# Weapons and Items ### Weapon & Item Variety There are hundreds of different weapons and items in Voxie Tactics, with many more being added consistently through the live operations of the game, as well as post-launch. Part of the strategy to win battles in Voxie Tactics is making sure to bring the right weapons to the right fight. Here are some of the initial weapons and item types players will come across in the game. ### Melee Weapons * Swords (one-handed and two-handed) * Axes * Daggers * Maces * Scythes * Hammers * Spears * Katanas ### Ranged Weapons * Bows * Crossbows * Pistols ### Magic Weapons * Wands * Staffs * Magic Artifacts ### Items * Pendants * Shields ### Armor * Helmets * Hoods * Chest Armor * Robes * Boots * Gloves And many more... ### Damage Types and Status Effects Some weapons and items will come with special elemental damage types and effects. These will tend to be rarer items, or items that were crafted to be infused with a specific elemental damage type. Here is a brief rundown of the different elemental types encountered in Voxie Tactics: * **Fire** – Inflicts the Burn status effect. * **Water** – Has slowing properties. * **Ice** – Creates the Freeze effect. * **Wind** – Has additional knockback potential. * **Lightning** – Shocks enemies, potentially stunning them. * **Poison** – Inflicts the Poison status effect, which periodically damages the target. * **Holy** – Inflicts additional damage to the undead. * **Dark** **(Unholy)** – Used by necromancers for unholy magic. Certain targets that are attuned to particular elements will get additional bonus damage or immunity depending on what the elemental type used for the attack. **For example**: An Ice Titan boss in the Snow/Tundra biome will be immune to ice damage and to the Freeze effect, but will take additional bonus damage from Fire or Burn effects. ![A frozen enemy is unable to move or take action](/files/y4oAHvPRUbetqXjnMfxO) ### Rarity Tiers of Weapons and Items Each weapon and item in the game will be assigned a rarity tier. Rarity tiers can be improved through by infusing damage or effects types in the [**Crafting**](/tokenomics/crafting.md) module. Rarity will correspond to an item's effectiveness or damage, with rarer tiers inflicting higher damage on average than the lower tier weapons. However, even within the same rarity tier, each weapon will have different damage ranges or stat increase capabilities. Some weapons and items will be unnamed and customizable through crafting (e.g., Katana, Broadsword, etc.), while others will be named items with specific abilities and effects. Some weapons and items will exist only in very limited quantities, and finding these weapons in Voxie Tactics will take determination and skill from players looking to seek out the most valuable rewards. ### Equipment Slots The following equipment slots are available to equip weapons, items and armor to Voxies: * Main Hand * Off Hand * Head * Chest * Hands * Feet * Accessory * Companion Players can change a Voxie's equipment in the party roster screen, and even during battles. However, using an **EQUIP** action during a Voxie's turn uses the **ACTION** phase for that turn, and the Voxie that changed their equipment will be unable to take any other action until their next turn. ![Equipping new weapons and armor from the party roster screen](/files/hVQmu5RrOjgiVEU33KpN) {% hint style="info" %} Note: Unlike equipment, Voxies cannot change their companion pet in the middle of a battle. Whichever pet a Voxie has taken into battle will remain with them for the full battle. {% endhint %} A full list of our current weapons and items will be viewable on the official Voxies website: once the game is launched and live. Seasonal rewards available for the PVP arenas can also be consulted on the "Items" page of the website. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
