In that case, it would be totally different. Gold Star weapons are unique weapons that are, I won't say powerful, but they are better than the dot counterparts unless you manually customise your own weapon attributes (covered in 'The new Gems and Blacksmith in Xtreme Legends' section). In the first column, you will see dots or sometimes, gold stars. In your weapon type, there are those effective stars thing and there's another type of stats that you should look at. Once your character reach Level 26, the stars should have maximised to 4. So now you will wonder, 'OMG Why my favourite/EX weapon is 3 stars? Isn't that what he/she's supposed to use?!'. This shows how effective your character will be when using the weapon. In the weapon selection screen, you will see that there are stars beside the weapon type. However, you lose the ability to use your EX attack. You can even turn Xiao Qiao into Lu Bu by giving her a halberd, which greatly powers her up. Using the sword has no advantages to your character unless his favourite weapon is the Sword.Īlso, because anyone can equip any weapon. Always change the sword to your favourite weapon. But, Slot 2 will always be the generic Sword. The default weapon equipment when you first start the game will always be his favourite weapon in Slot 1. Equipping 2 weapons with the same affinity will cause the game to prompt a warning as it is disadvantageous to do so. For example, if you were to use Xiao Qiao, you should equip 2 Iron Fans, each with different weapon affinity (as explained in Storm Rush Mechanics). However, it's heavily recommended you equip the character's Favourite Weapons instead of any random weapon as Favourite Weapons gives your character the ability to execute EX attacks. For example, if you were to give Lu Bu a Diaochan weapon, Lu Bu will start to act like a graceful dancer. The weapons are like movesets in this game.
