Weapons are the main way of dealing damage to enemies. All weapons can be used to block and parry incoming attacks and projectiles. All one-handed weapons, except for the shield and bow, can be dual-wield by equipping both of them to main and off-hand and pressing "Switch Weapon" button (default X / LB). Every weapon, except for the shield, can be upgraded by Blacksmiths with Nightsteel. Each weapon type has their own stat requirements and scaling.
