Attack represents the percentage of normal damage a weapon causes. 100 is normal damage. Anything below 100 means less damage than normal; above 100 means greater damage than normal. E.g. A weapon with 150 attack would deal 30 damage on a hit that normally does 20 damage, 50% more than normal.
Defense represents the percentage of normal damage that a weapon will block. 100 percent is normal resistance. A higher rating will result in less damage being taken; lower ratings result in greater damage than normal. E.g. A weapon with 150 defense would reduce an attack of 20 damage to a mere 10 damage.
The attack and defense values are combined and calculated for every hit, so different weapons can make a big difference in play. Imagine the effects if your opponent has a weapon with 150 attack and you wield a weapon with 50 defence. Ouch!
In addition to attack and defense some weapons have special powers. Here's a quick summary of specials:
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kulutues | 100 | 100 | None. | A giant ax designed for Astaroth by the cult that created him, the heretical order of Fygul Cestemus. It carries the blessing of their priests, but to a non-member attempting to use it, that blessing acts as a curse. It is Astaroth's preferred weapon and is very well-balanced. |
| 2 | War Hammer | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | Used on the battlefield since ancient times, it is effective against helmets and armor. It is said that it was originally developed from pickaxes and other everyday tools, but in the face of its crushing blows its history is irrelevant. In the hands of a strong warrior, it can yield even greater damage. |
| 3 | Terror Moon | 100 | 70 | Takes chip damage. | It was originally called the Moon of Fortune, but each successive owner died a horrible death one after another, and now no one dares to touch it. At some point, it gained its current name. This cursed blade has the ability to slip right through an opponents guard. On the other hand, its decorative design makes it somewhat frail. |
| 4 | Battle Ax | 70 | 130 | None. | An ordinary ax modified for use in combat. Its sturdiness far exceeds that of a sword, but its weight limits those who can wield it. It can easily stand up to the impact of an opponent's weapon, but it has not been well cared for an is not particularily sharp. |
| 5 | Great Maul | 120 | 100 | None. | A giant wooden hammer used primarily in castle assaults to smash open gates. For anyone tha tpossesses the strength to swing it repeatedly, it can also be used in combat. It is far sturdier than any ordinary weapon. |
| 6 | Tabar | 120 | 100 | Hits dealt are counters. Takes chip damage. | An Indian battle ax with a large crescent blade. The ax heads of tabars often come in unusual shapes and it is said that no two look alike. Its heavy ax head yields powerful blow, but it is not well-suited to guarding against attacks. |
| 7 | Nanbanfu | 130 | 100 | Takes chip damage. | "Nanban" mean "Europe", but the construction of this ax and its decorations indicate that it is more likely of Asian design. It was probably given its name to indicate that it is a European-style ax. Its weight gives it high attack power, but in turn, it also transmits the shock of an opponent's blow directly to its wielder |
| 8 | Bulova | 100 | 100 | Gains health during Soul Charge. Loses health on attack. | A type of battle ax used in the highlands of East India. It excels at dismembering foes. This ax is gigantic and requires great strength to wield. It has been enhanced with magic power and apparently grants increased life-force to the one that holds it. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 120 | 100 | Loses health constantly. | An evil balde with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known as a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It possesses a destructive power like that of no other weapon, but it also consumes the soul of its wielder. |
| 10 | Thanatos | 100 | 140 | Gains health on hits. Cannot block. | A giant scythe wielded by Death. Thanatos is the personification of death in Greek mythology. This soul-harvesting weapon could indeed be described as death incarnate. It was originally designed to be used by the angel of death, who had no reason to fear injury, and thus is not constructed to provide any defense. |
| 11 | Rock | 80 | 80 | None. | A rock attached to a stick. It is a very primitive weapon, but as heavy as it is, its damage-dealing ability should not be underestimated. it looks somewhat silly, so it may lead many opponents into letting down their guard. |
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Omega Sword and Nemea Shield | 100 | 100 | None. | A sword and shield once used by Cassandra's older sister, Sophitia. The set was made from holy ore received from the ancient Greek god of the forge, Hephaestus. After Sophitia returned from her journey, they were reverently placed in an ancient shrine. They were made with great care and provide a well-balanced combination of offense and defense. |
