They are further broken down into classes.

Swords are the most common jot down of weapons.

you’re able to wield either a single sword or two swords.

Power of attack with such weapons can be really high, yet it comes at the cost of speed.

Due to their size, your character has to use a lot of strength to strike.

Also, fighting with axe or hammer consumes more Ki.

Another group of weapons are ranged weapons.

It encompasses bows, shotguns or blowguns.

Often opponents use fire arrows, which deal even more damage to you.

Also, it should be noted that there are certain differences between using a blowgun and a bow.

While using a bow, you could freely move around the map while zoomed in.

This is impossible in the case of a blowgun, where you have to stand still.

Yet, the powerfulness in the case of the latter is incomparably higher.
