|---|---|---|---|
| Sword | Balanced speed, good for parry-counter chains | Usually Warrior/Hunter damage | 2 |
| Dagger | Fast strikes, low hit-stun, excellent for poison/bleed builds | Assassin damage | 2 |
| Heavy Bladed | Slow but massive damage, high shield crush | Warrior damage | 1 (unique legendary has 2) |
| Heavy Blunt | Slowest, highest stun/knockdown chance | Warrior damage | 1 |
| Spear | Long reach, sweeping attacks, good for crowd control | Warrior damage | 2 |
| Staff | Fast sweeping, high mobility, weak against shields | Hunter or Warrior | 2 |

- Quest rewards – main/side quests often reward unique weapons.
- Fallen Heroes – special mercenary drops.

Key Equipment (Story & Progression)
| Item | Description | Significance |

| Spear of Leonidas | The broken spear passed from Leonidas; start of the game. Upgraded with Ancient Tablets to reach level 6 (max). Enables 4 ability bars. | Central to the story and gear progression. Cannot be dropped. |
| Infinity Blade | Optional – rewarded for completing the “Fate of Atlantis” DLC; adds a teleport ability when broken. | Endgame DLC item; provides extra mobility. |
| The Adrestia (ship) | Your personal ship – upgrades all affect naval combat speed, health, and crew morale. | Essential for crossing seas, fighting naval battles, and accessing certain islands. |
| Forgotten Mayon’s Bow | Unique legendary bow found in a hidden chest; grants +50% burn duration for fire arrows. | Excellent for fire-based Hunter builds. |
| Hermes’ Carapace | Legendary torso armor that grants +10% movement speed and +15% All Damage when under 50% health. | Great for glass-cannon builds. |
- Spear of Leonidas: Requires 1, 2, 2, 2, 3 Ancient Tablets (total 10) from tombs. Cannot be upgraded by level – it scales with story progress.
- Ship upgrades: Spend drachmae and Ship Timber at shipwrights. Prioritize hull and ram for early-game success.

- Koru's Bow – Legendary bow from Oikos; +40% fire damage.

Important Synergies & Build Tips
1. Fire/Poison Hybrid: Use a weapon with a base fire or poison perk (e.g., Sword of Damocles) + the complementary coating + the “Omega” engraving from Ostraka. Works best with Warrior abilities.
2. Assassin Sneak Build: Daggers with +Assassin damage, full Pirate set, and mastery in stealth. Use “Shadow of Nyx” ability to remain invisible. Stack extra hunter damage for long-range assassinations.
3. Hunter Crit Build: Legendary Bow (“Master of the Hunt” from Artemis), plus full crit chance engravings on armor. Use abilities like “Ghost Arrows of Artemis” and “Predator Shot.”
4. Elemental Resistance Tank: Torso with +Armor, pair with the “Greek Hero” set and an engraving that reduces elemental damage. Ideal for boss fights.
