Project Ghoul Best Quinque Tier List

Quinques are the CCG faction’s equivalent of Kagune — investigator weapons forged from Ghoul kagune material. In Project Ghoul you unlock, upgrade, and swap Quinques as you rank up through the investigator path. Ghoul players obsess over 0.65% Epic spins; CCG players grind Yen, Materials, quest chains, and specialization choices to reach weapons that can stand toe-to-toe with S-tier Kagunes.

This tier list reflects community consensus in the legacy Roblox build, not an official GX Studios chart. The remake (Project Ghoul: re) may rename weapons, retune damage, or redistribute unlock requirements. Read every placement with that caveat — then validate in-game after patch days announced on Discord or Trello.

How Quinque progression differs from Kagune spins

Ghouls roll Kagune from a gacha-style menu and manage hunger while scaling RC. CCG investigators skip hunger entirely and invest in Yen, Materials, Arata suits, and Mask abilities (default H key in most control schemes). Your Quinque tier therefore assumes you follow the CCG build guide — stats and gear multiply weapon quality.

Quinques also interact with squad PvE and anti-Ghoul PvP differently. Range, parry windows, and burst versus sustained DPS matter when dueling Yasuhisa-speed combos or T-Owl projectile walls.

S-tier community picks: Owl and elite options

Owl Quinque

Owl (and Owl-family variants referenced in community lists) consistently ranks at the top of CCG discussions for hybrid range and burst. Investigators use it to pressure Ghouls at medium distance while retaining enough melee follow-up to punish whiffs. In PvE it clears quest objectives efficiently when paired with correct stat priorities.

Owl’s exact unlock path varies by patch — check Trello quest boards for current steps. Treat Owl as an endgame goal, not a day-one weapon.

High-end specialty Quinques

Beyond Owl, S-tier talk often includes fully upgraded rare Quinques tied to late investigator ranks or event materials. Names shift between updates; the pattern is consistent: high base damage, reliable skill 2 utility, and a finisher that works in PvP trades.

Because GX Studios can rebalance silently, we avoid locking every S-tier name in stone. If Owl feels nerfed post-patch, re-test Ixune, Doujima, or whichever Quinque the community spotlights that week — then update your loadout.

A-tier: 1/24 and strong generalist Quinques

Community tier threads frequently highlight 1/24 (spoken as “one-twenty-four” in English guides) as the best realistic Quinque for players who are not whale-grinding endgame mats. It balances:

• Consistent single-target damage for boss quests
• Manageable cooldowns for PvP skirmishes
• Unlock costs that fit mid-game Yen budgets

If you are CCG and asking “what should I run before Owl,” 1/24-style generalists are the answer. They will not automatically beat T-Owl in a vacuum, but with Arata timing and Mask burst they hold their own in A-tier PvP.

Other A-tier candidates often include upgraded Koukaku-style defensive Quinques for players who prefer trading safely — analogous to Kuzen on the Ghoul side.

B-tier: early investigator weapons

Fresh CCG characters start with low-tier Quinques adequate for tutorial zones and first raids. B-tier weapons teach blocking, parry, and Yen economy without punishing mistakes too harshly.

Replace B-tier gear when:

• You unlock investigator rank gates for better vendors
• Quest chains on Trello point to a clear upgrade
• You stockpile enough Materials for the next forge tier

Do not compare B-tier Quinques to Epic Kagunes in PvP and declare CCG weak — faction progression is asynchronous by design.

C-tier: starter and placeholder Quinques

Tutorial Quinques and un upgraded defaults belong here. They exist to introduce H key Mask synergy and basic combos. Swap out as soon as the CCG build checklist says you meet rank and Material thresholds.

PvE vs PvP for CCG

Priority	PvE focus	PvP focus
Damage type	Sustained DPS + AoE clears	Burst + stun follow-up
Defense	Arata for boss mechanics	Mask + dodge timing
Economy	Yen/Material routes	Less relevant — skill wins
Matchups	NPC patterns	Kagune mobility (Yasuhisa, Kuzen)

Owl and optimized 1/24 builds excel in PvE farming once upgraded. PvP demands you learn Mask timing and when to pop Arata against Rinkaku reach or T-Owl zoning.

Quinque vs Kagune: honest power comparison

Reddit and Discord arguments often claim “CCG is weak” or “Ghouls always win.” Reality is build-dependent:

• A mid-tier Quinque with optimal stats loses to S-tier Kagune in skilled hands.
• A maxed Owl investigator with Arata discipline beats C-tier and many B-tier Ghouls routinely.
• Epic Kagune chase is RNG-heavy; Quinque chase is time-heavy — pick your pain.

Cross-read the Kagune tier list to know what you are dueling.

Progression advice

1. Follow getting started until you choose CCG permanently — rerolling faction costs time.
2. Stack Yen during weekend +30% buff windows (see updates hub for event notes).
3. Upgrade along the 1/24-style generalist path before Owl chase.
4. Invest in Arata for high-damage reduction content and Mask for burst windows.
5. Track quest requirements on Trello; many Quinque upgrades are quest-gated, not shop-gated.
6. When Project Ghoul: re launches, expect this list to reset — keep Materials flexible.

Quinques reward planners, not gamblers. Owl is the north star; 1/24-style picks get you there without losing every duel to Epic Ghouls.
