·Multi-source verified (53/53)

Weapons in Final Fantasy II come in various types, each with its own skill level. Swords are balanced, Axes deal high damage but can be inaccurate, Spears have good reach, Bows allow back-row attacks, and Staves are often equipped by mages. Dual-wielding two weapons of the same type can significantly increase damage output, but it prevents the use of a shield, reducing evasion. Some weapons have elemental properties (e.g., Flame Sword) or grant stat bonuses. Experiment with different weapon types to see what suits your characters best, and remember that using a weapon type increases its skill level, leading to higher accuracy and damage. Always aim for the highest attack power weapon available.
