The importance of the Crusader’s primary weapon cannot be underestimated, particularly in the dark world of Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition. Blizzard’s treacherous environments require players to fight their way through fierce battles. When playing as a Crusader in Diablo 3 UEE, your short-range battle skills will be all you need to survive. Yet, your weapon of choice in those short-range conflicts could make the difference between a quick and easy victory, and a long crawl to the end. What follows is a list of the best weapons for the Crusader class’ build in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition, covering both one-handed and two-handed equipment. Your crusader will need might to succeed in Diablo 3 UEE on PlayStation and Xbox, but will they be able to wield these all mighty weapons?

You may only need to be at level 31 to use this legendary flail weapon, but it certainly deals some damage that will see you through to the higher levels of Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition too. The Darklight weapon deals an enemy-staggering 1.4 attacks per second in combat, taking full advantage of the Crusader class’ melee tatic. While the Darklight is an exclusive Diablo 3 UEE weapon for the Crusader class, it hasn’t got an exclusive function. In addition to knocking your enemies’ teeth out, the Darklight also causes Fist of Heaves to have a 45-60% chance of being cast in your location. There is more than meets the eye with the Darklight flail, but no one will want to get too close to find out.
The Darklight isn’t the only flail that goes hand in hand with the Crusader’s fighting style, and nor is it the only legendary one either. The Gyrfalcon’s Foote weapon in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition is also specifically for the Crusader character class. Although the two weapons share a similar attacks per second rate, their secondary uses are altogether separated. The Gyrfalcon’s Foote flail will eradicate the resource cost associated with the Blessed Shield, giving players a powerful offensive while making the defensive side easier. Not only that, Gyrfalcon’s Foote will also boost one type of damage that you inflict on enemies, but which type that is varies with the Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition weapon.
Taking a step away from the Crusader’s collection of flails, there are also swords that players should consider for the best weapons build in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition. The Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker is one such sword. Its legendary status boosts the Crusader’s attacking force, inflicting an estimated 39 damage per second of combat. The Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker has its very long name for good reason, which may come as a surprise to some. This sword has an additional ability. When using the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, it is possible to strike your foe with Lightning. On top of the 279-372% damage that you can deal to the target, the Lightning also leaps to the nearby enemies. Every foe that is hit by the Lightning has their speed, both attack and movement, reduced by 30% for a brief 3 seconds. But those 3 seconds might just be enough time for you to put your Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition sword to good use.
Although the brute strength of the Crusader class in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition gives the character the ability to wield powerful weapons, what they can do when they use both hands is even better. Players will have to reach level 60 to be able to use the Maximus, but this legendary sword is well worth the wait. Delivering around 950 damage per second, you will be the ultimate contender in a Diablo 3 UEE battle with the Maximus in your grasp. While the sword causes fire skills to inflict 15-20% more damage than usual, the more impressive effect comes as the chance to summon a Demonic Slave when you use the Maximus. This legendary sword will serve the Crusader class as a trusted weapon of choice, inflicting immense damage to enemies who get a little too close to you.
The final entry on this Best Crusader Weapon Build in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition list is the formidable Fate of the Fell weapon. This two-handed legendary flail is an exclusive weapon for the crusaders in Diablo 3 UEE. You may only need to be at level 31 to harness the power of the Fate of the Fell sword, but it is often used by those at level 70, proving to be a worthy addition to any crusader’s weapons build.
