Evolution is a game mechanic that typically changes a base weapon to a stronger evolved weapon using a passive item as a catalyst. A Union is a combination of two weapons. A Gift is an additional weapon or passive item you would get when the conditions were met.

Evolved weapons usually inherit most of the base weapon stats with extra effects, most Area-of-Effect weapons may add bonus to Area and some have changes on base damage because their behavior is different. United weapons share similar characteristics with evolved weapons, except two weapons are merged into one, hence emptying a weapon slot after the united weapon is obtained. Gifts act as an additional weapon or passive item, without replacing the base weapon.

Mechanics[]

To evolve or unite a weapon, or to obtain a gift, the player needs to fulfill following conditions:

  • The player must have a fully leveled base weapon and its counterpart (required level varies by case) in their inventory.
  • The player must then collect a Treasure Chest that contains an evolution type reward. In most stages, this kind of chests are dropped by bosses that spawned at or after the 10-minute mark with some exceptions:
    • The first chest in Mad Forest dropped by the Glowing Bat, which spawns along the wave at 1:00, can evolve a weapon.
    • All chests in Dairy Plant, Il Molise, Cappella Magna, Boss Rash, and Abyss Foscari Tides Of The Foscari DLC can evolve a weapon regardless of time.
    • In Green Acres the ability to evolve a weapon is the same as the wave in its original stage.
      • For example, chests dropped by waves from Dairy Plant prior to 10 minute mark can evolve a weapon, but waves from Inlaid Library cannot.
    • In Tiny Bridge, all chests, except the chests from minute 3:00 and 6:00 bosses, can evolve a weapon.
    • At Mt.Moonspell Legacy Of The Moonspell DLC, all chests, except the chests from the minute 3:00 and 5:00 bosses, can evolve a weapon.
    • The first chest in Lake Focari Tides Of The Foscari DLC dropped by the Foscaritrice, which spawns at 2:00, can evolve a weapon.
    • Treasure Chests that contain an Arcana (minutes 11:00 and 21:00 in every normal stage) can only evolve a weapon when the player is already at the max count of Arcana.
    • The Character Gyorunton can evolve weapons with any chest pickup that gives an item, regardless of other conditions.

The chest will then grant an evolved weapon as its first reward in place of the usual random upgrade. On evolution, the base weapon is typically removed and the evolved weapon is added. The passive item remains unaffected. On union, both base weapons are removed and their union is added, freeing a weapon slot. On gift, the base weapon will not be replaced when gift is obtained.

Generally, only one weapon can be evolved per chest, including the higher tier chests. However, some chests contain multiple evolutions:

Chests in Il Molise, Bat Country, and Tiny Bridge, and the chest from Giant Enemy Crab can evolve up to five weapons. The rest can evolve up to three. To evolve multiple weapons at once, these chests must be of the higher tier with enough rewards, as evolution is a type of reward.

Morph[]

Certain weapons evolve automatically when a character morphs into a new form, which occurs if you have the required relic and meet the required conditions to morph. When a character morphs, their starting weapon evolves into a new weapon as well. Picking up a treasure chest is not required.

Currently, only Mortaccio, Yatta Cavallo, and O'Sole Meeo can morph.
