Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is a free-to-play action roguelite RPG for iOS and Android, where you smash through waves of monsters in runs that play out differently each time. Your weapon is the gear you fight with. It shapes how your basic attacks move, what element they carry and what your finishing move does. With six weapon types and three star ratings, the one you pick can change how a run goes.

What Are the Weapon Types in Dragon Quest Smash/Grow?
Every weapon belongs to one of six types: swords, spears, staves, boomerangs, claws and whips. The type decides how your basic attacks move, so two weapons with similar damage can feel very different in a fight.
Knowing the type helps you match a weapon to how you like to fight.
How to Pick a Weapon by What It Does
Each weapon has an element: fire, ice, wind, lightning, earth, light, dark or none. Weapons with no element deal plain physical damage, as the Metal Slime Sword and Metal Wing do.
Most three-star weapons and many two-star weapons also come with an enchantment, a passive effect that works on its own, such as orbiting spheres, extra projectiles, ricochets or damage cuts. Metal Wing's strength is its ricochet: its ranged normal attacks bounce to another enemy, and that effect applies to your whole party. Element and enchantment together shape how a weapon plays, so look at both alongside the type.
Which Weapons Hit Certain Enemies Harder?
Some weapons hit certain enemy families harder. Metal Slime Sword, Silver Claws and Metal Cutter hit metal foes harder, which makes them the ones to reach for in Metal Slime training. Dragon Killer and Steel Broadsword hit dragons harder, Partisan hits beasts harder, Imp Spear hits slimes harder, and Rosewhip hits birds harder.
Check which enemies a stage sends your way, because a weapon that matches them can make that fight go much smoother.
How Coup de Grâce Works
Every weapon has its own Coup de Grâce, a special finishing move that sits apart from its normal attacks. It charges up as you fight, and once it's ready you can use it whenever the moment calls for it. Each weapon's finisher works differently, so switching weapons changes what your big move does.
Some finishers do more than hit enemies, such as healing the party or calling in a helper. Calberobeute's Coup de Grâce, for example, calls in the spirit Samshin, which fights for you for up to 60 seconds or until it is defeated.
What the 1, 2 and 3 Star Ratings Mean
Weapons come in one, two and three star versions. The stars give you a quick sense of a weapon's power level. Three-star weapons are generally stronger than their one and two-star versions, which is why they're the ones worth chasing when you want a big jump in power.
How to Get Weapons
You can get weapons from the Transmuter, which works on random draws. The standard Transmuter banner is one place to pull, and limited Transmuter banners are another. Weapons from a limited banner only appear while that banner runs, so check it before you spend anything.
Event rewards are another way to get weapons. Exchanges such as the Metal Ticket Exchange and the Premium Pass Medal Exchange also let you trade for certain weapons.
How to Upgrade Weapons
Weapons get stronger through upgrades, and the materials for them come from your adventures. You can add several materials in one go instead of feeding them in one at a time.
How Blessings Work With Your Weapon
Blessings are random bonuses that come up as you move through a run, and they reshuffle every stage. Because they're random, you won't always get the ones you want.
Some enchantments respond to blessing hits. Watermaul Wand's enchantment triggers on sphere hits, Sandstorm Spear's on spike hits, and Queen's Whip's on sword hits. Pick blessings that feed your weapon rather than whatever looks flashy.
FAQ
Which weapons are good for farming Metal Slimes?
Metal Slime Sword, Silver Claws and Metal Cutter are the ones built for it. Metal Cutter is also listed in the Metal Ticket Exchange, so you can get it without relying only on random draws.
Which weapons can heal the party?
Princess Gwaelin's Staff and Holy Lance both heal the party with their Coup de Grâce. That makes them a handy choice when keeping your team standing matters more than dealing damage.
Are 1-star weapons worth upgrading?
They can be, especially if you like how one plays. Upgraded one-star and two-star weapons can still carry you a long way, so you don't have to swap out a favorite just because a three-star weapon shows up.
