Revision - weapons - Showa American Story Wiki

Windrose features over 61 unique weapons across multiple categories. Weapons are the primary means of dealing damage in combat and differ in damage type, attack speed, scaling attributes, rarity, and special effects. Weapons can be looted from various sources or crafted at the Weaponsmith Workshop.

Damage Types

Every weapon deals one of three damage types. Matching the right damage type to an enemy's weakness significantly improves combat effectiveness.

Damage Type	Description	Weapon Categories
Slash	Cutting damage effective against unarmored targets	Sabers, greatswords, two-handed swords
Pierce	Penetrating damage effective against armored targets	Rapiers, pistols, muskets, blunderbusses
Crude	Blunt damage effective against undead and skeletons	Clubs, halberds

Weapon Scaling

Weapons scale with one or more of the five core character attributes from the talent system. Scaling is graded S (strongest), A, B, C, and D (weakest). Investing attribute points into the stat a weapon scales with increases that weapon's damage output.

Agility	Sabers, greatswords, two-handed swords, blunderbusses

Rarity Tiers

Weapons come in four rarity tiers. Higher-rarity weapons have improved base stats and may carry unique special effects.

Rarity	Description
Common	Basic weapons with minimal stats. Found early in the game (e.g., Broken Blade, Worn-Out Pistol, Fists)
Uncommon	Standard weapons with solid baseline stats. The workhorses of mid-game (e.g., Saber, Rapier, Musket, Halberd, Club)
Rare	Weapons with one special effect. Found through exploration and dungeon loot (e.g., Razor, Soul Eater, Reliable Musket)
Epic	The strongest weapons with multiple special effects. Endgame gear (e.g., Epic Reliable Musket, Sturdy Halberd)

Melee Weapons

Sabers

Fast one-handed weapons dealing slash damage. Sabers are versatile all-rounders that scale with Agility, making them a natural fit for builds that also invest in dodge effectiveness.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Broken Blade	Common	90	195 Slash	Agility C	None
Saber	Uncommon	100	225 Slash	Agility B	None
Razor	Rare	100	245 Slash	Agility A	+10% Critical Hit Chance

Rapiers

Quick thrusting weapons dealing pierce damage. Rapiers scale with Precision and reward a patient, counter-heavy fighting style. Some rapiers widen the Perfect Block window, making them excellent for parry-focused builds.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Rapier	Uncommon	100	230 Pierce	Precision B	None

Greatswords and Two-Handed Swords

Slow, heavy weapons dealing massive slash damage per hit. Greatswords are excellent for staggering enemies and breaking guard. The Soul Eater is notable for its health drain ability.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Two-Handed Sword	Uncommon	100	300 Slash	Agility B	None
Soul Eater	Rare	100	325 Slash	Agility C	Special attack drains Health from nearby enemies (2 min cooldown)

Clubs

Blunt weapons dealing crude damage. Clubs are particularly effective against undead enemies and skeletons. They scale with Strength and are good at breaking enemy guard.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Club	Uncommon	100	240 Crude	Strength B	None

Halberds

Polearm weapons with long reach, dealing crude damage. Halberds excel at crowd control and keeping distance from enemies. The Plague Halberd applies corruption stacks for damage over time.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Halberd	Uncommon	100	310 Crude	Strength B	None
Sturdy Halberd	Epic	100	355 Crude	Strength S	+15% Critical Hit Chance, +15 base damage

Ranged Weapons

Pistols

Close-to-mid range firearms dealing pierce damage. Pistols are sidearms that complement melee weapons for finishing off enemies or pulling them from groups.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Worn-Out Pistol	Common	90	300 Pierce	Precision C	None
Pistol	Uncommon	100	360 Pierce	Precision B	None

Muskets

Long-range firearms dealing heavy pierce damage. Muskets have the highest per-shot damage in the game but reload very slowly. They scale with Precision and are best used to open fights or snipe weakpoints.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Musket	Uncommon	100	550 Pierce	Precision B	None
Reliable Musket	Rare	100	600 Pierce	Precision A	Reloads faster than standard muskets
Reliable Musket	Epic	100	600 Pierce	Precision S	Faster reload; +20% Critical Damage

Blunderbusses

Spread-fire ranged weapons effective at close range. Blunderbusses have a chance to knock enemies down at close range, making them useful for crowd control.

Name	Rarity	ATK	Damage	Scaling	Special Effect
Blunderbuss	Uncommon	100	150 Pierce	Agility D	None
Reliable Blunderbuss	Rare	100	180 Pierce	Agility C	Small chance to knock enemies down at close range
