Key[edit]

• Name

• Names displayed are according to the Atlus (NA) version of the game.
• Name changes from the Asian version, if any, will appear in parentheses.

• Damage

• The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are X / Y / Z:

• X is Physical Damage
• Y is Magical Damage
• Z is Fire Damage

• Bleed, Poison and Plague are bonus damage over a period of 60 seconds. So, if a weapon has "Bleed 120", the victim will suffer 120 damage over 60 seconds, or 2 damage per second.
• Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

• Normal
• Blunt
• Slashing
• Piercing

• Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.

• Durability

• The durability of the weapon.
• The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%.

• Weight

• The Weight of the weapon.
• Note that carrying over 50% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.

• Stats Needed

• The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.
• The Requirement stats for an weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

• W is the Strength required
• X is the Dexterity required
• Y is the Magic required
• Z is the Faith required

• Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.
• Also keep in mind that your character gains a 50% bo [[nus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Great Axe (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands.
• (18 x 1.5 = 27)

• Stat Bonuses

• The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus damage you do with the weapon, based on the associated Stat.
• This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill).

• Damage Reduction%

• The Damage Reduction% of the weapon.
• It dictates how much damage the weapon mitigates while blocking.
• The Damage Reduction% stats for a shield are X / Y / Z:

• X is Physical Damage
• Y is Magical Damage
• Z is Fire Damage

• Guard Break Reduction

• The Guard Break Reduction determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack.
• A higher Guard Break Reduction also allows you to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.
