Summary
Throughout your adventure across Fevertih inUnicorn Overlord, you will find a wide array of weapons for your allies and recruitable mercenaries. Some weapons are part of a set that offers the same stat bonuses and abilities, while others are unique to the characters that bear them.
Unfortunately, the weapons of Unicorn Overlord don’t have a unique look or appearance during combat. Despite that, they are still vital to watch out for due to their bonus to attack power and some of the abilities they offer. There are five different categories of weapons to equip, and they’redistinct for specific classesand characters.
10Viperfang
The Venomous Touch
Viperfangs are a special blade you can obtain in the Cornia chapterof the game by defeating Gammel for the first time or purchasing from the armorer. Viperfangs can be equipped by thieves, fighters, and other sword-wielding classes in your units.
No matter the glancing blow or attack, the Viperfang’s Poison Slash can inflict the poison status on any enemies they attack. If the status isn’t removed, the damage hits before the enemy attack, and if it’s potent enough, it’s an easy way to take out wizards and other lightly armored units. It also pairs well with other rebuffing abilities thieves can use.
9Flame Bow
Seething Arrows
The flame bow is easy to claim in the early sections of the Cornia missions for the Liberation. The first one you can get could be from saving Sharon with Ochlys’s help against Mandrin.
This bow fires a flame arrow, inflicting the Burn effect on enemies. If enough damage is done, the Burn can finish off the opponent before they get a chance to strike back. Having a hunter wield this bow combined with the thief or fighter wielding the Viperfang is a good strategy to pick off ailment-weak enemies.
8Nameless Guard’s Bow
Aim True
This bow has the Eagle Eye passive ability. This helps give your hunter or arbalist a guaranteed accurate shot no matter how evasive your enemy is. The bow also has blindness immunity, making it impossible for thieves or shamans to cast the debilitating spell to weaken your archers.
Even elves that cast Sylphic Barrier or Gryphon Riders that use the Gryphon Glide are still susceptible to the bow’s passive abilities.
7Valkyrie’s Partisan
A Piercing Strike
This spear can use Passive Shatter, an ability that allows the wielder to stab through a column of enemies. Along with causing damage to mutlple enemies, the Shatter ability helps in removing one of the PPs for units to take advantage of.
This gives them less opportunity to use passive abilities in battle. Soldiers, Legionnaires, and Werefoxes are good units to give these spears to.
6Sanguine Axe
A Healing Blow
The Sanguine Axe is a fearsome, heavy-hitting weapon that targets a single opponent. The hardest-hitting of the Sanguine weapons, the Axe can deliver a strong attack that also heals the wielder for half the damage it causes.
Shielded units with tough fortitude, like Dark Knights, Vikings, and Berengia, the Dark Marquess, can take full advantage of this Axe’s special ability to heal half of the damage.
5Stingray
More Actions With A Strike
Blood-red rapier swords that can do more than just strike critical damage to enemy units, the Stingray has the passive ability of Artenie Strike, which can give the wielder additional passive ability usage if the enemy struck by this sword is defeated in one hit.
The Stingray is a great weapon to equip forSwordfighters and their promotions, the Swordmasters,who can combine the effect of this weapon with their hastened strikes. It also means that they would be able to parry more physical attacks.
4Spiked Hammer
Spiked Smashers
This is a formidable hammer that can hit enemies multiple times in a single hit with the Spiked blow. Enemies weak to the Warrior’s powerful attacks are more susceptible to being completely wiped out by the power of this attack.
Interestingly, when you promote your Warriors to be Breakers, their base weapon changes to be similar to the small description of the Spiked Hammers you can equip them with.
3Giant’s Greataxe
Clobbering Row Of Foes
The Giant’s Greataxe is a formidable weapon made for the Gladiator and Berserker units in your army. With the special ability Heavy Smash, you can damage or even wipe out an entire row of enemies.
Strategically, this is perfect, especially in formations where enemies have a good setup in the front and back rows, decimating supporting units and hard-hitting melee enemies as well. The Giant’s Greataxe also adds to the total health of the unit the cost of full initiative.
2Helix Spear
Spearing Their Defenses
The Helix Spear is the best spear weapon for Calvary, Soldiers, Hoplites, and Legionnaires. Their special attack is Penetrate, which damages enemies in a column. Enemies struck by the attack all suffer a debuff to their physical defense, leaving them vulnerable to the rest of your units.
The Helix Spear also adds to your unit’s Guard Rate, making them better weapons to pair with shielded classes.
1Dragoon’s Warspear
Flying Into Carnage
The Dragoon’s Warspear is the best weapon for Wyvern Knights and Wyvern Masters and when push comes to shove, they are the most devastating weapons in Unicorn Overlord. Once the attack commences, the Wyvern riders will charge up their strength.
Once that’s done, they’ll soar into the air and slam onto the field, damaging all enemy units regardless of column or row. It takes a few turns to charge this attack, so your rider should be safer in the back row, which is guarded by shielded units.
