Part 94

Dive into the comprehensive stats for all swords, knives, whips, and flails in Ark 2, Part 94. Find the best gear for your characters!

Alright, so you've made it to Part 94! This section is all about gear, specifically the weapons your party can wield. We're going to break down all the swords, short swords (which are basically throwing knives), whips, and flails. Knowing these stats will help you equip the right character with the best possible weapon to take down those tough enemies.

Let's get straight into it. We've got tables here detailing each weapon's name, the level required to equip it, its attack power (ATK), elemental type (ELM), and any special effects it might have. Pay close attention to those special effects – they can make a huge difference in combat!

Swords

These are your standard melee weapons, and they come with a wide variety of effects. Some boost your attack, others inflict status ailments on enemies, and some even have unique effects like healing you or damaging you when you attack. Remember, some of these are character-specific, so check who can equip them!
