I'd recommend the holy moonlight sword because it's arguably the best of the three weapons, it's very fun to use, promotes advanced techniques like trick attacks and using your full move set -- which will help you become a better player as you master this weapon and learn to apply those techniques to your other weapons.

additionally, you've already put 18 points into arcane.

this means even putting ALL of those other factors aside, in which the holy moonlight sword is the best in pretty much every possible reasoning, it's still the best in terms of pure damage and how it fits into your already existing build.

the beast cutter won't get any benefit from your points in arcane, which is fine, but you already have a purely physical weapon filling that role. the beast cutter would be better if you were doing 50 arcane or 50 str/25 skill.

the amygdala arm does have arcane scaling but it's so minor that you won't get anything out of it. worse, you lose the ability to buff the weapon with consumable items and get nothing in return. at least with the holy moonlight sword you are sacrificing consumable buffs in exchange for solid bonus arcane damage. with the amygdala arm, you will get the benefits of having 50 strength, but it's an inferior weapon and it doesn't reward your 18 arcane nearly as much.

honestly it seems like you are interested in trying out the arm, and I wouldn't really discourage you from doing so. I tried it for myself as well. it's better than just accepting what someone says on the internet, even if they seem to know what they are talking about. but I can say with a decent amount of confidence that because of the stat spread and scaling of the amygdala arm, there is almost no build which really wants to use it. and because of its poor move set, this puts it into an even worse position. it might be the worst weapon in the game... so prepare to be disappointed if you do try it out.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
