Favorite Weapons/Weapon Types in Kid Icarus: Uprising

So, in light of seeing a few people who also like to play Kid Icarus: Uprising, I'm wondering how everyone likes to play. So if you feel comfortable sharing, please tell us what weapon types you favor, and which weapons you like most.

To start us off. My best weapons are Claws, Bows, and Blades. The weapon I find myself using most often is an Aurum Bow I made. It's got a pretty high value (though I've seen higher) clocking in at 330. But what I like most about it is the Ranged Attacks, maxed out at 6 stars. The melee is lacking (It's only 2 stars), but it gets the job done, nonetheless. The other things that stand out to me are a fair +3 in Overall Defense and an amazing +4 in backdash charge shots. Very good for my style of gameplay. The other two boosts are so trivial, that I can't really remember them at the moment, but I'll figure it out soon...

But I understand that many people excel in different areas, and I'd love to hear about your favorite weapons.
