All right, Sharena, here's a tricky one for you. Name something that's been by the side of every Hero through thick and thin!
-
Hmm... Friends and allies with dreams of peace and prosperity!
-
Well, you're not wrong, but I was thinking about things, not people. And the things I had in mind are weapons!
-
Oh! Right! You can't just go around bashing people with your bare hands all of the time. Well...I can't, anyway.
-
Some weapons carried by Heroes come with special effects. We call these "weapon skills," and they can support Heroes in all kinds of ways.
-
Like my Fensalir! I can use it to inflict Atk-4 on foes within two spaces at the start of a turn. Not bad, eh?
-
Not bad at all, and a good example! If you can master the different weapon skills, they'll really help you turn battles to your advantage. When you welcome a new Hero onto the team, make sure to check out their weapons!
Weapons Have All Kinds of Effects
Heroes are equipped with various weapons, such as Marth: Altean Prince's Falchion, or Zelgius: Jet-Black General's Alondite. These weapons are represented by weapon skills, which possess a wide range of effects.
Heroes' Weapon Skills Can Be Swapped Around
Some weapon skills can only be equipped by their original owners, while some can be inherited by other Heroes like regular skills. You should work to optimize your Heroes for the maps and foes you're challenging by equipping them with useful weapon skills, such as weapons that are effective against certain unit types.
