Artist's commentary

Common Armaments in Games

The size is suitably adequate, isn't it?
◆Woah!!? What a number of favorites on pixiv! Thank you very much m(_ _)m
◆Here's some postscript. A Chakram is not much bigger than the palm of one's hand, originally made for hunting. Spin it around your finger, then let it fly.
◆Alice's shield here is the one she pulls out to guard in "Immaterial and Missing Power" (In "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" it's a magic square).
◆What I call a "Saber" here versus a fencing saber, the names are the same but that's another thing.
◆It's not Iwloon, but Ilwoon；

Francisca Ancient Frankish throwing axe

A two-edged long sword wielded with both hands. Being rather small for a two-handed sword, its maneuverability is effective.

A primitive sword constructed without using metal. Sharply polished fragments of obsidian are crammed in line like teeth along a wooden shaft.

Jamadhar Katar

In order to distinguish the later-developed cavalryman's sword from the widespread infantryman's sword, the cavalry sword was dubbed the longsword and the infantry weapon the shortsword. The respective names are determined not by the length of the blade, but by which type of soldier wields it.

Kora (Nepalese sword)

With a blade length of about 70 cm, this is short for a sword. The blade is thick, broad, and double-edged, with the tip honed to an acute angle. Its shape is that of a typical sword. 70 cm ≈ 27.5"

Watermelon Bar Suika Bar, a watermelon-flavored popsicle. Apparently a gag weapon in some games.

A sword with its center of mass at its tip, it can be used with the feel of using an ax.

Its spiraled blade is convenient for deflecting attacks, plus, since it tears up flesh, making it difficult to stop blood flow, it has a high ability to wound mortally.

A narrow sword that emphasizes stabbing over slashing. Since it is a two-edged sword, after a fashion, slashing attacks are also possible.

A large, curved, double-edged blade. This fearsome weapon attacks by slashing with side sweeps, avoiding enemy shields.

A sword curved like a sickle, with an arcing blade along its inner edge.

A double-edged blade with an expanded tip. Used for hacking by making good use of its weight.

A curved, single-edged blade. The blade is curved in order to emphasize its cutting.

A sword with a blade, short in length for use in tight places, such as ships. The pirate's companion.

A shield shaped like an upside-down drop of water. It is easy to set up on either side, and is shaped so it can protect all the way down to one's feet, even if one is on horseback.

An iron-shaped, shortened version of the kite shield. Generally, one would draw a family crest on its front.

A short sword with a normal blade and comb-like ridges along its back. Used to enmesh enemy swords between the ridges and break or swat them down.

A spear with a tip shape that resembles a bat.

A long spear with a broad, large, triangular tip. Made specialized for slashing and stabbing, nearly all its mass is concentrated in the blade, so it has powerful destructive force, especially in slashing attacks.

Among knives, "dagger" identifies an edged tool used as a weapon. A short blade made for stabbing and throwing. As it is small, it is highly maneuverable, but if one does not target the body's vital points precisely, it will not inflict lethal wounds.

A sword specialized more for stabbing than cutting. Used like a clawed gauntlet.

Since its weight is a disadvantage to the mobility of light infantry, this spear serves as equipment for heavy infantry.

A dagger with an undulating blade. Made utilizing meteoric iron, its blade is sharp and has a unique design.

Wielded entirely by one's non-dominant hand, this deflects enemy attacks. Basically, it is used like a shield.

A spear with a three-pronged tip. Has excellent stabbing attack range.

Shaped like a cross, it has a sharpened tip with no blade. Used for targeting and stabbing through the gaps in chain mail or armor, this weapon was made with the goal of completely stabbing someone to death. It has excellent fatal wounding power despite its small size, making it idea for assassinations.

With its peculiarly concavely curved blade, its center of mass is at its front, so one can hack through objects with minimal power. It has a W-shaped notch at the base of the blade.

A dagger with a wide, thick blade.

A typical spear, it has a variety of uses, such as stabbing, striking, mowing down, slashing, entangling, and hooking in.

A single-edged knife used for self-defense. As it was originally a knife for everday use, it is not made for battle. As it has no guard, it is not made for thrusting.

Among long swords exceeding 180 cm in length, these are the ones that cannot be worn at the waist. Swords are essentially weapons one wears at the waist, so blades with which one can do that are treated as bastard swords, even if they are so large that one can only wield them two-handed. 180 cm ≈ 5' 11"

Edible down to the seeds and rind despite being a watermelon, this is a crystallization of intellect created by mankind. If an amateur wields it poorly, there is a danger that they will drop the remaining rind at the end.

A spear for knights on horseback or a charging spear for heavy cavalry.

A poleaxe with a crescent-shaped blade affixed to it to make it more lightweight.

A war axe with its destructive power increased by lengthening its handle.

A weapon designed for pulling the enemy down. Since heavy infantry generally can't get up on their own once they've fallen down, it's then easy to administer the killing blow.

A club made of two pieces, shaft and head. More effective against against metal armor than sword-shaped weapons.

A type of mace with many spikes on a rounded head.

A striking weapon with the head attached to the shaft by a chain. Very powerful, but difficult to handle.

A throwing weapon where blades are fastened to the outside of a ring. Since it's thrown with the fingers, it's surprisingly small.

A type of hand-axe. The V-shaped head makes it more likely to stick in the target when thrown. Apparently sometimes had modifications to make it impossible for the enemy to reuse it; the blade would have backwards spurs on it or the shaft would be made to break easily and so on.

Similar to a naginata. Has a large, sharp blade shaped like a sword. Has the largest blade of any spear-type weapon.

A weapon with a hammer-shaped head for crushing attacks.

A spear-like weapon that combines a spearhead for thrusting attacks, an axe-head for chopping attacks, and a hook-shaped pick for pulling a knight off of his horse.

A type of hand-axe mainly used for clearing vegetation. However, it apparently can also be used as a thrown weapon with practice. It's common for weapons to be created from everyday items in this way.

Cinquedea Long dagger of Italian origin; name means "five fingers"
