Even the reduced attack speed isn't really detrimental, as taking hits will boost his Rage. The Berserker tends to like to invest into his armor, so the bonus damage caused by the combination of the augmentation and rage helps make up for the fact that he can't invest into his weapon as much as other classes.A damage-augmented glaive can oneshot bosses with enough upgrades!.This is especially true for the assassin's blade, for its special damage boost from surprise attacks is much more effective when there is a bigger range of damage possible from the weapon. The Assassin is all about massive damage in one hit, so the damage bonus from the augmentation is very beneficial, and the speed penalty is almost meaningless if the enemy never gets a chance to attack back.Assassin or Berserker augmenting their weapon for damage.Augmenting an enchanted weapon for speed, for many enchantments become much more effective when activated many times.

Augmenting a spear or glaive for speed eliminates their reduced attack speeds (⅔ attacks per turn → 1 attack per turn).

Some examples of beneficial or otherwise notable augmentations are:

Augmenting for damage increases damage of a weapon to 150% and increases attack delay to 166.67%.Īugmenting an upgraded to 15 level flail, which has highest DPS, for damage will reduce it's DPS by 10%, and augmenting it for speed will reduce DPS by 30%.

Augmenting for speed decreases damage of a weapon to 70% and decreases attack delay to 66.67%.

Enchantments may be removed if the weapon is above +3 for the exact values, refer to Shattered Enchantments.Īny weapon can be augmented by using a Stone of Augmentation on it increasing either its attack speed or damage at the cost of the other.

There is a chance to remove the curse effect as well.

Similarly to armor, the strength requirement is no longer lowered by 1 point for each scroll of upgrade spent.Randomly spawned weapons now have a set 30% chance to be cursed.tier-5 weapons scale by +1/+6 instead of +1/+5, some weapons have different scaling

All tiers gain 1 additional scaling e.g.

Damage is computed the same way as in vanilla. Weapons can be identified either by a scroll of identify, Well of Awareness, or by getting familiar enough with it by gaining enough EXP while using it. If a weapon is too heavy, its strength requirement can be brought down using scrolls of upgrade. Equipping too light a weapon may mean you won't be able to deal enough damage to enemies in later stages, while too heavy weapons will cause the hero to suffer massive combat penalties. Try to make sure you equip weapons that are at your strength level. Weapons are an essential part of Pixel Dungeon without one, you will become easy prey for even the weakest of monsters you encounter.
