Weapons are a primary source of offense for your physical attackers. Each character can equip specific weapon types, and certain classes grant proficiency bonuses with particular weapons. Weapons increase a character's Attack stat. Types include:

  • Swords: Versatile, often equipped by Hero and Kiefer.
  • Claws: Fast, high critical hit rate, ideal for Ruff and Martial Artists.
  • Staves: Often boost Wisdom or MP, suitable for Maribel and spellcasters.
  • Axes: High damage, but sometimes lower accuracy.
  • Spears: Good reach, can hit multiple enemies.
  • Whips: Can hit groups of enemies.
  • Boomerangs: Hit all enemies, but with reduced damage.
Always equip the weapon with the highest Attack power that your character can use effectively. Some weapons also have special properties, like dealing extra damage to certain monster types or having a chance to inflict status effects. Pay attention to these secondary effects when choosing your gear. Upgrading your weapons in each new town is a fundamental part of staying competitive.