| 2 | Spiked Shield | 130 | 100 | None. | A weapon that consists of a spike added onto the centre of a shield. This spike is quite effective for offense, but it lowered its defensive capabilities. |
| 3 | Dark Blade | 100 | 60 | Deals chip damage. | A long sword with an elegant black blade. At one point, a group of people that assassinated a tyrant left these swords at the crime scene as a mark of justice. Even now, it is sometimes used by assassins under the cover of darkness. By soaking the blade in poison for extended periods of time, the attack capabilities of the sword have been increased. It was not designed, however, for defensive use. |
| 4 | Metesashi | 75 | 130 | None. | A type of Japanese short sword. Carried on the opposite hip from a katana, it was used in close quarters on the battlefield in situations where drawing a katana would be difficult. It allows quick movements, but is designed only to finish off an enemy and is lacking in damage-dealing power. |
| 5 | Spine Blade | 130 | 100 | Short reach. Deals chip damage. | A sword designed to cause devastating wounds. The comb-like blade opens numerous wounds with teh small gap between each tooth. This king of wound heals extremely poorly. In addition, the claw-like blade can work through an opponent's guard and effective deliver damage. |
| 6 | Katzbalger | 100 | 70 | Soul Charge raises attack to 150 (no fade). | A sword with an S--shaped hand guard designed to be hung from clothes or belts. The name "Katzbalger" came from a colloquial word that means "used for fighting." As appropriate for a weapon used by those that are quick to fight, it is designed to allow quick and agile movements. |
| 7 | Red Crystal Rod and Red Line Shield | 100 | 100 | Gains health constantly. | A staff and shield said to have been used by a hero and priestess in ancient Babylonia. Lending credence to that story are the many accounts from those who have used them, which tell of the healing powers the items possess. But compared to modern weapons, they are somewhat difficult to hold, and thus may be somewhat weak at blocking attacks. |
| 8 | Ivan the Terrible | 100 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Long reach. Soul Charge raises attack to 150 (fades). | A sword and shield used by the soldiers of Ivan the Terrible to conquer the Grand Duchy of Moscow. These items, the source of terror for the people of the land, were referred to by the same name as their emperor. Their fearsome design would likely wound their wielder if one was not accustomed to using them. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 162 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Hits dealt are counters. | An evil balde with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known as a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It boasts fearsome attack power, but in return demands the life of its wielder. |
| 10 | Valkyrie | 135 | 130 | Gains health constantly. Takes chip damage. | A divine sword and shield bearing the name of the maidens of war from Northern European mythology. They are said to have been left behind on earth by one of the maidens when she descended from heaven. It is said that one who wields them will be filled with courage and that their true potential will shine forth, but mere humans cannoth make full use of their real power. |
| 11 | Memorial Sword | 80 | 80 | None. | A sword forged by Sophitia's husband, the blacksmith Rothion, when he was still an apprentice. Apparently, someone used it in an outburst of anger, as it is quite heavily damaged. It's not much of a weapon, but perhaps that will cause opponents to let down their guard. |
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Soul Edge & Nirvana | 100 | 100 | None. | The fragments of Soul Edge inside Cervantes's body acted through his sword to consume souls and eventually took on the form of a new sword. Nirvana has a pistol built into it and is an extremely unusual weapon. They are balanced weapons but pale in power compared to the real cursed sword itself. |
| 2 | Falchion | 120 | 130 | None. | A curved, single-edge sword used in Europe from the Dark Ages up through the Renaissance. The blade is wide, heavy, and is good at splitting thhings in two. Its sturdiness also works well defensively, and is unlikely to break from normal blows. |
| 3 | Firangi | 100 | 100 | Gains health constantly. | A sword used many times in the past by invaders that troubled the Mughal Empire. It is unique to this region, but its design looks very Western. It has a sharp blade, but the grip does not fit Cervantes' hand very well. |
| 4 | Erlang's Blade | 100 | 100 | Long reach. | Also called a tri-point double-edged sword, its name comes from teh Chinese hero-god, Erlang. It is actually a pole weapon, but Cervantes cut short the handle in order to make it easier to hold. It has a good reach, but because it is not as long as it was designed to be, the balance is poor. |
