Weapons

## Description

Weapons are exactly what they sound like. Weapons. Wanderers of the Wastelands provides multiple ways for you to lay the smackdown on your foes. This page serves as a list of weapons with a brief description in case it interests you. If it does not link to a weapon page, then the page doesn't exist yet.

Attack speed - time between attacks. all attacks take the same amount of time to complete except for Skills

### Fists

The fists are the weapons you start out with, and is the only weapon type that will stick with you no matter what weapon path you take. Regardless of weapon, they will always be here for you whether you need a last resort or some way to extend your combos. It has a base damage of 4 and a medium attack speed. This is by far the weakest weapon in the game, with its absurdly low range combined with its low damage. The dagger counters this weapon in all 3 categories. Despite being quite weak, this is a very upgradable weapon.

Upgrades:

Advanced Combat - +1 Damage, slightly faster attack speed and new attack animations

Caestus - +1 Damage

Iron Body - Allows you to block weapons easier with a Caestus

### Sword

Swords are a balance between damage, attack speed and range. With it's good range, nice attack speed and heavy damage, this weapon has at least 1 counter for all the other weapon types within the game. It deals 7 damage per hit with a fairly slow attack speed. The sword is designed to lock enemies up in massive combos that take large chunks of enemy HP, and can even wipe out Paragons if used properly, although this weapon is pretty bad for warding off multiple foes. Then again, what weapon really is good at it? This weapon is not upgradable.

### Dagger

Daggers are the fastest weapons in the game, with use of ranged attacks, evasions and speed boosts, the dagger is the perfect tool for either rush downs, wearing down your opponent or simply just running away. It deals 5 damage per hit, with an insanely fast attack rate. The range itself is not the best, but your baseclass tools allow you to get close or escape combos with relative ease. This can be seen as one of the most annoying weapons, as phasing combos, running away and spamming ranged attacks is not really anyone's concept of skilled and you might get hated for using it. This weapon is not upgradable.

### Spear

The spear is the most unbalanced weapon in the game, used by those who don't have enough skill to use a real weapon. The spear hit insanely hard, and so does its skills, with a long range and good attack speed. It deals a whopping 8 damage per hit, with a fairly slow attack rate. The weapon itself deals a ton of damage, with having an insanely long range and overpowered stun to back it up, in addition to the move "Push" which is an unblockable that wipes out an entire healthbar upon hit. The community associates spears with the least skilled players in the whole game, who appear to look skilled thanks to their spear usage, and we can only wonder how powerful someone can be if a skilled player decided to use a spear. This weapon is not upgradable.

### Tome

Tomes are very different from the other weapons. Rather than being the weapon that lays the smackdown, it is used to cast spells which can destroy your opponents when used correctly. The damage dealt all depends on what spell you use and how you use it. Tomes aren't just a combat thing, either, as you may use this you boost you and your allies' speed or unlock the crystal cave to access the Lamorak Plate. This is easily the most upgradable weapon in the game by far

Upgrades:

Faster Casting Speed - Bring Kadoc a Frost Bloom and 100 Axium to increase the rate at which you cast spells

Lumos - Bring Kadoc an Illusionary Bloom and 100 Axium to unlock Lumos and access the Crystal Cave

Spells - All the scrolls you can find can be used to add a spell to your tome assuming you didn't already use it

Casting Speed Armor Bonus - If you wear specific mage armours, your casting speed increases and stacks with Kadoc's training

### Greatsword

#### Variant 1: Strength

The Strength Greatsword is the weapon you use whenever you want to wipe somebody. Its combat style is very identical to that of the Rogue Lineage Abysswalker. It's a heavy hitting weapon with a hitbox that is quite smaller than the actual weapon itself. It deals 15 damage, with the slowest attack speed in the game. This weapon ragdolls on every single hit that lands, and blocking it taxes 1/3 of your block meter. Due to the slow speed and the fact weapons can hit each other at the same time, it is common that sometimes when you swing, you'll get hit but completely ignore it and send the person flying. This weapon is not upgradable.

#### Variant 2: Swift

The Swift Greatsword is a version of the Greatsword that was added in-game following the collapse of Regius. Unlike its Strength counterpart which focuses on wiping people and sending them flying, the Swift variant utilizes combos and dealing as much damage as possible. It deals 9-10 damage per hit, with a very slow attack speed. **As of right now, this weapon is not viable due to the fact it is missing hitstun which makes combos impossible and lets people simply attack you without worry of being stunned.** (The stun is actually 0.2 seconds, but it is still basically the same thing as no hit stun) This weapon is not upgradable.

### Trainers weapons

Every weapon except for Tome, Caestus and Greatsword have a trainers weapon, these deal 1 damage per hit and are not able to use spears (Note: Trainers spear is broken currently and skills work with it). These weapons give double weapon XP on hit, and can also hit the dummies on Red's farm for 1 hit of Xp before they teleport away.
