Choosing weapons
- Your weapon type determines the attacks and combos available in combat. Weapon types offer different combinations of ranged and melee attacks. Characters can develop more than one weapon type; choose based on the attacks you want to use and your combat role.
Costume equipment
- Costume pieces contribute character statistics. Role and character-level requirements can restrict which pieces you can equip. Compare usable equipment separately from its visual style when choosing upgrades.
Other item types
- Inventory items serve several purposes beyond equipped armor and weapons. Trinkets and consumables can assist in combat, collection items contribute to sets, and base items provide decoration. Currency and crafting materials have separate progression uses.
Weapon types
- The source lists Bow, Brawling, Dual Pistols, Dual Wield, Hand Blaster, Martial Arts, One-Handed, Rifle, Shield, Staff, and Two-Handed. For cross-weapon combos, see the Weapon Mastery guide. Check current in-game access requirements for restricted weapon types.
