Upgrading Weapons in 33 Immortals is a vital system that allows players to enhance their combat capabilities by improving both core stats and unique weapon traits. This progression is handled through the Weapon Mastery system, which provides permanent boosts and unlocks new gameplay mechanics for each weapon.

Weapon Mastery

The core system used to upgrade weapons is called Weapon Mastery. Each weapon has its own mastery track that levels independently. As players use a weapon and collect resources, they can invest in its mastery path to:

• Increase a specific core stat
• Unlock new passive abilities
• Modify the weapon's performance in combat

Stat Scaling

Each weapon upgrades one of the game's four core attributes as part of its mastery:

• Bow of Hope – Increases Attack
• Sword of Justice – Increases Vitality
• Daggers of Greed – Increases Critical Damage
• Staff of Sloth – Increases Empathy

Each mastery level improves that stat's effectiveness and unlocks optional gameplay augmentations.

Trait Unlocks

In addition to stat scaling, weapon upgrades grant access to weapon-specific traits. These traits alter mechanics such as attack speed, AoE size, damage thresholds, and utility functions. Players can mix and match traits to suit their personal playstyle or raid role.

Example Trait Upgrades

Bow of Hope

• Quick Shot – Fires arrows 30% faster
• Auto Recall – Automatically recalls arrows after delay

Sword of Justice

• Shockwave – Emits AoE pulses when over 50% Justice
• Final Justice – Triggers Gavel Bash automatically

Daggers of Greed

• Greedier – Increases Greed capacity, always consumed on use
• Quick Strike – Gains speed with each successful combo

Staff of Sloth

• Outburst – Casts periodic AoE against slowed enemies
• Torpor Wave – Torpor becomes a projectile

How to Upgrade

Weapon upgrades are done from within the Dark Woods hub, often near the character who governs weapon functions or loadouts (e.g., Dante or a related interface). As players gather materials from raids or quests, they can invest those resources into mastery progression.

• Upgrades may require rare items or relics found in Inferno, Purgatorio, or Paradiso
• Some upgrades unlock after defeating bosses or completing area-specific challenges
• Mastery bonuses are persistent across all runs

Strategy and Optimization

Choosing which weapon to upgrade depends on:

• Your preferred combat role (Tank, DPS, Support, Crowd Control)
• The area you're raiding (Inferno’s chaos vs. Paradiso’s precision)
• Your team’s composition and synergy needs

Players can specialize in one weapon or invest in multiple depending on raid needs and personal mastery goals.

Summary

Upgrading Weapons through the Weapon Mastery system is essential to long-term progression in 33 Immortals. Whether you're increasing raw damage, tankiness, or co-op support strength, each upgrade shapes how your Immortal performs in battle. Mastery isn’t just a power boost — it’s a way to define your identity within the rebellion.
