* Witcher Steel and Silver Sword: This is the standard sword equipment for every witcher. Steel sword is made out of meteorite steel and it's so sharp that it can cut through steel platted Armour. It is commonly used against humans and wild animals. The Silver Sword is more fragile but it's really effective against monsters and supernatural entities as it ignores durability. Contrary to popular belief the blade it's not entirely made out of silver, only the edges are covered in a thin silver lining while the blade is made out of meteorite steel.

* Witcher Armour: Witcher armors are really light and durable which perfectly coincides with witcher's combat style and movement. Each witcher school possesses a unique type of witcher armor 
* Witcher Medallions: A witcher medallion is a silver symbol of the witchers' profession. Each one is shaped to represent the school a witcher comes from. It is sensitive to magic, vibrating, and tugging on its chain when spells are being cast or magical beings, like genies, are present. This magic medallion is given to every young witcher candidate who has passed the Trial of the Grasses.
* Dagger: Used by witcher's to clear out fodders or decapitate heads of dead monsters and take them as trophies 
* Oils: Before a fight, a witcher always prepares oils to strengthen their blows and give a higher chance of winning against a foe albeit it a human, an animal, or a monster. As a side effect when a blade covered in oil cuts through the skin of the opponent that oil causes poisoning

Intelligence: High. As a Witcher, he possesses considerable knowledge of alchemy, human/monster anatomy and biology, and sword fighting.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Aard=
Aard is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It is comprised of a telekinetic thrust that can stun, repel, knockdown, or disarm opponents and remove barriers and other objects.
It is the sign that the witcher uses the most. Outside of combat, Aard is most often used to clear a path, either by blowing down a wall or blowing apart a pile of debris. During combat, it can stun, knockdown, or disarm an opponent.

|-|Igni=
Igni is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It is comprised of a pyrokinetic burst that can repel and ignite opponents and start fires.
Igni is incredibly effective against foes that are weak to fire. There is also an alternative form of Igni that allows Geralt to release a steady flow of fire instead of one quick burst. It can be beneficial for continuously burning enemies even after they've been ignited. Igni is hot enough to melt thick steel armors.

|-|Yrden=
Yrden is a simple magical sign used by witchers. When inscribed on a solid surface, it blocks the monsters from getting closer, scaring them off. If a hostile being enters the area affected by Sign, it is visibly slowed down/paralyzed, and non-corporeal forces become corporeal.
Most foes that wander into the ring are significantly slowed or even paralyzed. Yrden is best for controlling multiple enemies in the melee range. It's also particularly effective against supernatural beings who mostly remain intangible unless caught within a Yrden circle. Yrden can poison and drain the vitality of the foes within the ring.
This sign has an alternative mode, which is a floating rune of Yrden. This mode shoots lightning bolts that damage and stun enemies at a long range and can even nullify projectiles.

|-|Quen=
Quen is a simple magical sign used by witchers. When the first form is cast, it forms a protective forcefield around the body of the casting witcher but disappears after one hit/few hits when upgraded enough. It can also be used to create a bubble-shaped field that absorbs damage and converts it into regeneration (and can also reflect 50% of physical damage back at the enemy), which is the second form of Quen. However, it's impossible to attack while keeping it still. 
Geralt uses it mainly to protect himself from attacks that cover great range/omnidirectional attacks and is not necessarily using it in direct close-quarter combat.

|-|Axii=
Axii is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It is a mental wave that triggers a hex that causes an enemy to obey witchers' commands. The effect can wear off over time or be broken via damage from the casting witcher. It can also be used to disable opponents temporarily. 
Witchers usually use Axii carefully as it can be used dangerous but Lambert is a huge exception because he is one of the only witchers who actively uses Axii offensively, example being on how he commanded some robbers to kill themselves. 
Some examples of lore Axii are shown here.

|-|Heliotrope=
Heliotrope is considered the ultimate magical sign used by witchers. When cast, it forms a protective aura-like forcefield that slows down everything within its range.
However it should be noted that this sign is completely different in the books as it is more akin to Quen as it is a protective barrier sign against physical attacks while Quen is a magical one.

|-|Somne=
Somne is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It was shown in the book Season of Storms. It can put targets to sleep by drawing a sign in the air and possibly erase memories of that happening.
|-|Supirre=
Supirre is a simple magical sign used by the Witchers to hear sounds or conversations that would otherwise be inaudible or undetectable to even a Witcher's enhanced senses. 
This sign is most often used in crowded areas to eavesdrop some important conversation and sometimes to detect sounds that wouldn't be normally be heard otherwise. It is also a great sign for echolocation
