In Dark and Darker, Weapons are a significant aspect of gameplay that require strategic consideration as players are given the opportunity to discover and utilize different types of weapons to suit their playstyle and preferences. In addition to the standard melee weapons like swords, maces, daggers, polearms, and axes, there are also ranged weapons like bows and crossbows that allow for combat from a distance. The game also features magical weapons that can be used to cast spells, as well as shields that can be used for defense.
Weapons have different properties and parameters that affect their performance in combat, including attack damage, attack speed, range, attack animations.

The Felling Axe's attack can be chained infinitely as long as the attack doesn't miss or get's interrupted.


Most melee weapons operate on a Sweet/Sour Spot system, meaning hitting an enemy with the tip of the weapon will deal the most damage and hitting further down on the blade/haft will deal less damage.
The Zweihander's secondary move set is also special since it's a 2-Hit attack, meaning 1 right click does a 2-Hit attack animation.

As [[Sword]]s overall balanced wepaons and are less punished by the impact zones, weapons like [[Spear]] are affected a lot more.


The radius value simply determines the radius of the cylindrical shape of a weapon's hitboxes, so the bigger the radius, the wider the hitbox and the easier it is to hit targets.

In Dark and Darker, Weapons are a significant aspect of gameplay that require strategic consideration as players are given the opportunity to discover and utilize different types of weapons to suit their playstyle and preferences. In addition to the standard melee weapons like swords, maces, daggers, polearms, and axes, there are also ranged weapons like bows and crossbows that allow for combat from a distance. The game also features magical weapons that can be used to cast spells, as well as shields that can be used for defense.

Weapons have different properties and parameters that affect their performance in combat, including attack damage, attack speed, range, attack animations.

Rarity

Weapons can improve and become stronger as their rarity level increases. A weapon's rarity typically reflects its level of power, with higher rarity weapons providing more damage output and other attributes that can enhance the player's performance in combat.

There are 8 rarities in the game.

Junk | Poor | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary | Unique

Rarity Uncommon and above adds an extra random Enchantment.

Uncommon rarity adds up to 1 new enchantment

Rare rarity adds up to 2 new enchantments

Epic rarity adds up to 3 new enchantments

Legendary rarity adds up to 4 new enchantments

Unique rarity adds up to 5 new enchantments

Stat Randomization

Not only are the enchantments a gear piece is imbued with randomized, but some of it's base stats are also randomized.

In general, only the damage values on weapons and the armor rating on armors are variable.

As such, 2 gear pieces of the same rarity can have different base stats.

There are some exceptions like the Lightfoot Boots, these also have randomized movement speed values based on rarity.

For example, a Epic rarity Armet can have a 36 ~ 38 Armor Rating, which means that stat can roll between 36 to 38.


Weapon Properties

Some weapons also have special properties, for example, the Castillion Dagger's and the Stiletto Dagger's 3rd hit deals 40% more damage.

The Felling Axe's attack can be chained infinitely as long as the attack doesn't miss or get's interrupted.

The Zweihander's secondary move set is also special since it's a 2-Hit attack, meaning 1 right click does a 2-Hit attack animation.

The "Combo" column reflects a weapon's attack animation during it's attack string, this description will be the in-game one, as those reflect the attack's coded damage type.

Melee Damage types such as "Thrust, Slash, Pierce" are not yet implemented in the game.

As for the Weapon's reach/hitbox" column, weapon's length doesn't necessarily determine a weapon's reach, more so the weapon's hitbox length, due to different attack animations, some shorter weapons could have better reach than longer weapons.

Impact Zones

Most melee weapons operate on a impact zones system, meaning hitting an enemy with the tip of the weapon will deal the most damage and hitting further down on the blade/haft will deal less damage. The number of impact spots vary between weapons.

Lets look at impact zones of Arming Sword:

Arming Sword Hitbox.png

Green Zone deals 100% damage

Orange Zone deals 90% damage

Red Zone deals 70% damage

As Swords overall balanced wepaons and are less punished by the impact zones, weapons like Spear are affected a lot more.

Magic Staff Impact Zones
jose peralta | Posted on Mar 2, 2025 at 2:58 pm

I see there are 3 different numbers for impact zones on Magic Staff, 100%/80%/60%(green/orange/red I'm assuming), but I'm only seeing green and orange zones under the Hitbox illustration for it

Raw Salad | Posted on Mar 5, 2025 at 6:55 pm

While the third number exists in files, it is not used as the weapon doesn't have a corresponding hitbox area. Magic Staff only uses the first two impact zones.

Missing HitSlow numbers on some weapons?
jose peralta | Posted on Feb 16, 2025 at 7:02 am | Last edited on Feb 16, 2025 at 7:03 am

I came here to see what the HitSlow for Short Sword is and noticed that it, plus several other weapons(not refering to things like crystal ball obv), are not showing anything. Is this because they dont have any HitSlow or just missing info? ty.

Raw Salad | Posted on Feb 16, 2025 at 10:49 pm | Last edited on Feb 16, 2025 at 10:51 pm

It is now fixed. There was an issue in the template due to recent changes. Thank you for noticing.

Reset your browsers cache if you still don't see the values. The shortcut is typically: ctrl + f5.

combo activation speed&#039;s effect on recover
anonymous | Posted on Nov 3, 2024 at 1:42 pm

assuming you hold down left click with an arming sword for just 2 attacks, would you have to add the 376ms of the second attack into the recover phase or ignore it altogether? would the total be 2.204 seconds or 1.828?

