Bahamut Weapons

Bahamut Weapons are fabled weapons that boost stats based on a character's race instead of element. Creating Bahamut weapons requires a lot of materials, but they provide a massive boost to damage and survivability.

Bahamut Weapon Skills

Bahamut weapons initially come in three styles: 20% Attack up to one race, 20% HP up to one race, or 10% Attack and HP up to two races. Here are the races and the weapons that benefit them:

• Human: Dagger (Attack), Melee (HP)
• Draph: Axe (Attack), Katana (HP)
• Erune: Spear (Attack), Bow (HP)
• Harvin: Gun (Attack), Harp (HP)
• Human/Draph: Sabre (Mixed)
• Erune/Harvin: Staff (Mixed)

Unknown characters (including the main character) and Primal characters count as any race for Bahamut weapon bonuses.

Multiple unique Bahamut weapons can stack their bonus up to +50% per stat per race, with some limitations: multiples of the same Bahamut weapon never stack, only the largest bonus will apply; single-race weapons do not stack with one another for the same stat for "Unknown" characters (eg. Plain/Nova Dagger and Spear), but will stack with mixed weapons (eg. Plain/Nova Sword and Spear or any Coda-upgraded weapon).

For the purposes of multipliers, Bahamut weapons count as "Normal" weapons, the same as event and Draw weapons. However, they require rank 80 and have stat penalties (80% effectiveness) if obtained earlier than that.

When you perform the Coda upgrade, your weapon gains an additional race (dagger, axe, spear and gun) and either an additional stat to boost (single stat) or a huge boost to an existing stat (double stat), so a fully-upgraded Bahamut weapon will boost 2 races and 2 stats (except for melee, katana, bow and harp, which only boost one race but three stats)

Obtain a Rusted Weapon

The first step to creating a Bahamut weapon is obtaining a level 75 Rusted Weapon. There are two ways of getting these: commonly from the Proto Bahamut raid, and uncommonly from the Angel Halo dungeon. If you run Angel Halo, it's recommended to run it on Very Hard.

A rusted weapon can be uncapped by combining 4 copies, but you can also buy Steel Bricks from the Casino to fully uncap it.

Create a Bahamut Weapon

Once you have a level 75 Rusted Weapon, creating a Bahamut weapon is simple: go to the Shop > Fabled Weapons > Bahamut Weapons > Cores of the Dawning Universe: Bahamut Weapons Genesis, then look for the weapon type you wish to craft. You only need one item aside from the Rusted Weapon: 1 Horn of Bahamut. These are obtained from Proto Bahamut raids. Hosting a Proto Bahamut rewards 1 horn only for the first time. Outside of the quest reward, they are rare drops from flip chests or a potential red box item. The crafted Bahamut weapon will remain at level 75.

In very rare cases, Proto Bahamut will drop a Bahamut weapon, but it will not be completely uncapped. It can be uncapped with Steel Bricks from the casino.

Nova Upgrade

The Nova upgrade does not require anything HL, so it can be done as soon as you meet the item requirements. There is no change to the Bahamut weapon's skill with this upgrade, only an increase in base stats: You gain roughly 700-800 base Attack and 55-100 base HP depending on the weapon type after upgrading to Nova and adding the extra 25 weapon levels.

To perform the Nova upgrade, your Bahamut weapon needs to have a weapon skill of 10. Bahamut weapons require the most fodder in the game to level weapon skills, so this step is frequently left until after you have completed skilling up your first Omega weapon grid. In simple terms, a Bahamut weapon requires 03 weapons as fodder. The sum of their skill level has to be the same as the current level of the Bahamut weapon's skill. You should thus upgrade your 03 fodders' skill level before upgrading the Bahamut weapon.

After reaching skill level 10, single race Bahamut weapon bonuses will now be 30%, while dual race Bahamut weapon bonuses will now be 15%.

In addition to skill level 10, you will need the following materials to upgrade your Bahamut weapon to Nova form:

Forged Weapon	Base Weapon*	Unique Omega Material	Common Materials
Sword of Bahamut Nova	Sword of Bahamut	Resolute Reactor ×20	Horn of Bahamut ×3 Blue Sky Crystal ×7 Red Dragon Scale ×30 Blue Dragon Scale ×30 Brown Dragon Scale ×30 Green Dragon Scale ×30 White Dragon Scale ×30 Black Dragon Scale ×30

* Base weapon must be Lvl 75 and SLvl 10.

Coda Upgrade

The Coda upgrade requires 5 Primeval Horns from the Proto Bahamut (Impossible) raid and 3 Legendary Merits (from the Shop). For Attack weapons, this adds 15% HP and a second race. For HP weapons, Double/Triple Attack (DA/TA) rate is added. For mixed weapons, the Attack bonus is upgraded to 30%. For all weapons, the weapon gains a final uncap to level 150 and skill level 15.
