Latest official clarification
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.
Documented categories and interactions
| Category or concept | Confirmed information |
|---|---|
| Weapons | Selected and managed as part of tactical preparation. |
| Spears | Effective against cavalry in the official gameplay explanation. |
| Magic | Effective against heavily armored units. |
| Weapon durability | Consumed by Combat Arts. |
| Equipment shops | Available in Dagsion between matches. |
| Resources | Gathered through wider Dagdan exploration and dungeons. |
| Treasure | Dungeons can provide treasure. |
No specific individual weapon, spell, consumable, key item, resource, or treasure name is established in the reviewed material. Apparent weapons shown in footage should not be assigned names based on resemblance to equipment from another game.
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.
