Section 1: Overview
--------------------
Zoids Saga. Is it an RPG? Yes, but there's more to it than that. The
ability to customize, upgrade, and collect Zoids gives it more complexity
than an average RPG (although the growth of the Zoids is less complex than
most RPGs). The proper selection and acquisition of Armaments is a vital
step to victory.
But how is a non-Japanese speaking player supposed to know their Hybrid
Cannon from a Napalm Missile? Well ...
---------------------------
Section 2: Version History
---------------------------
0.8 (3/20/2002): First version. All armaments should be included. Some
translation issues (tetsukan, rensou, hannou-dan, shuuchuu, hiblit), but this
version is probably as correct as it will get unless someone is kind enough
to make translation corrections ...
0.9 (5/14/2002): Added location information for several armaments.
Corrected E Protector. Added Fixed Armaments section (see miscellaneous).
--------------------------------
Section 3: Armaments in General
--------------------------------
The Armaments system in Zoids Saga allows for the massive upgrade and
customization of all Zoids in the game. Sure, a Lightning Saix is fast - but
why not put a Extreme Maneuver Thruster on a Gojulas G Ogre and make it
faster?
All Zoids have 3 Weapons Racks. These Racks can be of three types:
Fixed, Offensive/Defensive, and Defensive. Fixed Racks contain a set weapon
that cannot be removed or altered. Offensive/Defensive Racks can contain any
type of Armament, and Defense Racks can only contain defensive armaments.
To just check your current general stockpile of Armaments, enter the
Start Menu, select the first option (Status), and then select the third
option (Armaments). To change the currently equipped Armaments on your
active Zoids, enter the Start Menu and select the third option.
The first rack is always the left shoulder (closest to the screen) rack,
the second is the centerline rack, and the last is the right shoulder rack
(the Zoid's body will be made transparent so you can see the Armament in
question).
Finally, your stockpile has a maximum limit of 9 of any single Armament
(but it can hold all the different Armaments you want). However, Armaments
carried on Zoids do not count towards this limit. If you sell or remove an
Armament from a Zoid that you currently have 9 of in your stockpile, the
excess Armament is lost. Armaments can be bought and sold at Armaments Shops
inside towns (a cannon or missile on the sign) and from certain other
locations.
-------------------------------
Section 4: Offensive Armaments
-------------------------------
When the built-in weapons and attacks of a Zoid aren't enough, it is time
to visit an Armaments Shop and stock up. Some of the most powerful weapons
in the game can simply be attached or removed from any Zoid, and many strong
special abilities, such as DF Ignore and Paralyze, are most easily found on
Offensive Armaments.
Besides, it's fun to put a Charged Particle Cannon on a Godos, right?
Legend:
English Name [Romanized Name if not Katakana] (Memory Address):
Attack Accuracy
EP Cost Range Specials
Location
Range can be one of four types: Single (one selected square), Pierce
(hits all Zoids in the same row), Spread (hits all Zoids in the same column),
and Square (hits a 2 x 2 pattern). The first numbers, X-X, tells the range
in squares from the Zoid in which this weapon operates.
Specials refer to one of four different abilities: Paralyze [Mahi], which
renders the target unable to move or attack; DF Ignore [DF Mushi], which
means that the weapon ignores defensive modifiers (listed attack = actual
damage); Chara ??, whose purpose is still unknown; and Cannot Miss, which
only applies to the Decoy weapon and means that the weapon cannot miss its
target.
**************************
Part A: Particle Cannons
**************************
Particle Cannons tend to inflict high levels of damage on Square
patterns, but that is not without cost - they have low accuracy (90% or less
for most, with the Photon Particle Cannon being a noteworthy exception) and
require significant EP to operate.

*******************************
Part B: Lasers / Beam Weapons
*******************************
There is no substantial evidence to prove that anti-laser defense
directly influences these weapons, but the fact that they are grouped tends
to lend credence to that theory. Lasers tend to be very accurate (100%+),
and they also tend to do piercing damage. A few do Spread or Single damage,
and the Ray Storm does Square damage.

***************************
Part C: Ballistic Cannons
***************************
Most Ballistic Cannons are fairly accurate (90-100% for regular cannons,
less for the heavy support cannons). Also, they tend to do more damage than
lasers. Traditionally, they attack a single target (with the exception of
some rail guns, the Hybrid Cannon, and the Super Strength Cannon). Most do
not use any EP.

********************************
Part D: Automatic Fire Weapons
********************************
Referring to multi-barrel auto-fire weapons, Automatic Fire Weapons
typically hit in a spread pattern and have good accuracy (90-95%), but they
do lower than average damage. As always, Anti-Air variants seem to be of
better quality than regular variants.

*************************
Part E: Special Weapons
*************************
Most weapons have no special features, of course. Otherwise, they
wouldn't be special. However, this class of weapons includes those that have
special abilities (Chara, DF, Paralyze), as well as the hyper-accurate Hind
Buster (200% Accuracy). Needless to say, there is a high chance of scoring a
critical with the Hind Buster. All of these weapons require EP to operate,
however, and their damage is usually less than regular weapons.

