Engine Blade
A starting sword with modest listed stats that absorbs elemental energy when Noctis lands a finishing blow on an enemy.
Understand this choiceThis reference gathers named weapon choices with explicit effects from the supplied Final Fantasy XV weapons passage: one-handed swords, greatswords, and polearms. It includes conditional effects such as elemental damage, aerial bonuses, and effects tied to enemy count, stamina, or MP. The passage also describes general weapon handling, including character restrictions, weapon switching, damage affinities, and some weapon-specific attack behaviors. A separate gameplay passage summarizes Ascension Grid progression, but the supplied text does not name Ascension nodes or their individual effects, so that system is explained only at a high level. The entries are descriptive and source-bounded; they do not rank equipment or recommend a best setup.
