Each character in Persona 3 Reload uses a specific weapon type, influencing their physical attack power and sometimes granting additional effects. Regularly upgrading your weapons is essential for maintaining your damage output against stronger Shadows. Weapons can be purchased from the police station or crafted from materials found in Tartarus.

Weapon Types:
- Protagonist: One-Handed Swords (Slash)
- Yukari: Bows (Pierce)
- Junpei: Greatswords (Slash)
- Akihiko: Fists (Strike)
- Mitsuru: Rapiers (Slash)
- Fuuka: N/A (Navigator)
- Aigis: Firearms (Pierce)
- Koromaru: Knives (Slash)
- Shinjiro: Axes (Strike)
Pay attention to the attack power and any special effects (e.g., critical rate boost, status ailment chance) when choosing weapons. Crafting often yields more powerful weapons than purchasing.
