Weapons

Here is a list of weapons, the stat boosts you get with each one, their cost, where to purchase them, and information on which ATAC can equip each one, with the character who's likely to pilot that ATAC in brackets beside it. Weapons are divided by types, and each type is equipped by different ATACs, and has a different set of attacks that it can teach you. For example, only a spear user can Long Thrust. Legendary, or unattainable equipment is written in yellow font.

NOTE: In the shop column, where I list the shops to buy each item, a K beside a chapter number indicates the shop you can purchase it in the Kingdom or Ruin branch, whereas an E indicates the Empire branch. Also, the names beside the characters in the Equip column is the name of the character most likely driving that ATAC, providing you don't mix your team up too much!

Swords are the standard weapon for most ATACs, and you will find yourself buying these more often than any other type of weapon. Note that as you get farther into the game, Cecilia and Bastion will acquire different ATACs and will cease to use these swords.

ATACs that can equip: Alba (Bastion), Korbelan (Franco and Halak), Ratatosk (Devlin and Barlow), Serata (Galvas), Barbatos (Cecilia), Barazaph (Ione), Einlager (Claire), Eigol, Solarus, Glaive, Haizuron

Attacks: Slash, Thrust, Tackle, Str. Slash, Kick

Or in laymen's terms, a spike on a stick. Spears are used rarely, and are more thrust-oriented that slash-oriented. Meaning, Spears are there for poking enemies and stabbing them, rather than hacking and slashing.

Weapons in this category are considered legendary and are unequippable from the respective ATAC, but they are also unique and have their own attack sets, listed in the table. Some of these weapons you won't even be able to use, because they are equipped on unattainable enemy ATACs.
