Hey all you Susanoos out there! Have you been using your sub weapons?

For those of you who have yet to come upon these sub weapons, keep on playing through the game - they’ll pop up soon.

Sub weapons can be somewhat difficult to use properly, but the most convenient thing about them is that the more armaments you have equipped, the more passive skills you can equip.

However, the “sub weapon skills” category is filled with some pretty deep stuff, so we’ll do a bit of explaining down below!

Sub weapons not only help by increasing the number of passive skills you can equip; they can also be used in many ways with the "Sub Weapon" skill, too.
(Ex. 1) Gun equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Gun” skills.
You can swap the weapon and sub weapon (gun) you're holding to fire your gun.
(Ex. 2) Sword equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Slash Down” skills.
You can swap the weapon and sub weapon (sword) you're holding to attack.
You can execute not only “Slash Down” but all techniques this way.

*The "Manipulate" skill is also special, but the two can be combined to increase your number of moves.
(Ex. 3) Spear (also works with swords, ninja swords, and guns) equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Manipulate” skills.
The spear is deployed on your back and fired off as-is. Since the spear becomes a projectile weapon, it works well with the "Guidance" skill.
The number of shots increases according to the number of "Manipulate" skills equipped. You can also perform other actions while firing.

(Ex. 4) Axe (also works with 2-edged swords) equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Manipulate” skills.
Your axe will spin around your character, blowing away any enemy it hits.

(Ex. 5) War fan equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Manipulate” + “Lightning Type” skills.
Lightning will be generated around your character.
The number of shots increases according to the number of "Manipulate" skills equipped. When attaching attributes, be careful with them as you yourself will also be affected if you don't have resistance to that specific element at that time.

Also, if different sub weapons are equipped to each shoulder, they will behave differently, so you'll be able to fire a gun and have an axe protect your surroundings simply by using the "Sub Weapon" + "Manipulate" skills.
There are many more other combinations apart from those mentioned in the above examples.

If you have a sub weapon combo you'd like to show off to everyone, then by all means, share a screenshot or two!

Today’s Tip: Armaments without skills equipped may seem useless, but when used to combine with other stuff, it's more likely to provide an enhancement value!