******************
Part F: Missiles
******************
Missiles are the jack-of-all trades weapon category. There are Single,
Pierce, and Square missiles. They are decently accurate (around 90%), and
produce average to above average damage for low EP costs. Anti-Air variants
have more hitting power than their normal cousins.

*******************************
Part G: Zoid Standard Weapons
*******************************
These weapons are standard on certain types of Zoids. These Offensive
Armaments are provided free of charge when a Zoid is newly built, mounted on
the central Weapons Rack. Even if the Zoid is later sold, these Armaments
will return to your general stockpile. The Zoid associated with the weapon
is noted, where possible.
I believe the Beam Cannon, however, was removed from the Mad Thunder.

***********************
Part H: Miscellaneous
***********************
The Decoy actually resides in the Defense Armaments memory section, but
it must be equipped in an Offensive Weapons Rack. Multiple uses are allowed
and effects seem to be cumulative. After a few hits from this weapon, most
enemies are rendered fairly harmless. However, it has not yet been tested
against bosses for effectiveness. Also, the Decoy cannot miss.
Decoy (2003f18):
Attack: 0 Accuracy: 100%
EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Single Special: Target's Accuracy Drops (~20%)
The weapons that would have resided at memory addresses 2003ecf, 2003ef7,
2003f02, and 2003f03 seem to have been removed. Changing the value there
seems to have no effect on your current general Armament stockpile.
-------------------------------
Section 5: Defensive Armaments
-------------------------------
Defensive armaments can bestow a number of important benefits to any
Zoid, and they have the virtue of being usable in every type of Weapons Rack
except a Fixed Rack.

For range, this can either be self or ally (any friendly Zoid). If the turns
are: Always, this means that the component is always active. HP/EP Maximum
alterations are done after all other considerations (Zoid Growth, Pilot
Bonuses.) Sadly, the purpose of anti-laser equipment is currently unknown,
although there is a chance that it affects all weapons in Section 4.B - Laser
/ Beam Weapons. Whether that would be additional protection or replace the
defense rating is also unknown.

Section 6: Fixed Armaments
---------------------------
I had some misgivings about adding this section to the Armaments
document. Technically, yes, these are armaments. They (obviously) come
standard with certain Zoids.
There is something else about them, though. Unlike other built-in
armaments, it is possible to place these in your main inventory. True,
there's no way you can possibly get the Liger Zero Schneider's Five Blade in
the game, but for some inscrutable reason the designers left that capacity in
the game.
And then there's the Long Range Rifle. (Oh boy.) In the pictures of the
Konig Wolf, it seems quite standard. But as soon as you build one, you'll
quickly find out that there IS no Long Range Rifle normally included in the
game. I was going to therefore leave this section out. That is, until I
replayed the last scenario and found that there IS one Long Range Rifle in a
chest.
Is this some sort of a remnant, an item that the designers forgot? Or
was this intentional? I've never to date gotten any of these armaments by
fighting wild Zoids. But if the guide is to be complete, I have to at least
put in the Long Range Rifle. As they say, in for a penny, in for a pound.
These count as Offensive Armaments - so yes, you can put Five Blade on
any Zoid you like. It will look strange (the Blades are supposed to mesh
with the Liger Zero SC background sprite), since these are not designed like
ordinary armaments (which fit in a fixed space, on top or on the sides of the
Zoid).

course), which I used as a reference for getting through the game;
GameFAQs (www.gamefaqs.com), for being the comprehensive game information
site;
Channel Zi (www.artvilla.com/zoids), for having a ton of Zoid
information, which helped me identify the Zoids and properly translate the
names;
Jeffrey's J<->E Dictionary Server (linear.mv.com/), an excellent on-line
dictionary;
Tomy, for making another anime-based RPG that's so appealing;
Everyone who has sent positive comments, encouragement, and feedback.

Section 9: Miscellaneous
-------------------------
Translations:
More than the other documents, I had to make some judgement calls.
Specifically: tetsukan - the characters are right, I'm just not 100% sure
that's how you romanize them. Rensou - this is not a compound word, the
kanji means connected and armament, but I think 'barrel' fits well in this
case. Hannou-dan - again, not a compount word, but 'hannou' is reaction, and
'dan' is bullet. I think ABM is not a completely incorrect possibility
(anti-bullet missile doesn't make 100% sense).
Errata?:
The 'Concentrated Beam Cannon' [Shuuchuu Beam Hou] has different kanji in
the weapon name and the description. I went with the one in the description,
since it's a word I recognize (Shuuchuuhouka Command). The combination of
those two kanji did not appear as a valid word in the dictionaries I checked.
The 'Hiblit' Vulcan is a name I chose for this weapon. For the life of
me, I cannot properly translate these kanji, gomen.
