A '''weapon''' is an item whose primary purpose is to deal [[damage]]. Base weapons each have innate properties such as damage, critical strike chance, speed, and requirements. Sometimes they come with special modifiers such as a [[#wand|wand's]] increased spell damage. [[Magic]], [[Rare]], and [[Unique]] weapons come with modifiers from the [[Item affix#Prefixes|Prefix]] and [[Item affix#Suffixes|Suffix]]. Mods can give bonuses to the weapon or to the exile wielding it. Weapons are split into eight different categories.
'''Weapons''' are a category of [[equipment]] that are equipped to deal [[damage]] with [[attacks]] or provide various [[affix|modifiers]] that modify a character's damage.

===Swapping Weapons===
Characters can equip two sets of weapons, and switch between them through a keybind for [[weapon swap]]ping.
Characters can use a different weapon(s) on a [[weapon swap]].


{{Navbox Weapons}}
All weapons have certain base stats: [[physical damage]], [[critical strike chance]], [[attack speed]]. These can be directly modified with [[local]] modifiers. Additionally, [[melee]] weapons have [[weapon range]]s, which affect the distance from which they can physically [[strike]] enemies.


Weapons may be of a certain archetype:
* Attack weapon: only rolls local modifiers for [[attack]]s.
** [[Warstaves]] are an example of an attack weapon subcategory.
* Caster weapon: can roll both attack and [[spell]] modifiers.
** [[Rune dagger]]s are an example of a caster weapon subcategory.
* Summoner/minion weapon: can roll attack, spell, and [[minion]] modifiers.

Please help improve this article if you can.

Weapons are a category of equipment that are equipped to deal damage with attacks or provide various modifiers that modify a character's damage.

Characters can equip two sets of weapons, and switch between them through a keybind for weapon swapping.

All weapons have certain base stats: physical damage, critical strike chance, attack speed. These can be directly modified with local modifiers. Additionally, melee weapons have weapon ranges, which affect the distance from which they can physically strike enemies.

Weapons may be of a certain archetype:

  • Attack weapon: only rolls local modifiers for attacks.
    • Warstaves are an example of an attack weapon subcategory.
  • Caster weapon: can roll both attack and spell modifiers.
  • Summoner/minion weapon: can roll attack, spell, and minion modifiers.
