Building a Calamity Weapon

2 / 8

Weapon Proficiency and Additional Proficiency

Two default types

Every character has two Weapon Proficiencies. A weapon of one of those types gains +20% ATK in their hands. A weapon of another type still works, without that bonus.

The key to Potentials

A Calamity Weapon only activates its Potentials if its type is among the character's proficiencies, Additional Proficiency included.

A third type to unlock

Additional Proficiency adds one type, picked from four that are specific to the character. Only one is active at a time, and you can switch freely between the ones already unlocked.

The Weapon Proficiency screen in the Armoury: this one is Falsi's.
  1. 1The character's two default proficiencies.
  2. 2The third slot: Additional Proficiency, empty until a type is activated.
  3. 3The four types this character can unlock. The selected one is circled.
  4. 4The materials required for the selected type, next to what you own.
  5. 5The unlock button, greyed out while a material is missing. Once the type is unlocked, it activates it.
What an unlock costs
  • 500,000Coin
  • 6Weapon Track-Shift Module
  • 2Forging Insight

The cost is the same for every type; only the Forging Insight changes: you need the one for the type you want. You get it by dismantling a 5★ weapon of that type.

Where it is in game

In the Armoury, on the character: the Weapon Proficiency wheel shows the two default types and a third slot, “Additional Proficiency”.
