Dark Opus Weapons are weapons obtainable by trading materials obtained from Lucilius (Raid) in the Shop. They are divided into two sets, the Renunciation set that have weapon skills boosted by the Omega Series summons, and the Repudiation set that is boosted by the Optimus series summons.
All Dark Opus Weapons are obtained at 3★, and can be uncapped up to 6★.
Dark Opus and Draconic Weapons share a mutual and special exclusivity; you may only equip one weapon from either series in a grid.
