Tales of Ariseis a huge game, and there is a significant amount of combat throughout its lengthy campaign and the post-game content. Thankfully, the combat system is one of the series' best, and real evolution of the Linear Motion Battle System of old. The fighting system consistently evolves as the characters level up and unlock more skills.

In addition to gaining new skills and abilities,Tales of Arise’s fighting system wouldn’t be as entertaining without a great selection of weapons. Each character has their own ultimate weapon to obtain. Here’s where players can get them all, and unleash every character’s fighting potential.
Note:This list won’t be includingthe character’sDevil Arms Weapons. The Devil Arms are a recurring weapon in theTalesseries but they come with one major drawback. The effectiveness of the Devil Arms is dependant on how many enemies the wearer has defeated in their playthrough. With the amount of fighting needed inTales of Arise, it’s likely the Devil Arms weapon will be the most powerful weapon for the most used characters in the game. However, for the purposes of this guide, the Devil Arms weapons have not been included.
Updated by June 10, 2025, by Michael Llewellyn:There is a lot of useful and powerful weapon in Tales of Arise that will be more than sufficient for completing the game’s main story. However, the most powerful weapons in the game can only be found after the game has been completed. Having a good understanding of how each character works in battle will go a long way toward using these weapons effectively. However, the best weapons in Tales of Arise aren’t just limited to the endgame content, as one can carry them over into the New Game Plus mode.
