How to get new Legacy of the Moonspell weapons
Weapons gained through evolution follow the same principles as the original weapon families. They are stronger, but their core mechanics remain recognizable.
Previously described evolution mechanics are covered in a separate guide. There, players can also learn about the weapon roster in the main game as a point of reference.
Silver Wind. The standard weapon for Miang Moonspell. Keeping this hero alive for about 15 minutes unlocks their weapons for other characters. It fires orb projectiles that orbit in elliptical paths, and landing hits can spawn hearts that restore a small amount of health, with the chance influenced by Luck. Arcana enhances the healing effect.
With Pummarola maxed, Silver Wind can be upgraded into Festive Winds.
Four Seasons. The base weapon for Menya Moonspell. Surviving 15 minutes while playing as this character unlocks the weapon for others. It detonates four explosions in the arena.
Combining Four Seasons with a fully upgraded Spinach and a Candelabrador yields a new weapon called the Godai Shuffle.
Call of the Night. The standard armament for Syuuto Moonspell. Surviving 15 minutes unlocks the Challenge of the Night for other heroes.
An enhanced version called Echo Night can be obtained by linking it with a Duplicator upgraded to the max.
Mirage robe. The starter weapon for Baby-Onna. Survive 15 minutes to unlock the cape for other characters.
Mirage’s Garment can be upgraded to J’odor when paired with a Level 5 Attractorb.
Nightsword. Megalo Menya Moonspell’s signature weapon. It becomes available to other characters after finding it on Mt. Moonspell. The Nightsword performs a rapid series of blows against nearby foes; taking damage triggers a retaliatory strike. Hearts appear on the battlefield when enemies are defeated, granting health, with arcane upgrades boosting healing and damage. The Nightsword can evolve into Muramasa with the Stone Mask at maximum level.
Mille Bolle Blu. McCoy-Oni’s starting weapon. It can be transformed into a Boo Roo Boolle with a maximum Spellbinder.
108 pétanque. McCoy-Oni’s first weapon. Holding it in the arena for 15 minutes unlocks this weapon for other characters.
