screenrant.com:

While the epic sequel brings back the Blades of Chaos and Leviathan Axe, the perfect weapon available to Kratos in is actually the Draupnir Spear. The latest entry in the mythological action saga sees Kratos battle the Aesir gods with the help of gameplay innovations that make him more nimble and versatile than ever. The Blades of Chaos and Leviathan Axe receive powerful new moves to help Kratos face down Thor, Odin and their kin, but the Draupnir Spear perfectly rounds out iconic arsenal.

brings back Kratos' iconic Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos, which were both present in 2018's, and makes them even more valuable in combat. The Blades of Chaos grant players enhanced mobility by letting them grapple and swing around the Nine Realms, and the Ghost of Sparta's iconic chained blades can now be enhanced with fiery energy to open up brand-new destructive opportunities. The Leviathan Axe can also channel the element of ice at will, with its signature Recall ability receiving an additional emphasis in larger arenas. However, Kratos' third legendary weapon manages to eclipse both of these mythic armaments.

The Leviathan Axe can decimate foes at close or long range and the Blades of Chaos deliver a whirlwind of flames at mid-range, but the Draupnir Spear can perform both functions and more. Widely considered one of best weapons, Draupnir is an endlessly replicating spear that Kratos can use to annihilate enemies at close range or turn distant foes into pincushions. Draupnir breathes new life into combat system once it's introduced, giving players more tactical options as they litter the battlefield with spears before detonating them simultaneously.
