Weapons work twofold in Sands of Aura. They are both the main source of your damage output and arguably the most fun part of the game. Dealing damage, weaving in combos with Spellblades, and special attacks are where the vast majority of the satisfaction is found in playing Sands. There is also plenty of variety in the weapons as well, with literally thousands upon thousands of different combinations available through the weapon forge. You can combine different materials to create weird and wonderful results, check out our forge guide here for some examples!
Today, we’re going to have a look at achieving a specific weapons style and type based on the loot that you’ve acquired, in combination with your personal preferences. The role-playing is deep in Sands of Aura and if you like a particular type of weapon say, axes over swords or maces, then you’re not locked into a particular style. Actually, there is a style for each and every different weapon type and that’s what we’re looking over today!
