Weapon Growth Guide and Trivia

Suikoden II

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs):
1) Who wields the strongest weapon in the game in terms of damage?

The characters with the highest weapon damage are Gijimu, Koyu and Lorelai. All their weapons reach 175 damage when upgraded to the maximum level of 16. Next are Viktor, Riou and Jowy who have max weapon damage of 170.

2) Who wields the most unique weapon?

There are actually dozen of unique weapons in the game. Riou, for example, is the only known character who use tonfa in the entire original Suikoden series. Others who probably use unique weapons include Shilo, Lo Wen, Siera, Badeaux, Clive, Millie, Tuta, Simone, Gabocha, Sasuke and Rina. Personally, I vouch for the Star Dragon Sword as the most unique. Clive's Storm may have been sentient and has soul but it can't talk like the Star Dragon Sword.

3) Where can I find the strongest hammer?

The Gold Hammer, which is the strongest hammer known, is only available in the rare finds of Sajah's item store. It can raise the weapon to its maximum level of 16.

4) Are there characters who use other weapons aside from their first one?

Yes. Early in the game, Viktor will use his first weapon, the Shiko Sword. Later in the game, he will replaced it with a far more special sword, the Star Dragon Sword. Some characters, on the other hand, will use a different weapon in major battles. For example, Lorelai uses a halberd during a normal fight while she lead a unit of archers in the battlefield. Another one is Zamza, who uses his fist in figthing while he leads a magic unit in major battles.

Tips and Tricks:
1) In order to convince Genshu to join the Allied Army you have to bring along with you an ally that has a weapon level of 14 or higher. The best way to get him is to recruit Pesmerga and bring him along in Riou's entourage. Or else, you need to find either the Silver Hammer or Gold Hammer and recruit Tessai in the Allied Army.

2) Embedding the Kindness Rune increases the weapon damage based on the kindness factor of an ally to the main protagonist, Riou. If a particular ally with the Kindness Rune embedded on his weapon is always at Riou's party during normal fights, then its kindness factor increases over time. However, when the same ally got knockout in the fight, his kindness factor drops, thus, decreasing its weapon damage too.

3) Embedding the Friendship Rune increases the weapon damage of a particular character based on how many members are present in the current party. In other words, having six members in the party has greater weapon damage than having less members.

Fun Facts:
1) A character like Riou who began with a minimum weapon level had to spend 336100 Potch to get his tonfa to its maximum level. Good thing some characters have their weapons upgraded to higher levels when they joined the Allied Army.

2) Storm, according to Richmond's investigation, is a gun which has a soul of its own. That is why it sometimes refused to fire in the hands of Clive whenever Elza commanded it to do so. The weapon originally chose Elza to be its master but the Howling Voice Guild chose otherwise.

3) Futch's third weapon name is called "Sigurd." It is a name adopted from a Scadinavian epic poem "Nibelunglied." In Suikoden IV, it is also a name of one of the Star of Destiny in Island Liberation Navy. Sigurd is a pirate under Kika who had a strong friendly rivalry with his co-pirate, Hervey.

Note:
For the purpose of this guide, Riou is the given name for the main protagonist, Tir for the young McDohl and Lazlo en Kuldes for the Suikoden 4 hero.

Some translation errors and misspelled words were edited to avoid confusion. Names of characters are also arranged alphabetically for easy browsing and quick search.

It is no big surprise to know that Sierra's weapon is named after the phases of the moon. Why not? She's the coven mistress of the Blue Moon Village and the inheritor of the Blue Moon Rune, anyway.
