Skies of Arcadia/Weapons

The easiest way to boost a party member's offensive capabilities is to equip them with a better weapon. You can get new swords, boomerangs and other weapons either by buying them from a Weapons Merchant in a port, finding them in chests or as a reward after battles.

Each of your party members can only equip a certain type of weapon; for instance, Vyse uses cutlasses but can't equip Aika's boomerang.

Weapons are equipped by pressing X to open the menu, selecting the character, choosing "Equipment" and clicking on the first equipment slot. A list of the available weapons for that character will appear, as well as a description of the piece and its effects on the selected party member.

Vyse's weapons
Vyse's weapon of choice is the cutlass; a short, durable sword favoured by sailors for its usefullness in all kinds of situations.

Drachma's weapons
Drachma's mechanical right arm is his preferred offensive tool; the detachable hand can be fired across the arena to impact an enemy at long distance, or bludgeons a nearby foe.

Fina's weapons
Fina is different from all other party members because she keeps the same weapon throughout the entire game - Cupil. He'll evolve into more powerful forms when you feed him a certain number of moonstone shards called "Chams".
