Weapon Mastery

Original WM Animation

Weapon Mastery is a system available to all players. It was introduced with the Amazon Fury Part I episode.

Overview

Weapon Mastery requires a specific number of Stat Points spent in a Weapon Tree to unlock. The player gains increased damage when using weapon combos if Weapon Mastery is unlocked for the equipped weapon type. 

Multiple Mastery allows combos into other Weapons if Weapon Mastery is unlocked in other Weapon trees.
Unlocking a Multiple Mastery combo will also add an appearance option for that weapon in the Style UI.

While you need the type and the mastery unlocked, you do not need to own the secondary weapon in order to complete the mastery combo.

Trivia

• Previously, in order to successfully exercise Weapon Mastery, the player needed to focus on an enemy or a Sparring Target. This has since been changed and you can perform the combos without hitting anything.
• It is possible to set the weapon styles for the secondary and tertiary weapon via the style menu. There is a unique "Default" style for secondary and tertiary weapons that looks like a simple energy construct in the player's primary colour.
• Neither Staff nor Shield appear in any other weapon tree's Mastery list. While Shield's exclusion is understandable due to being a fighting style only available with a purchase, Staff's exclusion is odd and unexplained. These are how many times a weapon type appears in other weapon trees:
  • 4: Dual Pistol
  • 3: Martial Arts, Hand Blaster, Bow
  • 2: Two Handed, Dual Wield, Brawling, One Handed
  • 1: Rifle
