Fatal Labyrinth/Weapons

As you traverse the floors you'll find a variety of weapons. Only a very few are cursed (and you won't find them until later), so it's safe to equip any weapons you find to discover their Power rating. Their category also affects their effectiveness.

Swords
Swords are fairly accurate, and also fairly damaging.

Axes
Axes deal a lot of damage, but have a high chance of missing.

Spears
Spears deal the least damage of the weapon classes, but will hit the most often.

Bows
Bows allow you to attack from the distance, but using them is troublesome and some enemies have ranged attacks that will deal more damage than your bow can.

Shurikens
These are the same weapon that Ninjas throw at you. They only deal 2 damage, but each set can be thrown 3-6 times before it is used up.