| 5 | Acheron | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140. Takes chip damage. | A long sword that lay in storage along with Nirvana on Cervantes's flagship, the Adrian. Cervantes used this sword for a period of time before reviving Soul Edge. It is good for both offense and defense. But when blocking an opponent's blow, the shock is fierce, which takes its toll on the wielder's body. |
| 6 | Phlegethon | 100 | 100 | Deals chip damage. Short reach. | Flames run along the blade when this sword strikes a target, and it is said that there is no forge on earth that can melt it. Soon after being found near the crater of Mount Etna, it was taken by someone and disappeared, leaving only rumors behind. Its deadly flames would surely take their toll on any opponent. |
| 7 | Cocytus | 130 | 100 | Loses health on hits. | An ancient sword dug up out of the permafrost. It is always cold and causes freezing burns in those it wounds. Because of its constant low temperature, droplets of water appear on its surface and fall to the ground like tears, giving it the additional name of the Crying Sword. As one would expect from its cold temperature, it is unaffected by the state of its wielder's heart. |
| 8 | Styx | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 150 (fades). | Also known as the Sword of Oaths, it has a curved blade with a hook at the tip. An oath sworn upon this blade is treated as more important than anything else, and breaking that oath is the most shameful act a person can commit. it is said that the one who wields the Styx becomes as a servant of the gods and can outrun the wind. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 140 | 100 | Loses health constantly. Gains health on hits. | An evil balde with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. it is a fearsome evil force that consumes all life around it, enemy and ally alike. |
| 10 | Lethe | 150 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. | Legendary twin sword. Those who grip these weapons finds their heart rendered blank, unable to even remember who they are. They hae acted as the final trap that put an end to many a quest. Those who wield this weapon are said to unleash its power by burning away their own lives. |
| 11 | Imitation Sword | 80 | 80 | None | Wooden swords carved by Cervantes after being revived. They are made of high quality wood and craved with great care. They are not particularily useful as weapons, but perhaps because of this, they might lead opponents to let down their guard. |
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Valentine (Ivy Blade) | 100 | 100 | None. | A living sword created by the alchemist, Ivy, for the purpose of destroying Soul Edge. Ironically, she used the power of Soul Edge in the creation of this very weapon. Perhaps because of her cursed blood, this is the weapon best balanced for Ivy. |
| 2 | Mirage Blade | 60 | 100 | None. | It looks like an ordinary blade at first glance, but its movements are ever-changing. It is said that this weapon is hard to defend against, as it seems like an illusion. No one knows whether or not it actually exists, however, so the sword is true to its name--an illusion. |
| 3 | Wiseman Mace | 100 | 55 | Gains health on attacks. | A defensive weapon spoken of in a journal said to have been left behind by the famous Roman sage and poet, Virgil. It resembles a mace with a handle split into multiple parts and can theoretically be manipulated with an incredible degree of freedom. There is space inside for the purpose of inserting medicinal plants, and doing so is said to bring strength to the wielder. |
| 4 | Dream Blade | 100 | 100 | Deals chip damage. | Records show that this weapon was conceived and built during ancient times. Its blade contains multiple joints, and each joint is connected with iron wires. This design allows it to be used as both a sword and a whip, making it extremely difficult to guard against. But on the other hand, the blade is relatively frail. |
| 5 | Chained Flail | 135 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. | While its outward appearance is that of a spiked-ball mace, it is in fact an experimental weapon with a multi-jointed handle. Its reach combined with the destructive power of the heavy ball make it a devastating weapon, but wielding it is extremely difficult, and it is said to have caused more damage to allies than it has to enemies. It is considered a complete failure. |
| 6 | Viper Edge | 130 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 183. | A legendary sword that is sad to move freely like a snake. One theory holds that it is actually alive, but educated sages have stated that the idea of a living sword is nothing more than a myth. Its undulating, whip-like blade can take advantage of cetrifugal force to increase its impact, but it is somewhat fragile and not suited to blocking heavy blows. |
