What we know

Nintendo’s Direct recap lists swords, gauntlets, spears, axes, bows and magic. Collected materials can be used to enhance weapons at the Shopping Arcade; the full recipes, costs and durability-repair rules are not documented. Nintendo describes five Beginner classes and over ten Specialty classes; the nine named examples here are not the complete roster.

Confirmed weapon-level information

Weapons are an equipment category used in tactical combat, and their type can affect effectiveness against enemy classes. Combat Arts consume weapon durability. Spears are described as effective against cavalry, while magic is effective against heavily armored units. Nintendo’s Direct recap adds that gauntlets aid evasion, axes trade accuracy for attack power, bows strike at range, and magic can be effective against armored foes or heal and support allies. It also shows unique weapons such as lightning swords and firearm-like gauntlets.

Documented categories and interactions

The October 15 Expansion Pass product page now names four prototype weapons, listed below. Other spell, consumable, quest-item and material names still require their own evidence; visual resemblance alone does not establish an identity.

Visually inferred artifacts

Press coverage reports weapons or objects that appear to contain Crest Stone-like elements and identifies visual similarities to Hero’s Relics. These observations do not confirm item names, origins, powers, or that every similar object uses the same lore as equipment in Three Houses.

Still to be revealed

• Whether the six disclosed attack categories are the complete weapon taxonomy.
• A complete named-weapon roster beyond the four DLC prototypes below.
• Magic schools, spell lists, and casting costs.
• Durability maximums and repair methods.
• Weapon-enhancement recipes, material costs and any additional crafting systems.
• Consumable healing items.
• Certification items.
• Keys and quest objects.
• Resource names and rarity tiers.
• Inventory capacity and convoy rules.
• Trading between the four hero parties.
• Whether equipment carries between story paths.
• Item drops and steal mechanics.

Repair is now a practical early-game question

Launch reporting says the blacksmith unlocks at Renown 4 during free time and that normal attacks do not reduce durability while Combat Arts do. That makes durability a tactical budget: repair the weapons that carry your Arts, but do not spend materials just because a bench weapon is slightly worn. Source 64 ↗

The official update note also says additional Fire Emblem series weapons become available as the story progresses. Those earlier free additions need their own acquisition captures; they should not be conflated with the named paid prototypes below. Use Weapon repair, forging & item economy for the item ledger and Weapons and Combat Arts database for the record format.

Wave 1 prototype weapons

The paid Expansion Pass now supplies the following weapons. Complete the corresponding named quest from Part I, Chapter 4 onward on that hero’s path. The official product page gives the associations below; it supplies no damage, durability or forging table. Source 2 ↗ (checked October 15, 2026).

These paid prototype weapons are separate from the extra series weapons added by the older free 1.0.1 update. Kingy has not tested their acquisition or performance.
