Weapon Special Effects

Each weapon comes with varying Special Effects to further add to its functionality. These are divided into two categories: Martial Arts and Weapon Traits.

Martial Arts - Martial Arts are special active abilities that deal heavy damage to opponents at the expense of the Spirit Gauge. These moves are typically very flashy, and some have extra properties, such as adding a dodge, countering certain attacks, or allowing the player to disengage after dealing damage. Each Melee Weapon has at least one Martial Arts skill which is randomly chosen based on the weapon type, with higher Rarity weapons having up to two. All Martial Arts are randomized for looted Weapons. Ranged Weapons and Thrown Weapons do not have Martial Arts.

Weapon Traits - Weapons can also have special Weapon Traits, which are passive bonuses that modify various Stats or add more functionality to their attacks, such as boosting the damage dealt by basic combos or improving critical hit chances in varying situations. A weapon's Rarity determines the number of traits it can have, with the rarest weapons having more traits at once compared to more common weapons. All traits are randomized for looted Weapons.

Weapon Properties

Each weapon has several properties that make them more or less effective in varying combat situations:

Attack Power - Affects how much HP the enemy loses when hit with the weapon. This value is affected by the weapon's scaling according to the Five Phases and how much you've invested in each Virtue.
Base Attack - The Base Attack Power of the weapon. This is the base value that is modified by your Virtue investment and the weapon's Virtue Scaling to generate the Attack Power stat.
Spirit Attack - Affects how much Spirit an enemy loses when hit with the weapon.
Sustain Break - Affects how much Spirit an enemy loses when hit with the weapon while they are guarding.
Sustain - Affects how much Spirit the player loses while guarding against attacks with the weapon.

Weapon Rarity

As with all Items and Equipment in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Weapons come with varying Rarity, a stat denoted by a Star Rating as follows:

One Star - Common
Two Star - Rare
Three Star - Epic
Four Star - Legendary

In general, the higher a weapon's Rarity, the better it is. Rarer weapons tend to have two Martial Arts skills and more Weapon Traits with higher values. Rarity will typically not affect a weapon's parameters, only the amount of Special Effects it can have.

Weapon Upgrade

Aside from Rarity, Weapons can have Upgrade Levels that improve their parameters. Upgrade Levels typically improve a Weapon's Virtue Scaling but may also increase other base stats. For example, a Bronze Sword +2 will have higher scaling for one or more Virtues compared to a standard Bronze Sword. Weapons can be upgraded at the blacksmith in exchange for money and materials.

Weapon Switching

Players can simultaneously equip up to two sets each for Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, and Thrown Weapons and switch between them even while in combat. The controls to perform this is as follows:

Melee Weapons - R2 + Up or Down on the D-Pad (Playstation) / RT + Up or Down on the D-Pad (Xbox).
Ranged and Thrown Weapons - R2 + Left or Right on the D-Pad (Playstation) / RT + Left or Right on the D-Pad (Xbox).
