Guide to Weapons

Hey Hunters!
Today we’re diving into the explosive world of WEAPONS! Who doesn’t enjoy unlocking the best loot? We’ll examine their unique strengths and strategies for BLASTING EVIL DUCANS!

[h2]Damage Types [/h2]

Weapons in Relic Hunters Legend offer two kinds of damage: Physical and Elemental. Each has its own unique damage effects, allowing you to optimize your attacks and exploit enemy weaknesses.

[h3]Physical Damage Types [/h3]


Physical Damage weapons take down shields with ease. There are three types of Physical Damage: Impact, Frag, and Magnetic.

Impact damage is the most common form you’ll see. They do +25% extra damage against shields and can stun some targets, helping you gain control of chaotic battles.

Frag damage causes Injury, which inflicts continuous physical damage and deals extra punishment to Health. It also boasts a +25% damage bonus against Shields, ensuring no obstacle can withstand your assault.

Magnetic damage, the rarest and most coveted type, wreaks havoc on Shields with a staggering +75% increased damage. Strikes can Silence enemies, rendering them unable to use special Skills.

[h3]Elemental Damage Type [/h3]

For those who enjoy the elements, Elemental Damage offers three types: Fire, Water, and Nature.

Fire damage inflicts Burn, gradually damaging the target over time and dealing additional harm. It also provides a +25% damage bonus against Armor.

Water damage Freezes foes, immobilizing targets and buying time to eliminate other units and heal. It also provides a +25% damage bonus against Armor.

Nature damage counters regenerative abilities, inflicting Contagion, rendering targets immune to healing from any source. It also provides a +75% damage bonus against Armor.

Choose your weapons wisely and utilize their diverse damage types to take on any challenge.

[h2]Weapon Stats [/h2]

Weapon Stats let you know how strong a weapon can be! These stats are determined by three key attributes: Tier, Affixes, and Enhancement Level. For more power, be on the lookout for weapons with a higher Tier Rarity!

Affixes provide unique gameplay stats that give extra bonuses, like Reload Speed, Skill Recovery Speed, Fire Rate, Ammo Capacity, and more! This helps you customize your gameplay and gives you some extra fighting power.
