Weapons
Every good hero needs an impressive arsenal. You’ll need to be fully equipped to handle the obstacles of Cryptica. As a Lancer you have access to two types of weapons in your inventory:
Ranged Weapons
Sometimes it’s better to keep your distance, each ranged weapon is classified by three important stats.
- Quality/Rarity
- Attack Speed
- Range
Keep an eye out for these stats and compare new weapons to your current build.
Where you gain in range and positioning you risk being exposed while you reload, that’s when it’s time to get up close and personal!
Melee Weapons
Lancers have variety of weapons that they can use to defeat the monster of Cryptica. They follow the same stats as ranged weapons with:
- Quality/Rarity
- Attack Speed
- Range
As you journey through your adventure, you'll encounter a wide variety of weapons, each classified by rarity—from common to legendary.
Rarity classification:
Common
These are your standard-issue tools of destruction — basic, reliable, and easy to come by. Common weapons deal modest damage and typically lack any special perks or elemental effects. They're perfect for early-game encounters or when you're in a pinch, but don't expect them to turn the tide in a tough battle. Think of them as your training wheels before you unlock the real firepower.
Rare
A step above the ordinary, Rare weapons bring more than just extra damage—they often come with unique traits or minor perks that can shift the momentum in your favor.
Epic
These are the heavy hitters that start to feel truly powerful. Epic weapons often come infused with elemental effects—fire, ice, poison—and pack significantly higher damage than their Rare counterparts. They’re designed for players who want to dominate mid- to late-game combat with style and strategy. When you wield one, you’re not just fighting—you’re making a statement.
Legendary
Legendary weapons are one-of-a-kind, ultra-rare, and devastatingly powerful. They boast the highest damage output in the game and often come with unique abilities. If you’re lucky enough to find one, it’s not just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer. These weapons aren’t just tools—they’re trophies.
Pro Tip: Some weapons haves extra enhancements to them, such as elemental effects mentioned sooner. Think about the enemies you’ve fought and the ones you have yet to face to pick the right ones for the job. You can determine a unique strategic depth to your arsenal!
Storm Bindings
Storm bindings are powerful modifiers you unlock throughout your journey—think of them as high-risk, high-reward perks that shape your playstyle. Each Storm binding grants a significant advantage, but always comes with a trade-off. For example, one might boost your melee damage by +40%, but at the cost of reducing your long-range attack power by -20%.
These bindings let you tailor your build to suit your strategy, whether you're a close-combat brawler or a precision sniper. But choose wisely—stacking the wrong ones could leave you vulnerable in key moments.
