Swinging Weapons

The attack range of these weapons begins at about 45 degrees behind Soma's head, then swings down in front until it stops at about 45 degrees from the ground. Thus, Swinging Weapons attack above Soma, as well as in front of him.

Slicing Weapons

These weapons cause Soma to attack by quickly slicing about 180 degrees horizontally. Slicing Weapons tend to be very quick with a long range, but they only attacks directly in front of Soma (as opposed to Swinging Weapons that attack a broad area above and in front of Soma).

Gloves

These weapons cause Soma to attack by jabbing quickly straight in front of himself. If Soma is unarmed, his attack is this type, with no elemental properties and an even shorter range than if he was wearing a glove. Punching is quick, but the range is terrible.

Name	Stats	Element(s)	Range	Price	Location
Cestus	ATT + 20	None	Very Short	100	Found in Castle Corridor.
Whip Knuckle	ATT +49	None	Short	2400	Dropped by Weretiger.
Poison Fist	ATT +60		Very Short	2700	Dropped by Skull Millione.

Stabbing Weapons

These weapons cause Soma to position the weapon in front of his body and quickly thrust forward with it. Basically, this is just like punching but with a slightly longer range (And the Sword Element).

Name	Stats	Range	Price	Location
Rapier	ATT +14	Average	500	Bought from Hammer, Found in Chapel and Dropped by Skeleton Knight.
Cutall	ATT +20	Short	850	Bought from Hammer (After Defeating Headhunter) and Found in Dance Hall.
Estoc	ATT +31	Average	1000	Bought from Hammer (After Defeating Headhunter) and Dropped by Dead Crusader.

Lances

Soma attacks with lances by lifting his weapon from a 45 degree angle from the ground until it's parallel to the ground, then stabbing with it. These are similar to slicing weapons, but are slightly slower and attack slightly lower.

Name	Stats	Range	Price	Location
Spear	ATT +17	Above Average	750	Bought from Hammer and Dropped by Winged Skeleton.
Trident	ATT +28	Above Average	1050	Bought from Hammer (After Defeating Headhunter) and Dropped by Triton.

Gabolg	ATT +58	Above Average	3400	Dropped by Witch.
Ronginus' Spear	ATT +102	Above Average	10000	Found in Underground Reservoir and Dropped by Erinys.

Flurry Weapons

Soma attacks numerous times in front of himself, faster than the eye can see. The advantage of these weapons is that they attack more than once at a time.

Name	Stats	Element(s)	Range	Price	Location
Valmanway	ATT +2		Average	N/A	Won if you beat Boss Rush in Under 4 Minutes.
Mach Punch	ATT +5	None	Short	2000	Dropped by Werejaguar.
Kaiser Knuckle	ATT +10	None	Average	15000	Found in the Study (Hard Mode Only).

Pistols

Soma uses pistols by shooting a bullet quickly across the screen straight in front of himself. Obviously, the advantage of pistols is their unrivaled range.

Name	Picture	Stats	Element(s)	Range	Price	Location
Handgun		ATT +1		Cross-Screen	6000	Found in Underground Reservoir.
Silver Gun		ATT +42		Cross-Screen	38500	Found in The Arena (Hard Mode Only).

Rifles

There's only one rifle in the game. It' similar to the guns, but it's shot slightly lower and hits numerous times. Rifles are slower to draw than other multi-hit weapons, but their range more than makes up for that.

Name	Picture	Stats	Element(s)	Range	Price	Location
Positron Rifle		ATT +50		Cross-Screen	N/A	Won if you beat Boss Rush between 4 and 5 minutes.