| 7 | Alraune | 120 | 125 | Takes chip damage. | Resembling a rose, the Alraune is a spiked whip used for torture. It bears that name of a mysterious plant that is said to grow from earth that has absorbed the blood of executed criminals. The numerous thorns increase its damage potential as well as its sturdiness, but can also hurt the wielder. |
| 8 | Demon Tail | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | A sword that belonged to a woman named Philnnion, who, after her death, was later rumored to be a witch. According to the rumors, she could summon and control demons, receiving this sword from one as proof of its loyalty. It is sadi that the stronger the mind of the wielder, the brighter it shines. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 120 | 100 | Loses health constantly. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It is said that it increases its power and sharpness as it feeds on living beings. |
| 10 | Kaleidoscope | 100 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Deals chip damage. | A legendary sword said to have existed since the world was made, and destined to continually change its form until the world ends. Many have sought it throughout history, but no one has ever reported seeing it, and currently it is thought that it may actually have been a metaphor for thunder clouds. The legend that one who grips it will be burned supports this theory as well. |
| 11 | Prototype Ivy Blade | 80 | 80 | None. | One of many experimental versions created by Ivy in the process of designing Valentine. This one was created before she began to make use of black magic, and it is based on mechanical principles. It's not very much of a weapon, but perhaps it might cause opponents to let down their guard. |
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kali-Yuga | 100 | 100 | None. | One of the three treasures of the Ling-Sheng Su temple, it absorbs and accumulates power irrespective of whether that power is good or evil. After the night in which the temple was destroyed by the Evil Seed, it became filled with evil energy and now must be carried at all times by Kilik, who can control the evil influence. He has trained with it for many year and it is his most balanced weapon. |
| 2 | Quarterstaff | 100 | 130 | Short reach. | A simple wooden staff made of oak. It is inexpensive and easily mass-produced and thus used commonly by armies in Central Europe. It has the sturdiness one would expect from its simple design. |
| 3 | Ling-Sheng Su Bo | 100 | 100 | Long reach. | A staff from the Lin-Sheng Su Temple, famous for its high-level martial artists. Now that the history of Ling-Sheng has ended due to the Evil Seed, there is hardly anyone left that can wield this staff. The staff-fighting techniques of Ling-Sheng Su are extremely advanced, and are especially good at disarming an opponent. |
| 4 | Iron Staff | 130 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. | An iron staff. Originally created for training purposes, it served well as a weapon to those with the strength to wield it, and was eventually intentionally made for use as a weapon. Its weight allows it to deliver crushing blows, but at the same time it can quickly exhaust its wielder. |
| 5 | Kunlun Bamboo | 100 | 100 | Gains health on attacks. | A staff made of bamboo which grows in the sacred Kunlun Mountains of western China. At first glance it appears to be a normal bamboo staff, but because it grows in sacred ground, it yields power to its wielder. Unfortunately, since it has not been modified for use as a weapon, it is not suited for stopping an opponent's blows. |
| 6 | Rokushakubo | 100 | 80 | Hits taken are counter. Long reach. | Staves are used as weapons throughout the world. Among those used in Japan, a staff that reaches from the ground up past its users ears is called a rokushakubo. Its length allows attack from a distance, but on the other hand, if the opponent is able to move in close, it is difficult to react effectively with it. |
| 7 | Amud | 135 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Deals chip damage. | A weapon constructed entirely of metal, originating from the Mughal Empire of India. The word "amud" means "pillar" in Arabic. Its weight allows it to cause damage even when guarded, but it also requires quite a lot of stamina to wield. |
| 8 | Duel Rod | 100 | 70 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). Long reach. | A staff created expressly for dueling competitions. It is artfully decorated and is said to have killed many in the contests in which it has been used. Regardless of its external beauty, it is still a deadly weapon. Its flexible material makes it well-suited for delivering sharp blows, but poorly suited for defense. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 140 | 100 | Loses health constantly. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It is an awesome, powerful weapon, but one that devours its wielder. |
