== 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.<ref name="devinterview" />
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 using the Q key, layering [[time-manipulation]] skills from the [[Chronotector]] on top of traditional action gameplay.<ref name="devinterview" /><ref name="pvpbank" /><ref name="transcript1" />
 
Each weapon comes with its own unique:
* [[Skill tree]] with distinct abilities
* [[Special ability]] activated by right-click
* [[Weapon mastery]] level that must be leveled independently from class level
* Set of eight abilities (four active at any time)


== Weapon Switching System ==
== Weapon Switching System ==
* **Real-time swaps:** press the swap key to change weapons with no animation lock.<ref name="devinterview" />
The weapon switching system is a core mechanic that enables dynamic combat:<ref name="transcript2" /><ref name="questlogcombat" />
* **Eight-skill load-out:** four active skills are tied to each equipped weapon; cooldowns persist through swaps. 
{| class="wikitable"
* **Role flexibility:** combining defensive and offensive sets lets a single character cover Tank/Healer/DPS niches without rerolling.<ref name="questlogcombat" />
! Feature !! Description
|-
| '''Real-time swaps''' || Press Q to change weapons instantly with no animation lock
|-
| '''Eight-skill loadout''' || Four active skills per weapon; total of 8 skills available during combat
|-
| '''Cooldown persistence''' || Skill cooldowns persist through weapon swaps
|-
| '''Role flexibility''' || Combine defensive and offensive weapons to cover Tank/Healer/DPS roles
|-
| '''Combat fluidity''' || Can swap mid-attack; current attack finishes before swap occurs

! Class !! Resource !! Generation !! Notable Traits
|-
| [[Swordsman]] / [[Berserker]] || [[Rage]] || Builds on hit; decays out of combat || Enables burst "spender" skills
|-
| [[Ranger]] / [[Assassin]] || [[Vigor]] || Starts full; spent by skills || No passive decay, supports kiting
|-
| [[Sorcerer]] / [[Paladin]] || [[Mana]] || Passive regen || Governs both healing and DPS spells
|}
 
== Weapon Mechanics ==
=== Skill System ===
Each weapon features:<ref name="transcript1" />
* '''8 total abilities''' per weapon in the skill tree
* '''4 active ability slots''' that can be equipped at once
* '''Left lane''' (red highlight) - typically offensive abilities
* '''Right lane''' (blue highlight) - typically defensive/utility abilities 
* '''Center lane''' - buffs, passives, and enhancements to basic attacks
* '''Synergy skills''' - Unlockable skills with two option choices
 
=== Weapon Mastery ===
[[Weapon mastery]] operates independently from character level:<ref name="transcript2" />

* Each weapon has its own progression tree
* Higher mastery unlocks more powerful abilities
* Points are earned by levelling the weapon separately from the character

== Enhancement & Crafting ==
# Visit a town [[Blacksmith]] to **upgrade** weapons from +0 to +15 using Gold, monster drops and Enhancement Stones. 
The enhancement system allows players to upgrade weapons without RNG-based destruction:<ref name="gearguide" /><ref name="reddit_enhance" /><ref name="pvpbank2" />
# 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**.<ref name="gearguide" /><ref name="reddit_enhance" />
 
# [[Enchanting]] adds or rerolls skill modifiers on purple-rarity and above gear.
=== Upgrade System ===
# Legendary recipes and set bonuses are planned for post-beta patches.
# Visit a town [[Blacksmith]] to upgrade weapons from +0 to +15
# Required materials:
#* [[Gold]]
#* Monster drops
#* [[Enhancement Stones]]
# Success rates:
#* '''100% success''' for upgrades up to +3–5
#* Higher tiers introduce failure chance
#* '''No item breakage''' or downgrade on failure (only material loss)
# [[Equipment Score]] increases with each upgrade
 
=== Enchanting ===
[[Enchanting]] adds or rerolls skill modifiers on purple-rarity and above gear:
* Adds affixes like:
** Critical hit chance
** Cooldown reduction
** Elemental damage
** PvP-specific stats
* Becomes crucial for late-game optimization
* Can manually reroll affixes with specific materials
 
=== Crafting vs Drops ===
Crafted gear was generally more powerful than gear found from combat during the early game of the beta. [4] This balance may change in the full release.
 
=== Future Systems ===
Planned post-beta additions include:<ref name="gearguide" />
* Legendary recipes and set bonuses
* [[Time-Fused gear]]
* Crafting boosts during events
* Time-infused enchants


== Acquisition ==
== Acquisition ==
* **Story quests** and early **Expedition Dungeons** award baseline class weapons. 
Weapons can be obtained through multiple sources:<ref name="gearguide" /><ref name="questlogcombat" />
* Enhanced or skin variants drop from dungeon/raid bosses, world-boss timers and elite-zone chests.<ref name="gearguide" />
{| class="wikitable"
* All weapons are tradeable via player market in the CBT build.

== Tactical Applications ==
=== Combat Strategies ===
; Hybrid Rotations   
; Hybrid Rotations   
: Open at range, then swap to melee; or lead with shield defense before unleashing high-damage options.

; Chronotector Combos 
; Resource Management
: Freeze or rewind foes, then weapon-swap into a burst window for guaranteed hits.
: Use resource-generating weapons (Greatsword) to build up, then swap to spender weapons (Dual Blades)<ref name="transcript1" />
; Cooldown Optimization
: Rotate between weapons to maximize ability uptime since cooldowns persist through swaps
; Role-Fluid Builds

== Armor Interaction ==
Weapon effectiveness is influenced by [[armor weight]]:<ref name="transcript2" />
* '''[[Light Armor]]''' - Increases damage output, reduces defense
* '''[[Medium Armor]]''' - Balanced stats
* '''[[Heavy Armor]]''' - Increases defense, reduces damage
* No weight-based movement penalties (dodge type is class-based, not armor-based)
 
== Beta Limitations ==
During the Closed Beta Test (June 20-26, 2025), only three classes will be available:<ref name="transcript1" />
* Swordsman
* Ranger  
* Berserker
 
The remaining classes (Paladin, Sorcerer, Assassin) will be available at full launch.
 
== Tips for New Players ==
* Each class receives full weapon kit at character creation for testing<ref name="transcript5" />
* Weapon mastery levels are separate from character levels - use weapons to level them
* Try all weapon combinations during beta - respec is available
* Headshots with ranged weapons deal bonus damage<ref name="transcript3" />
* Practice weapon swapping combos for fluid combat
* Monitor stamina usage - each weapon has different stamina costs
* Consider armor weight when planning builds
* Resource management differs by class - learn your resource mechanics
