Weapons must be equipped in the weapon slot of the character. If the character is using a gauntlet one weapon can be used with both hands for extra damage, and if the character is using a genji glove one weapon can be placed in each hand. Using the Merit Award relic makes more weapons equippable for everyone.

Common weapons

Knives

Dirks in general are particular to Locke or Shadow, although some can be used by Relm/Gogo, and some can be used by anyone. Many Dirks cause various status effects, too.

Swords

Swords are particular to Terra, Locke, Edgar, and Celes, with Locke being unable to equip some swords. The most powerful weapons in the game are swords so you may choose to rely on these characters more than usual.

Spears

Lances are particular to Edgar and Mog. Combine a Lance with Dragoon Boots and Dragon Horn for some serious brutality. Equip the Imp Halberd to any character in "Imp" status for beautiful results.

Rods

Rods are particular to Strago, Relm, and Gogo. Many of them can cause particular spells and can also be used as an item for a spell casting.

Maces

One mace is specific for Gogo, others can be used by four more characters.

Character-specific weapons

Thief's boomerangs

Special weapons bear a "diamond" icon. Acting like Boomerangs or Morningstars, Specials are most often used by Locke. Damage is not affected by row for these weapons, so don't forget to place characters equipping them in the back row.

Ninja's knives, shurikens and scrolls

Weapons unique to Shadow.

Samurai's katana

Katanas are particular to Cyan, who must use them for Swordtechs. Not sure why they're called "knives" in the SNES version, as they appear to be longer than most of the swords in the game.

Monk's claws

Weapons unique to Sabin.

Gambler's items

These weapons are particular to Setzer. Damage is not affected by row for these weapons. Dice weapons deal damage based on the numbers achieved on a throw. Claws are particular to Sabin.

Pictomancer's brushes

Brushes are particular to Relm. As "Sketch" and "Control" are decidedly worthless, take my advice and don't bother equipping brushes. Use a Rod instead

Berserker's club

Umaro's bone club is always equipped and cannot be removed from his hands.

Feral youth's bare hands

Gau fights without using any weapon.