| 10 | Jingu Staff | 100 | 70 | Takes chip damage. Long reach (really long). | A divine weapon, legend says that it is able to alter its length according to its length according to its wielder's will. It is said that originally it was not a weapon, but a pillar of the Dragon god's castle. Being a divine weapon, it is difficult for a human being to use it for long periods of time. |
| 11 | Bamboo Staff | 80 | 80 | None. | An unmodified bamboo shaft. It was sold labeled as Kunlum bamboo, which caught Kilik's attention. He decided to buy it after much consideration, but unfortunately, it turned out to be fake. It's really not of much use as a weapon, but it might cause opponents to let down their guard. |
| Weapon | Att | Def | Special | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Soryuju | 100 | 100 | None. | A nunchaku that Maxi created when he set out once again on a mission of revenge. The name means "Gathering of Revived Dragons," and presumably it indicates his determination to avenge his crew. Since he made it himself, it is well-balanced and exceedingly easy to handle. |
| 2 | Tetsuryu | 70 | 100 | None. | A nunchaku consisting of nothing more than two iron bars chained together. It was created for sheer offensive power. Unfortunately, because it is difficult to grip, it is hard to make full use of the destructive power it can deliver. |
| 3 | Chained Kozuka | 100 | 70 | None | Two short swords, each with a short blade and long hilt, connected with thread. It was originally conceived by a street performer as a prop for use in acrobatics. It definitely lacks the sturdiness of a real weapon. |
| 4 | Fatibal | 130 | 70 | None | Special nunchaku made of wood from the Palisander tree. It was made to match Maxi's Shissen Karihadi fighting techniques as well as the strength of his arms. Cared by one of Maxi's crew, it is the ultimate Maxi-specific weapon. It does still have the unavoidable weakness of all wooden weapons, but nevertheless, there is no other weapon that fits Maxi as well as this one. |
| 5 | Raimei | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | Nunchaku that is said to be able to generate lightning. It once belonged to the famous martial artist, Li Wang, but because he never took an apprentice, it went unused for a long period of time after his death. It is said that the wielder can increase the strength of the lightning by focussing his will. |
| 6 | Fuzoroi | 120 | 100 | None. | An unusually-shaped nunchaku with two differently-sized rods. Like a Western flail, it is used by gripping the longer end and swinging it. It appears to have been crated primarily as a foot soldier weapon. Its weight balance is poor, and using it to defend against attacks is difficult. |
| 7 | Modified Flail | 100 | 100 | Takes chip damage. Long reach. | A European weapon consisting of a long rod chained to a short rod with an attached point. It is swung while gripping the longer stuck. This particular one is an experimental weapon created by Maxi by cutting down the size of the longer end to convert it into a nunchaku. Since it was not designed to be used this way, if not handled skillfully it will injure the wielder instead. |
| 8 | Falcon | 100 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | A modified nunchaku with a blade on each end. Its damage-dealing ability is greatly incread, but in turn, it requires great skill to handle. Li Long, a Chinese martial artist, was famous for using this weapon. It is said that its sharpness increases in proportion to its wielder's strength of will. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 130 | 100 | Loses health constantly. Takes chip damage. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shift--which form it takes depends on its current owner. the forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. Not only does it promise death to one's opponent, it threatens the life of its wielder as well. |
| 10 | Vajra | 180 | 100 | Cannot block. | The vajra is said to be the weapon of esoteric Buddhist gods and can be seeon on various Buddhist items such as statues. It is said to have the power to destroy the enemies of Buddha. It possesses great destructive power, but unleashing that power requires its wielder to literally fight with the dedication of a martyr. |
| 11 | Termite Snack | 80 | 80 | None. | An old nunchaku left behind in storage in Maxi's home of Shuri in Ryukyu. It is believed that these are the very first nunchaku he used when he began his training. It isn't very useful as a weapon, but perhaps it might cause opponents to let down their guard. |

| 1 | Shishi-Oh | 100 | 100 | None | After learning iaijitsu and other techniques to combat firearms, Mitsurugi sought a sword appropriate for a new style of fighting. he finally settled on Shishi-Oh. An incredibly well-balanced Japanese sword, it is Mitsurugi's preferred weapon. |
| 2 | Korefuji | 130 | 100 | None | This sword Mitsurugi used on his first quest for Soul Edge. Later, when he lost to firearms in an imperial court tournament, it was confiscated by his lord. Sevearl years later, that lord died, and Korefuji went missing. Even now after countless battles, it remains as sharp as ever. |
