Weapons

From the Sword to the Sacred Seal, each type has its own moves and arts. Sixty-eight named weapons each carry a unique art and a story of their own.

Three shields for the left hand, each with its own balance of blocking and parrying.

Buckler
A small, light round shield. Its block is weak, but it parries most easily of all.
Kite Shield
A kite-shaped medium shield. Balanced in block and parry.
Tower Shield
A great shield that covers the whole body. Blocks nearly everything, but cannot parry.
