Weapons

Overview

In Chrono Odyssey each of the six launch Classes—Swordsman, Ranger, Sorcerer, Paladin, Berserker, and Assassin—has access to **three class-locked weapons**. Adventurers may equip **two** of these at a time and swap between them instantly in combat, layering time-manipulation skills from the Chronotector on top of traditional action gameplay.

Weapon Switching System

• **Real-time swaps:** press the swap key to change weapons with no animation lock.
• **Eight-skill load-out:** four active skills are tied to each equipped weapon; cooldowns persist through swaps.
• **Role flexibility:** combining defensive and offensive sets lets a single character cover Tank/Healer/DPS niches without rerolling.

Weapon Attributes

Attribute	What it does
Base Damage	Raw hit power before modifiers.
Attack Speed	Determines animation length and resource-gain rate.
Scaling Stat	Primary character attribute that boosts damage/healing.
Skill Modifiers	Random perks such as +Crit Rate or +Time-Magic Amp.

Enhancement & Crafting

1. Visit a town Blacksmith to **upgrade** weapons from +0 to +15 using Gold, monster drops and Enhancement Stones.
2. Upgrades up to **+3–5 succeed 100 %**; higher tiers introduce a failure chance that currently only consumes materials—CBT footage shows **no item breakage or downgrade**.
3. Enchanting adds or rerolls skill modifiers on purple-rarity and above gear.
4. Legendary recipes and set bonuses are planned for post-beta patches.

Acquisition

• **Story quests** and early **Expedition Dungeons** award baseline class weapons.
• Enhanced or skin variants drop from dungeon/raid bosses, world-boss timers and elite-zone chests.
• All weapons are tradeable via player market in the CBT build.