Raw Salad | Posted on Nov 5, 2024 at 2:34 am

The animation times column on this page shows the "full" length combo. To see subsets of a weapon's combo, visit the weapon's subsection on combos.

combo activation
anonymous | Posted on Oct 23, 2024 at 8:45 pm

what's combo activation exactly? is it just part of the old combo stat or is it something like the time you get to prolong your combo?

Raw Salad | Posted on Oct 28, 2024 at 10:58 pm

The old combo stat combined "Combo Activation" and the subsequent "Windup" into one value. We split it for clarity since the period where you can activate a combo varies a lot.

anonymous | Posted on Nov 1, 2024 at 5:53 am

So if you hold the button do you just not count combo activation period at all since you get to the combo instantly?

Raw Salad | Posted on Nov 5, 2024 at 2:38 am | Last edited on Nov 5, 2024 at 2:55 am

I can't confidently say one way or another based on intuition and game feel alone. This exact question remains to be tested and I've been too busy.

If someone else is interested and willing, it would be sufficient to continuously repeat a combo 10+ times and time it, then repeat without continuously holding the attack button. If there's a time discrepancy, then that means the combo activation period is dynamic and can end early.

Rondel Dagger is the perfect weapon for this test since attacks 2 and 3 allow you to chain a combo indefinitely.

jose peralta | Posted on Mar 31, 2025 at 7:00 pm

Pretty sure you just have a window of time during your current swing in which you can choose to combo, if there is no more attack inputs it just goes into the recovery phase?

Raw Salad | Posted on Apr 5, 2025 at 3:00 am

Yeah, that's correct. This was an old comment. Recent understanding/research is shared on this page here: Attack Times

I'd like to see the list sorted by range. I think I used to be able to.

Sur | Posted on Jun 20, 2024 at 1:11 am

We would love to include this but the table had more important information to include, so we had to move it to individual weapon pages i.e. /Arming_Sword. Recall that Range only refers to the hitbox dimensions, the attack animation is the biggest factor for the "effective range" anyways

Question about Crafted Weapons with Undead Damage Bonus% while dual wielding
anonymous | Posted on May 31, 2024 at 12:23 pm

I see people using Hand Crossbows similarly to get the armor pen bonus, so I was assuming it worked for either weapon but what im not sure about is whether you can stack them? ex Flanged Mace / Short Sword on a fighter. Would you get BOTH 15% Undead Damage Bonus, if so is it calculated *!5% -> *15%bonus or *30%bonus. tyx for any help

Sur | Posted on Jun 20, 2024 at 1:12 am

Stats only granted while held, see https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Stats#Stats

anonymous | Posted on Oct 11, 2024 at 7:27 am

DPS
anonymous | Posted on Nov 2, 2023 at 10:26 am

What formula should I use to calculate the damage per second of a weapon for it's full combo?

CrookedJ | Posted on Jan 3, 2024 at 3:33 pm | Last edited on Jan 3, 2024 at 3:33 pm

(Base * Attack1Power) + (Base * Attack2Power) + (Base * Attack3Power) / [Sum of all Speeds]


So for a 20 base damage Castillon Dagger it would be

(20 * 1) + (20 * 1) + (20 * 1.5) / (0.579 + 0.131 + 0.569 + 0.180 + 0.943 + 0.200 + 1.061) = 19.11 DPS

Enchantments that affect longbow damage
anonymous | Posted on Oct 2, 2023 at 1:39 pm

Does only weapon damage, real physical damage and extra physical damage affect the damage of the Bows and crossbows? Does strength really have no effect on the damage of the Bows and crossbows?

anonymous | Posted on Oct 3, 2023 at 5:10 pm

Strength determines the % extra physical damage bonus you do. 15 being 0% and 10 being -X%

附魔的属性好坏是不是和武器稀有度有关 比如说橙色武器最高能随机到+4所有属性 而紫色武器最高只能随机到+3所有属性

Esthelion | Posted on Apr 23, 2023 at 6:34 pm

No, the item rarity only dictates how many enchantments a gear piece can have. The value ranges are the same for every tier. So a green helmet can have +2 all attributes and the same helmet at purple tier can have +1all attributes.

Google Translate 不，物品稀有度只决定了一件装备可以拥有多少附魔。 每个层级的值范围都相同。 所以绿色头盔可以有+2的所有属性，而同样的紫色头盔可以有+1所有的属性。

Sweet/Sour spot?
anonymous | Posted on Feb 10, 2023 at 2:40 am

Hey this might be obvious to some players, but I'm sure there are plenty of us who have no idea what this means. It sounds like maybe hitting with the hilt/handle instead of blade of axe or whatever. Or is it the place in the arc where you hit connects? Like on an overhead attack you pull back, swing over your head (first part) then you arc past the eyeline or chest height (Or more likely this is still part of the first "sweet spot") and maybe you have a back swing or a follow through to say the ground that could count as a lesser hit (So the sour spot?)? Some have 2 %s and some have 3. And they all seem to be better early.

Ta1ha | Posted on Feb 10, 2023 at 2:50 am | Last edited on Feb 10, 2023 at 2:50 am

Most melee weapons operate on a Sweet/Sour Spot system, meaning hitting an enemy with the tip of the weapon will deal the most damage and hitting further down on the blade/haft will deal less damage. The number of sour spots vary between weapons.

Closer you are, worse the long range weapons become. This can affect Polearms badly. On the other hand, daggers always do their 100% damage.

anonymous | Posted on Feb 14, 2023 at 3:21 pm

Thanks that answers my question perfectly. And that makes even more sense than my guesses.
