Weapon Skins

Equipping weapon skins

Weapon Skins is a feature that allows Adventurers to change the appearance of their equipped weapon. It was added in version 1.14.0.

Overview

During quests, an Adventurer may equip a skin over their weapon, giving it the appearance of another weapon. The stats, skills, and abilities of the "real" weapon remain unchanged - for all intents and purposes, this is purely a cosmetic feature.

On the teams screen and in co-op rooms, units with an equipped weapon skin will have a blue eye icon displayed next to them. Tapping a unit in either place will then show the name of the "real" weapon in the unit's summary page.

Weapon skins can be disabled from view in co-op rooms by going to More → Options → Game → Weapon Skin Display Settings

Unlocking a Weapon Skin

There are three methods for unlocking skins:

• For playable weapons that actually have stats and such, their skin is unlocked upon obtaining that weapon.

• For weapons that only exist as skins, they are usually unlocked when unbinding a playable weapon. The skins available will vary by weapon, but will usually match the upgraded weapon's type and element. For example, unbinding a Flame Sword may unlock some other Flame Sword skins.

• Special skins may be available as rewards from events.

A running count of the total available skins can be found below. Note that these counters include both playable weapons and skin-only weapons:

Sword	Blade	Dagger	Axe	Lance	Bow	Wand	Staff	Manacaster	Total
96	95	93	88	93	91	93	82	40	771

Equipping a Weapon Skin

To equip a weapon skin, go to the teams menu, tap an adventurer's equipped weapon, and then tap the "Weapon Skins" button in the bottom-right to select a skin. Note that skins can only mask weapons of the same weapon type: for example, a lance can be masked by another lance, but a lance cannot be masked by a wand.

Swapping the "real" weapon to a different one will instantly unequip whichever skin was currently in use.

Skin-only Weapons

As a result of the weapon system overhaul in Version 2.0, many weapons now only exist as skins. Many weapon skins have been added since Version 2.0 as well.

Trivia

• During the Walkies quest of the Wagabond Pupper event, all adventurers who are eligible for weapon skins will instead carry a small shovel. Adventurers that cannot use weapon skins will still carry their usual built-in skin. For example, Veronica will still hold her tome.
• While it does not appear in her portrait art, the Replica Machine Gun (Skin) is used by Panther in her force strike animation.
• Gala Gatov is unable to equip his dual swords, as he wields an axe.
• When the skin was first released, Zena's wand was implemented as a staff skin, making Zena unable to equip it. This was an error, and the skin will be corrected to be a wand skin.
• The following adventurers are unable to use weapon skins, however their weapons are available separately as skins that other adventurers can use:
  • Pecorine
  • Grimnir
  • Gala Mascula
  • Gala Zethia
  • Shingen
• The following weapons do not appear in any adventurer's portrait art, however their owners can be inferred based on their name and design:
  • Rainbow Axe (Skin) - could be Summer Julietta, Summer Patia, or Summer Amane.
  • Inquisitor's Mercy (Skin) - likely Curran.
• Howl of the Hungry Beast (Skin) is wielded by the enemy Volk, but he is not a playable adventurer.
• When adventurers are fought as enemies, or when they appear in 3D cutscenes, they will often use core 5 non-elemental weapons.
  • In the Faith Forsaken (Part Two) 3D cutscenes, Pinon and Faris instead wield Chimeratech weapons.
