Weapons Guide

Echoes of Aincrad offers six weapon types. Each earns Weapon Exp, unlocks Sword Skills, and can be changed in Town of Beginnings between quests. No tier ranking or best-weapon recommendation is made on this page.

Six Weapon Types

Weapon Exp and Sword Skills

Defeating enemies with a weapon type earns Weapon Exp and unlocks Sword Skills for that type. Up to three Sword Skills can be equipped at a time.

Switching Weapons

Weapons can be changed between quests while in the Town of Beginnings. See the Build System for how EX-MOD customisations carry across weapon changes.

Weapon Proficiency in the Demo

The Demo caps Weapon Proficiency at level 3. The full game's ceiling is not yet confirmed. See the Demo Guide for Demo limits.

Combat Actions

The official guide describes light, heavy, and special attacks, parries, and evasion as core weapon actions that consume Stamina or SP.
