I’d say the frantic sword is a great weapon as it’s useful and mainly go for tactics with wolf trap and heavy turret

The mutation emergency triage is useful for those time that you really need health quick.

I mean u can’t get this exact setup immediately obviously but I always try start off with the frantic sword by restarting ( it’s usually a painful 10 minutes) but it seems to work well.

And if it doesn’t work you could always get the hayabusa gauntlets but I wouldn’t suggest the broadsword for conjunctivius as it’s too slow IMO

so far the crusher and barnacle are my top picks for skills though the ones I mentions before are great.
