Auxiliary Weapon

Auxiliary weaponsA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section are a unique mechanic to Gladiator and Chrysaor. Equipping an auxiliary weapon improves certain skills, and is required to activate others. Players can use these classes without an auxiliary weapon, but will not reach their full potential.

To equip an auxiliary weapon, there are three simple requirements:

The weapon must be set at the top-leftmost corner of the weapon grid
The weapon must be a sword or katana
The weapon must have the same element as the main hand weapon

Other than these requirements, the auxiliary can be any weapon, including Class Champion Weapons of other classes. However, because they are part of the grid instead of the main weapon, weapon skills that only take effect when equipped as main weapons will not work.

The following skills require equipping an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section:

Assessment

Chrysaor is a powerful attack class that works particularly well with parties centered around Charge Attacks. Its main limiting factor is having an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section equipped—its damage drastically falls without one.

Furthermore, it lasts two turns—if the MC can reach 100% charge bar the turn immediately after, they can make use of it again for huge burst damage.
