

I suppose many people may come here for SOME kind of answer. And yes, some level of guidance can help in the short term. So here goes.

Mahiko San Tip (tm): General Weapon Type upgrade order:
Terminus(?) > Stinger > Defender > Stunner > Executioner > Ascension Weapon

Terminus is the absolute best weapon to upgrade. But this is only obtained endgame. By the time you reach a Terminus weapon you can have MULTIPLE MAX UPGRADED weapons if you so choose so NO DO NOT SAVE MATERIALS. So if you're upgrading a new character after the endgame grind, go for Terminus first if you can.

As for the other five weapon types (in order), assuming its for your "main", and it's early-mid game:

• Stinger (Crit): Is my first choice. Great DPS weapon all around.
• Defender (HP): Gives a FAT HP boost from Collection Masteries.
• Stunner (Stun Power): Stun power is amazing. Great if heavily damage capped.
• Executioner (Weakpoint): a Welcome damage modifier.
• Ascencsion Weapon (ATK): Meh for many reasons, I'd always save this for LAST.

Either way, you'll be upgrading all of them in time for your "main". But I understand that you want to choose one to "tryhard" for now.

I guess this order also helps if you want to upgrade them all at once and need to leave certain ones behind for a little bit.

But, there's really no objectively correct order, this is just my advice. But in the face of the reality that you'll eventually upgrade them all... Don't worry about doing anything "suboptimal".

Upgrading Weapons for AI Teammates?

Well, it all depends on your goals - but lemme hit you with a Upgrading weapons with the goal of having AI compaions deal meaningful damage is somewhat a lost cause.

That being said, Stunner is the best AI Weapon in a VAST MAJORITY OF CASES. Why? Well, more breaks is good! More Link Attacks! Also, the secondary trait on these is Linked Together! It's an amazing support weapon overall.

Mahiko San Tip (tm): AI weapon order, generally speaking:
Terminus(?) > Stunner > Defender > Executioner > Stinger > Ascension Weapon

After that,upgrading Defender type weapons is LEGIT for AI teammates as it gives a decent chunk of HP for them to survive. While they're pretty good at surviving already, I feel that the Defender Collection Mastery is always welcome.

Another advantage? Once you have the Stunner and Defender weapon - it's a great starting point if you ever want to actively use this character!

After these two, feel free to upgrade everything else. But of course, if you have the Terminus Weapon, you may consider upgrading that instead.

Heading

Well, that's about it regarding which weapon to upgrade first in Relink. Trust me, it's not a big deal and once you're at endgame you'll look back and feel a little silly worrying about it. You'll want them all anyway!
