What Are Weapon Upgrades?
Unlike the hands-on upgrades in the previous game, Rebirth's system is more hands-off. The Folio board takes charge, making things easier. As your characters hit new Weapon Levels, they snag fresh Weapon Skills and Stat Boosts.
Weapon Skills:
These are your manual upgrades. Limited by your current weapon, but as you level up, you get more slots. For example, Sleek Saber at Level 4 adds an Attack Power +20 skill. There are also cool ones like boosting your ATB charge or giving Cloud more punishing moves.
Stat Boosts:
Automatic stat boosts with each new Weapon Level. At Level 4, Sleek Saber gets +9 Attack and +9 Magic Attack. Sometimes, you score extra slots for Weapon Skills or Materia. Handy stuff for a tactical advantage.
How Do Weapon Upgrades Work?
Weapon Levels climb as your characters earn SP (Skill Points). Keep it simple-SP only goes to Folio boards. The SP you spend here automatically adds up for Weapon Levels. Characters might not always have the same level, influenced by things like skill books and character levels.
Tip: When you check a character's Weapon Upgrades, the SP for a level shows the total SP earned. More SP comes with higher character levels and finding skill books.
Tip: After a Weapon Level bump, take a minute to tweak your Weapon Skills setup. Even if you don't get new slots, optimizing your loadout makes a big difference.
