Soma Bringer（Nintendo DS）
🗡️ Collecting Gear and Upgrading with Orbs
Enemies and dungeons provide weapons/armor with random stat differences and added effects, supporting the hunt for better gear. Class restrictions determine usable weapon types, including one-/two-handed swords, spears, bows, guns, and staves. Orbs improve equipment, with installation and synthesis at the base workshop. Situational weapon switching and Orb use are central to improvement.
Soma Bringer — what should I check first in Weapons, Armor, and Skills?
Usable weapons differ by class: Batras handles varied melee weapons such as one-/two-handed swords; Koas uses one-handed weapons/shields; Darks two-handed swords/spears; Gunnas bows/guns; Somas staves. Even weapons in the same category differ in stats and effects, so compare each find with equipped gear. Classes with several weapon options can switch to suit enemies.

Attach Orbs to equipment to add stats. Orbs can be synthesized together; combining different types produces random results, creating an optional pursuit of desired effects through repeated attempts. Installation, removal, and synthesis are generally handled at the base workshop. Prioritize Orbs supporting your build's main stats.
- ▸ Orbs are basic materials attached to equipment for stat boosts
