This guide will serve as a blueprint for the game’s best weapons that each player can utilize. It will highlight great early-game and budget options, as well as the overall strongest, top-of-the-line weapons for each. This will include both primary and secondary weaponry. So for those who may want to prepare forSparks of Hopeby exploring this 2017 original, here are the best weapons inMario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Mario
Blasters
As one might expect, the game’s main hero carries the rather versatile, impactful main weapon. Blasters are typically good at mid and close range, though they are typically well-rounded, and tend to be at least somewhat effective in various scenarios.
Melee
To complement the blaster, Mario also opts for the more characteristic Hammers as a melee option. These usually inflict loads of area-of-effect damage. However, this comes at the cost of a cooldown, limited range, and a lack of Cover damage.
Luigi
Precision Rifles
Luigi’s main weapon of choice is the Precision Rifle, which usually excels in sniping and picking off foes from long range. However, they aren’t as useful during close-range skirmishes.
Sentries
Acting as something of an extra, automated fighter on the battlefield, Luigi’s Sentries are quite handy as a secondary weapon. Not only do they add extra firepower, but they can also hunt down and explode on targets when clashing with them.
Peach
Boomshots
Packing a punch at a close range, Peach’s area-of-effect shotguns help to balance out the long-range precision of Luigi’s rifles. But while Peach is typically more effective for close-up scuffles, some of her shotguns can also be effective at medium range.
Grenaducks
While they may appear to be rather cute rubber ducks, players shouldn’t disregard these deceptively impactful grenades. These secondary weapons add even more area-of-effect prowess for Peach and can be effective in tossing from the safety of cover. But like the spread of her shotguns, they run the risk of dealing friendly fire with companions in range.
Yoshi
Rumblebangs
Yoshi’s primary weapon takes the form of the ever-satisfying gatling guns called Rumblebangs. They’re designed to deal swift, potent damage, as they unleash bursts of shots at one target.
Rockets
Adding to Yoshi’s explosive arsenal are the Rockets; large and impactful secondary weapons that deal long-range damage. Added to this power is its area-of-effect damage, which can handle crowd control and reach foes even when crouched behind cover.

Rabbid Luigi
Bworbs
Despitetheir peculiar name, these weapons essentially serve as a variant of Blasters laced with elemental effects. As such, many of these guns can really make a difference during a prolonged fight.
