Single-build weapons including Proof of Humanity, Holy Sword of the Ark, and Uroboros' Eye round off the Weapons Showcase. The second trailer, the Legion Arm Showcase, gives fans a detailed look at the dual weapon and combat element that will be wholly unique to Lies of P.
Protagonist P has a steampunk-style robotic Legion Arm that can be customized with a variety of weapons and abilities, such as the AOE attack of Deus Ex Machina, the shield of Aegis, and the arm cannon of Falcon Eye. These weapons offer a variety of advanced combat opportunities that will allow players to enjoy a diversity of gameplay options.