| 3 | Two-Handed Sword | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | A Western sword with a beautiful wave-patterned blade. In constrast to its appearance, it is actually a very effective weapon. Its design, which at first glance appears to be decorative, actually acts to widen inflicted wounds. This also makes it somewhat weak against blows, however. |
| 4 | Shamshir | 100 | 80 | Long reach. Hits taken are counters. | A curved sword from Persia. Its name means "lion's tail". Its long blade and gripped, loosely curved hilt make it effective in combat, but using it skillfully requires experience. |
| 5 | Basilard | 100 | 130 | Short reach. | A type of short sword used widely in Europe. It is an all-purpose blade used not only in battle, but also in cooking, manufacturing, nad other everyday activities. It is built very tough to handle frequent use. |
| 6 | Gassan | 120 | 100 | Loses health on attacks. Hits dealt are counters. | A sword forged by a Japanese sword smith named Gassan, who is said by some to have been an oni demon. It is said that the Gassan has both spiritual and demonic powers, and that it chooses who is worthy to wield it. If an unworthy warrior grips the sword, it will turn on him instead. |
| 7 | Tulwar | 100 | 65 | Deals chip damage. | A curved Indian sword. Normally, it is equipped with a knuckle-guard, but Mitsurugi considered it an annoyance and removed it. Because of this, its defensive capability has been lowered, but it is easier to apply force to the sword and deal decisive damage. |
| 8 | Masamune | 130 | 120 | None. | Masamune was a famous fourteenth century Japanese sword smith. This sword is said to have been crafted by him, but whether that is true or not is unclear. But it is such an incredibly elegant piece of work that the issue of whether or not it was made by Masamune himself feels trivial. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 150 | 100 | Loses health constantly. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known as a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. But it is true that its incredible power, unleashed by burning the soul of its wielder, is not something one can gain through normal means. |
| 10 | Damascus Sword | 175 | 150 | Cannot block. | A sword that boasts an unusual sturdiness and sharpness. The pattern on its blade, resembling the surface of water, is a characteristic of Damascus steel. Its manufacturing process is a fiercely guarded secret. It is said that its shining blade raises spirit and inspires confidence in those who wield it. |
| 11 | Souvenir Gift | 80 | 80 | None. | A man claiming to be a Japanese samurai gave this carved wooden sword to a family living in a remote part of Northern Europe. According to the man, it was a product of his homeland, but upon further investigation it was found to have been made from local wood. Because it doesn't look like a strong weapon, it may catch opponents off-guard. |

| 1 | Flambert | 100 | 100 | None. | After losing in battle and being pursued even by his former friends and family, Raphael managed to take this sword with him from the Sorel family home. The Flambert is an amazingly sharp sword rapier--Raphael continued to use the sword long after his departure from aristocracy. It is a well-balanced, easy to use weapon. |
| 2 | Epee | 100 | 130 | None. | A type of rapier with a thin blade. It was used by European nobles and knights for duels of honor, but it was uncommon for it to be used on the battlefield. Its light weight makes it difficult to knock aside enemy weapons, but it can be manipulated to keep the opponent's attacks in check. |
| 3 | Stiletto | 100 | 100 | Deals chip damage. | A sword created to deal with the advancement of plate armor. It was designed solely for the sake of piercing and was feared on teh battlefield by knights in armor. Its blade pierces through an opponent's armor and promises deep wounds. |
| 4 | Reiterpallasch | 130 | 80 | None. | A long sword used by knights in Western Europe, it excels at both piercing and cutting. Its best feature is the hilt design which protects the wielder's hand. It has a shapr edge and can easily break and opponent's defense, but it is difficult to use it to block incoming attacks. |
| 5 | Wo Dao | 135 | 100 | None. | A sword from the country of Wo. In other words, it is the Ming Dynasty era Chinese name for a Japanese sword. Most of them were used only for display, but among them were some that were actually used in battle. This wo dao is one of them. Even as far away as Europe, the sharpness and power of Japanese swords were well-known. |
| 6 | Schweizer | 100 | 100 | Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | A sword used by the Roman Empre with a point modified for piercing. It is considered to be a type of bastard sword, but it actually more closely resembles a sabre. This sword is a work of master craftsmanship that looks as if it could cut apart anything with a single full-strength blow. |
