The guide

Weapons

A separate equipment slot from gear, with its own catalog, its own materials, and an active skill you fire in combat.

How weapons work

Every weapon gives a passive that is always on, plus an active skill you fire with the skill button — it appears once you have a weapon equipped. You can only have one active skill in play per fight, and each one is once per combat.

Weapons enhance to +5 like gear, using their own recipes and materials, and every recipe needs a region signature material — so every region on the map feeds a particular weapon.

Active skills are disabled in equalized modes — Blind Drop and Airdrop combat — where everyone fights on identical footing by design.

Trainee's EdgeQuest
Power Strike — A focused strike that deals 125% damage to one target.
no enhance · Granted by the weapon quest The First Blade — not craftable.

Two are Bond recipes. Revenant Edge and Requiem Aegis are unlocked once for 100 Bonds at the Weapon Forge, then crafted for OIL and enhanced like any other weapon. Both channel a fallen ally's spirit, so they only do anything in team modes with someone down.

Matching a weapon to a build

Burst skills reward STR/AGI attackers: Reaper's Edge if you can push targets under 25%, Gemini Edge to split damage, Sunder Pike against high-AGI targets whose flat mitigation is the problem.

Sustain and defense suit a CON parry tank: Aegis Bulwark for a near-guaranteed parry, Guardian's Oath to eat the hit aimed at your weakest ally, Pulse Injector to parry, heal and gain Focus in one turn.

In team modes, War Banner, Tracker Bow and Bastion Standard multiply across the whole squad instead of one target.

Trainee's Edge comes from the weapon quest The First Blade, where Elric finds a sealed forge-site outside Aldenmoor and the constructs that sealed it. It has no passive and cannot be enhanced — it exists to teach the active-skill flow.
