Weapons in Octopath Traveler 0
This page lists and describes the different weapon types available in Octopath Traveler 0, along with examples and general usage. Below is a quick-access gallery of all weapon types:
Swords
Swords are one of the core weapon types in Octopath Traveler 0. They primarily increase a character’s physical attack, and many swords also provide bonuses to speed or special effects.
Typical sword‑wielding jobs: warriors, thieves, and other physically oriented archetypes.
Axes
Axes are heavy-hitting, physically oriented weapons. They deliver strong physical damage and are often preferred by characters or jobs that favor raw power over speed or finesse.
Because axes are built for strength, they’re often wielded by characters built for heavy physical damage or tank‑style roles.
Bows
Bows, which are typically ranged weapons, can often hit targets that other weapon types cannot.
They also offer a balanced mix of physical damage and sometimes additional effects such as elemental attack boosts, depending on the bow.
Daggers
Daggers are light, quick weapons favoring speed and evasion over brute strength. Perfect for agile or stealth‑oriented job types.
Because of their speed and evasion bonuses, daggers are often used by thief‑type or evasive characters.
Fans
Fans are a more thematic weapon type, often used by magic or support‑oriented jobs. They sometimes offer bonuses to elemental attack or other magical attributes. According to the comprehensive weapons list, Fans are indeed listed among weapon types available in the game.
This makes them useful for hybrid or mage‑support builds, where a character might need a mix of magic and physical flexibility.
Polearms
Polearms give reach and a balanced physical stat bonus. They’re often wielded by characters whose jobs favor both strength and versatility.
Common polearm weapons include spears and long‑reach weapons, and they often grant balanced stats like physical attack plus speed or accuracy bonuses.
Staves
Staves are typically used by magic‑users, healers, or characters who rely on elemental attacks rather than pure physical damage. They often boost elemental attack stats.
Because many support or mage‑type jobs can equip Staves, they’re essential for builds focused on elemental spells or healing over melee combat.
Tomes
Tomes are another magic‑oriented weapon type. They tend to offer elemental attack bonuses, and are generally used by characters specialized in elemental magic or support roles. According to the official weapon list, Tomes exist alongside other weapon types.
They provide flexibility for characters whose abilities scale with elemental or magical attack rather than physical.
