Weapon Scaling Architecture
In Pixel Lineage, weapon damage does not simply add flat numbers to your attack sheet. Each weapon belongs to a specific class discipline and scales based on attribute affinities (ATK, MAG, or SPD). Equipping off-class weaponry imposes a severe 40% accuracy penalty, making weapon-class alignment crucial.

Weapon Sharpening & Gem Inscription
Taking any weapon to the Blacksmith allows slotting up to two elemental Rune Gems (Fire, Frost, or Lightning). Inscribing a Lightning Gem grants +8% Poise Break on every physical hit, while Frost Gems reduce enemy Turn Speed by 10%.
Pro Tip: For speedrunning Act 2 dungeons, prioritize slotting Lightning Gems into fast-hitting dual daggers or fist wraps to repeatedly interrupt enemy boss spell animations.
