Unflickering Valor
R1BestBrant's signature and by far best weapon. The massive Energy Regen, Basic ATK DMG and small CRIT Rate boosts the weapon offers are all Brant's top stats, allowing him to sport the Tidebreaking Courage set comfortably, even with a Fusion DMG Bonus Echo if you build his Energy Regen well. However, this sword isn't good on anyone else, only pull it if you have Brant, and if you do pull it, know you'll only use it on him.

Laser Shearer
R1ATK and Energy Regen stat-stick much like Aero Rover's Signature weapon. Only marginally better than it as it can provide 12% extra ATK via the passive, but generally not worth sparing the pulls when Bloodpact's Pledge is free to obtain.

Bloodpact's Pledge
R5Aero Rover's Signature weapon is actually very much usable on Brant with Tidebreaking Courage thanks to its high Base ATK and Energy Regen main stat. Unfortunately he is unable to make use of this weapon's passive effects, but as a Base ATK and Energy Regen stat-stick it's his best F2P weapon choice assuming you can acommodate Tideebreaking Courage's steep build requirements.

Red Spring
R1Camellya's signature weapon is usable by all Basic Attack focused Sword wielding characters, including Brant, but it is designed with her in mind due to a lot of its power locked behind spending Concerto mid-rotation, something only Camellya can do. While Brant is able to make good leverage of most of its stats, but due to being unable to benefit from the Tidebreaking Courage set and not benefitting from the complete passive effect, it ranks lower than the above options.

Emerald of Genesis
R1The combination of Energy Regen, CRIT Rate and solid Base ATK make this weapon usable on Brant, and while its small ATK% boost is also easy to stack up once, Brant doesn't get to make use of the second stack in his rotations. Unfortunately, unless this weapon is R5 it's not possible to use the Tidebreaking Courage set using it which makes it rank lower than above options.

Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Molten Rift
Offers a 10% unconditional Fusion DMG% boost and an additional 30% Fusion DMG% after using a Resonance Skill for a grand total of 40% additional Fusion DMG bonus. On Brant, this set is significantly worse damage-wise than Tidebreaking Courage if it is possible to use it, however provided you cannot reach his Energy Regen requirements then this is the best set to use. Make sure to start casting a Skill and cancel it via Brant's Ultimate when his rotation starts to exploit this set's full effect!

Special Set
Tidebreaking Courage
Brant's best set provided he can reach its tremendous Energy requirements, due to providing its total of 10% Energy Regen, 15% ATK and 30% DMG Bonus at 250% Energy Regen or above. This requires very good Echoes or his Signature weapon to achieve, and while its activation conditions are very high, the reward in terms of damage increase makes this set worth the investment.
