Weapon Types [Final Fantasy 15/ FFXV]

These are the weapon types that Noctis can use in Final Fantasy XV

Noctis can equip six kinds of weapon along with using magic. He can perform combos by mixing physical attacks, magic attacks, and warp-striking.

You can set Noctis’ weapon to one button (ex. X for Greatsword and O for Pistol).

Most enemies are weak to a specific weapon type, so strategizing on what weapons you will use is essential for winning battles.

Type	Function
One-handed Sword	This is the most balanced out of all the types because of how you can attack defend and shift magic or skills easily. The one-handed sword is also suitable for performing combos.
Greatsword	The greatsword deals massive damage but it forces Noctis to move slower.
Lance	The lance can deal damage at mid-range and also works well for aerial attacks and combos.
Daggers	With using two blades at the same time, Noctis can attack faster than using a one-handed sword. The only downside that this type has is that it has lower damage output than any other sword-based weapon types.
Pistol	The pistol can deal damage from afar, but Noctis won’t be able to do combo attacks.
Machinery	The machinery type consists of several weapons like a chainsaw a blaster a crossbow and many more. Noctis cannot use his warp-strike ability while equipped with a machinery.