| 7 | Holy Antler | 135 | 70 | Hits dealt are counters. | A blessed sword that is said to banish eveil and protect its wielder. It was carried primarily by holy warriors for the purpose of destroying demonic monsters. It is a piercing weapon and is not suited for blocking attacks. Perhaps it was created with the idea that faith itself is the strongest defense. |
| 8 | Estoc | 100 | 50 | Long reach. Soul Charge raises attack to 140 (fades). | A sword desinged to pierce through an armoured opponent. Resembling a giant needle, it has no problem shearing chain mail and can even penetrate plate armour if properly aimed. But because it lacks a wide blade, it is not good for defense. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 140 | 130 | Loses health constantly. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It is an exceedingly powerful weapon, but it demands the wielder's soul in return. |
| 10 | Queen's Guard | 130 | 140 | Long reach. Loses health on attacks. | A legendary defensive weapon passed down through the royal family. Even now, royal guards protecting the Queen use swords with teh same name, but they are the same in name only. This particular sword forces its wielder to fight even to the death to protect whomever he has sword to protect. It also grants the power to accomplish this task. |
| 11 | Cane | 80 | 80 | None. | A favourite of gentlemen everywhere. It can even be used as a weapon in a pinch, assuming the wielder has sufficient training as a swordsman. Someone who faces an individual holding a cane and is not familiar with Western sword techniques will surely let their guard down. |

| 1 | Syi Sarika & Loka Luha | 100 | 100 | None. | A type of tonfa-like paired weapon called elbow blades, used by the wind-worshipping people of Southeast Asia in ceremonial dances.

| 2 | Wind Guide | 100 | 116 | Deals chip damage. Hits taken are counters. | A pair of elbow blades used in wind-worshipping ceremonies. They are used once a year in the dance to welcome the wind that circles the earth.

| 3 | Tonfa | 70 | 100 | None. | A type of weapon used in the unique martial arts of the Ryukyu Islands, a region that prospered as the midway point for trade between China and Japan. They are designed for balanced offense and defense. They have no actual blade, but can still deal powerful blows. |
| 4 | Side Harpe | 60 | 100 | Can perform SCUB with level 2 Soul Charge. | There is an ancient Grecian sickle-sword known as a harpe, but these blades are far removed from that weapon.

| 5 | Double Crescent Blade | 130 | 130 | Soul Charge raises attack to 180 (fades). | Unusual weapons consisting of two overlapping crescent blades. They were uncovered as burial treasure in an ancient grave. The name Double Crescent Blade was given to them by a later owner; their real names are unknown. On top of their sturdy construction and sharp blade, they respond to their wielder's fighting spirit and become even heavier and sharper. |
| 6 | Chaqu | 130 | 100 | Takes chip damage. | Types of kai, a Chinese weapon. Differing from a normal kai, these have a small blade attached near the grip. The grip, blade, and everything else are all designed for efficient attacks. In exchange for their efficiency, they have little defensive capability. |
| 7 | Cao Ankana | 100 | 100 | Loses health constantly. Long reach. | Special elbow blades created for the purpose of appeasing out-of-season windstorms and lost typhoons. Unlike normal elbow blades, there is only one because the other blade is buried as part of the ritual to appease the wind. Its large size and heavy weight translate directly to high damage, but it takes stamina to wield. |
| 8 | Maila Kari | 100 | 100 | Loses health on hits. Long reach. | Ancient elbow blades that are said to generate wind when swung. They were taken from the village of the wind-deity and lost when they were transferred into the hands of a European noble. The true value of these precious treasures went unknown, and they were treated as mere decoration. They are difficult weapons to use because their wielder is constantly buffeted by the wind. |
| 9 | Soul Edge (Complete) | 140 | 70 | Gains health on hits. | An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter--which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. In addition to draining the life of its opponents, it also brings misfortune to the one who wields it. |
| 10 | Soul Calibur | 100 | 80 | Gains health on attacks. Hits taken are counters. | The spirit sword that has fought countless battles against Soul Edge behind the scenes of history, unbeknownst to man. It reacts to those of pure heart and gives its wielder the power to counter darkness. Just like the dark sword, it can change its form. It actually calls forth hope and grants vitality when its owner is in danger. |
| 11 | Weight | 80 | 80 | None. | In the village where Talim was born, children were occassionally punished by forcing them to stand for several hours while holding heavy weights created in the shape of elbow blades.
