What Are Impact Weapons?

Close Range Weapons

Impact Weapons are weapons that deal High Damage when close to enemies. Impact Weapons like Shotguns and Swords perform more effectively when fighting within melee range.

Great Against Impact Shinkas

Impact Shinka

Impact Weapons are also great against Impact Shinkas, since the damage resistance of these enemies can be disabled by attacking them up close.

Upgraded Using Specific Materials

Impact Weapons are upgraded using Weapon Enhancement Prism - Impact from levels 1 to 7, Mythic Weapon Infusion Core - Impact from levels 8-10, and a Hardened Luminite when upgrading a weapon to Level 10.
