Discover the stats, effects, and purchasing details for all Knuckle weapons in Bravely Default. Learn how they compare to other weapon types and find the best options for your party.
Hey there! So, you're looking into Knuckles in Bravely Default, huh? They're a pretty interesting weapon type. Generally, they hit harder than most weapons, but they usually can't quite match up to Bows. And honestly, a lot of the time, you might even find yourself doing better damage by going unarmed, especially if you've got the 'Natural Talent' ability equipped. It sounds weird, but it's true!
Every single Knuckle weapon comes with an Aim stat of 90 and a Critical stat of 3, so keep that in mind as you compare them.
