Weapons of Super Dungeon Tactics

Bring the attack to enemies in 9 different ways through the weapons in Super Dungeon Tactics! Each weapon offers a unique base attack creating a huge amount of versatility. Heroes have two weapon proficiencies and no hero shares the same combination.

Weapons have several key components that make up their overall capability. These include number of attacks, damage, range, area of effect, and status effects. Of these, area of effect, is one that really pushes the strategy element since maximizing damage of some weapons requires planning for and finding the right opportunity. While sometimes challenging to line up the perfect attack, when you take out a whole group of kobolds in a single swing it is incredibly satisfying!

Throughout the game, enemies will drop many different kinds of loot with weapons being one of these. Weapons are found in three rarities, common, rare, and mystic along with some uniques that break from the standard offerings. Typically for weapons, rare provides an additional status effect like poison or fire while mystic alters the base stats like range or area of effect.

While the weapons are described from the hero's point of view, keep in mind that all weapons can also be used by enemies!
