** 10. Weapons **
**             **
*****************
*****************

Each character has 5 different weapons. You can only have 3 in use and you can
only equip one. The Attacks is how many attacks you can perform at once and the
Base Attack is the attack rating of the weapon. I will show all the weapons for
each character and created characters as well. The first weapon is their
starting weapon, the third is their actual weapon, and the fifth is their
special weapon. Weapons can also have other modifiers to them such as Defense+4
or Speed+8. When you find weapons throughout the stages keep the ones with
better modifiers. Play on hard or equip the Kappa Amulet for better weapons.
They can also have elemental modifiers. These will deal elemental damage using
the combination for one of your elemental skills and if you have a full Musou.

Keep in mind you must play on the Hard or Chaos difficulty to obtain 5th
weapons.

You get this weapon on the "Siege of Osaka-Summer" stage. The main requirement
is to get 1000 kills. I suggest doing these missions first: luring the two
generals in front of the cannons, destroying the enemy cannons, returning to
home base, and preventing Masamune Date from entering the castle. Then when it
says to charge into the enemies main camp, use this time to kill as many enemy
generals as you can and work towards your 1000 kills. When you reach 1000
kills, a supply team will show up near the southwest of the map and head for
the gate east of the castle. Defeat the captain for the weapon.

Katsuyori Takeda as they come after you. I suggest then taking the gate to
the west and north and defeat Yukimura and Kunoichi and clear that area out.
Then head south and use the ninja path to infiltrate the Takeda camp and
after the Crane Formation proves successful you will have to take the Takeda
gates. Take all the gates and the supply team will appear in the southerna
area and head east. Take the captain out for the Yamikiba. You may want to
