Weapon

A Weapon is piece of Equipment used in the Battledome and Adventure. Weapons usually give Power bonuses, but can also provide other Statistic boosts, such as Toughness, Speed, Resistances to Status Effects or Elements. Under the previous battle system for Explore, Weapons and Armor gave a straight up numerical bonus to their associated statistic. This made them very powerful on low level pets, but increasingly useless as the pet became more powerful. Under the current system, Weapons give a percentage bonus based on the pet's stats. The minimum bonus is always at least 1 point. Weapons that increase a pet's strong statistics will be more beneficial than those which boost low ones.

There are several sub-categories of Weapons, Basic Weapons, Magical Weapons, and Holiday Weapons. In general Basic Weapons have basic Power boosts, Magical Weapons usually have special effects, and Holiday Weapons were distributed via special event. That said, many of the recent special event Weapons have been put into the Basic category, so there's no simple way to distinguish them.
