Warriors: Abysswas suddenly dropped on all platforms shortly after the recent State of Play, making it one of the year’s first ‘shadow drops.’ And, if you’re a fan of roguelikes, you’ll want to check it out, as it is a banger of an entry to the genre, borrowing elements from Hades and Vampire Survivors for an action-packed and hectic experience.

With 100 Heroes to choose from -you read that right- there are endless builds at your disposal and just as many upgrades for you to obtain as you dive deeper and deeper into the pits of hell. One of these many upgrades is Unique Weapons, allowing you to reach your favorite Hero’s true potential!

A look at Wang Yi’s Unique Weapon, Illusion Piercer, which grants her extra bonuses in Warriors: Abyss.

What Are Unique Weapons?

Before diving into how you obtainUnique Weaponsin Warriors: Abyss,let’s first cover what they are,as they are crucial to getting the most out of your favorite Heroes.Every Hero in the game has access to a Unique Weapon,which willgrant them additional bonuseswhen obtained, making them perfect for focused builds.

For example,Wang Yi’s Unique Weaponis herIllusion Piercer,whichenhances her Attack by 50 percentwhen paired withFreeze,meaning you mustfocus on obtaining Freeze Emblems to take advantageof the Unique Weapon. Additionally,destroying incoming enemy projectileswillcharge her Musou Gauge by one percent,which is a nice bonus.

An overlook at No in Warriors: Abyss, showcasing her Unique Weapon that can be purchased for 50,000 Karma Embers.

Without the Illusion Piercer,Wang Yi willstill benefit from Freeze builds,but to amuch less degree,as she only has access to herBewitching Flower of Vengeance,whichcharges her Assemble Gauge when she Freezes enemies.While that is strong,pairing that with a 50 percent Attack boost will make her a powerhouse,so obtaining Unique Weapons should be the end goal for your favorites!

How To Obtain Unique Weapons

Themost common wayyou willobtain Unique Weaponsin Warriors: Abyss will be viaTreasure Chestsduring your numerous attempts at making your way through hell. Treasure Chests onlyappear upon completing MissionsfromMission Portals,which are marked with aTreasure Chest iconand red text that states,‘A Mission has appeared!’

Entering a Mission Portal will have youeliminate a specific number of monsters as always,but instead of spawning more Portals afterward,Enma will appearon your screen with aMission.These Missions canrange from defeating 100 enemies within 45 seconds to defeating specific enemies and many more.Some are far easier than others, so be on your toes.

If yousuccessfully complete the Mission,aTreasure Chest will spawn next to the Crystal Sappling,allowing you to obtain the goodies from within it. There is one unfortunate catch: Younever know what’s going to be inside.It can be aUnique Weapon, an Emblem, Karma Embers, or Juicy Meat, you name it.It’s entirely up to chance. Youcan even get Unique Weapons for Heroes you haven’t unlockedyet, which adds more salt to your wounds!

Purchasing Unique Weapons

Perhaps leaving things in fate’s hands isn’t your cup of tea.Can you still acquire Unique Weaponsin Warriors: Abyss? Fortunately, that answer is’yes,‘but, as you likely guessed,there is also a catchto that. Unfortunately. If you want to get your hands on aUnique Weaponoutside of a Treasure Chest, you must fork over50,000 Karma Embers.

That’s right; you mustcash in a whopping 50,000 Karma Embers to get one Unique Weapon for a single Heroin the game. That is A LOT of Karma Embers, whichwill be better spent obtaining more Heroes,especially early on. Wedon’t recommend doing this until you have acquired everythingin theHall of Bonded Souls.

For those of you who are unaware,obtaining a new Hero grants permanent Stat Boosts for every Hero in the game,whichmakes future runs less of a painto get through, sosaving up Karma Embers just for one Unique Weapon just isn’t worth it,no matter how good the bonuses are.After obtaining everythingin the unlock tree androlling credits,you can, and should,gun for this methodof obtaining Unique Weapons!

You will eventually get lots of Karma Embers the further and further you get through hell, so you will likely have everything in the Hall of Bonded Souls sooner than you think, allowing you to focus on acquiring Unique Weapons from there on out when you are consistently reaching the final boss, and even defeating them, on a regular basis!
