The Arcana System has a three-unit Equipment System, which can be used to customize and modify a character's statistics between battles without need for an upgrade application. These items include Weapons, Armor, and Skill Cards.

All characters have access to a limited selection of each to start, as well as 'defaults' for Weapons and Armor in case none are equipped. Further unlocks may be achieved via point spends, Monad rewards, or other benefits.

Inventory

  • +inventory will show you your currently-equipped items.

Weapons

Weapons can add Attack to Weapon and Tandem attacks, Bonuses to statistics (St, Ma, Ag, Vi, Lu), or Passives to the holder. Only one weapon's benefits may be used at a time, but weapons may be renamed freely.

Relevant commands include:

  • +weapons - Shows a list of available weaponry.
  • +weapon/equip or +equip/weapon <name>=<desired name> - Selects a weapon from the database and gives it a desired name. Does not take ansi.
  • +weapon/clear - Clears your current weapon in favor of the Default value.

Armor

Armors can add Defense to all attacks, Bonuses to statistics (St, Ma, Ag, Vi, Lu), or Passives to the holder. Only one armor's benefits may be used at a time, but armors may be renamed freely.

Relevant commands include:

  • +armors - Shows a list of available armors.
  • +armor/equip or +equip/armor <name>=<desired name> - Selects an armor from the database and gives it a desired name. Does not take ansi.
  • +armors/clear - Clears your current armor in favor of the Default value.

Note that +armor commands take 'armour' too. We see you, non-Americans.

Skill Cards

Skill Cards allow a character to equip additional attacks. Typically these are Weak attacks, but as the game progresses, more powerful Skill Cards will be unlocked. They are in addition to your normal attacks, and can be switched between battles. Unlike free attacks, these cannot be renamed. However, they can be freely switched outside of battle. A typical character has one Card slot.

The following commands are relevant:

  • +cards - Shows a list of available Skill Cards for your character. This list can be expanded piecemeal or with category unlocks.
  • +card/equip <Card> - Equips a Card to your current form. This adds the attack to that form's attack list.
  • +card/unequip <Card> - Unequips a Card from your current form. This removes the attack from that form's attack list.
  • +cards/clear - Clears all cards from your current form's list. This will remove all card attacks from your current form.
