Each level of a weapon has a higher attack power than its previous form, and usually new special attributes. The special attributes do not "stack." For example, the Herald Sword, which does extra damage against slimes and lizards, is upgraded to the Broad Sword, which deals extra damage to insects. The Broad Sword does not retain the Herald Sword's anti-slime and lizard attribute.
