Weapons are a character's primary source of attack power. Each character type has specific weapon proficiencies:
- Cress: Swords and Spears. Swords generally offer a balance of attack and speed, while spears often have higher attack but slower recovery. Always equip his strongest available weapon.
- Chester: Bows. His damage output is entirely dependent on his bow's attack power.
- Mint: Staves. While she doesn't attack physically much, some staves can boost her Intelligence or Mind, enhancing her healing.
- Arche: Brooms. Similar to Mint, brooms primarily boost her Intelligence, increasing her magic damage.
- Claus: Books. Books boost his Intelligence, making his summons more powerful.
- Suzu: Knives/Daggers. These weapons are fast and often have special properties.
Look for weapons with high attack power. Some weapons also have elemental properties (e.g., Flame Sword) which can be exploited against enemies with elemental weaknesses. Others might offer stat bonuses or even teach new Artes. Always check new towns for weapon upgrades. sell old, weaker weapons to free up inventory space and earn Gald.
