Each Phantom Thief has a specific weapon type they can equip, influencing their basic attack damage and sometimes providing stat bonuses. Weapons are primarily obtained from:
- Sophia's Shop: The main source for purchasing new and stronger weapons as you progress.
- Chests: Found in Jails, often containing unique or powerful weapons.
- Requests: Some Requests reward you with exclusive weapons.
When choosing weapons, consider the following:
- Attack Power: The most straightforward stat, directly increasing physical damage.
- Magic Power: Important for characters who rely on Persona skills (Joker, Ann, Haru, Makoto).
- Stat Bonuses: Some weapons offer boosts to Strength, Magic, Agility, Luck, or Endurance.
- Special Effects: Rare weapons might have effects like increased critical rate, status ailment chance, or elemental damage.
Always aim to equip the strongest weapon available for each character, prioritizing their primary damage stat (Attack for Ryuji/Yusuke, Magic for Ann/Haru/Makoto, both for Joker). sell old weapons for extra Yen.
