Weapons are crucial for your physical attackers. The Prince of Midenhall benefits most from the highest Attack power weapons, while the Prince of Cannock can use slightly less powerful but still effective swords. The Princess of Moonbrooke typically uses staves, which offer minimal attack but might provide other benefits. Here's a list of notable weapons:

Weapons
  • Copper Sword: Early game, Midenhall.
  • Iron Sword: Mid-game, various shops.
  • Broad Sword: Good mid-game upgrade for Midenhall.
  • Dragon Killer: Effective against dragon-type enemies.
  • Light Sword: A powerful late-game weapon for Midenhall, often found in a hidden location or late-game shop.
  • Thunder Sword: Another strong late-game option, sometimes with a special effect.
  • Wizard's Wand: Basic staff for Moonbrooke.
  • Staff of Thunder: A powerful staff for Moonbrooke, casting a spell when used as an item.

Always aim for the highest Attack power for your Princes. For the Princess, prioritize staves that offer utility or magical boosts if available, otherwise, any staff will do as her physical attack is negligible.
