Poles

Like Katana and Ninja swords, it’s easy to combo attack with poles on a frequent basis. Poke damage is calculated based on your character’s strength and the pole’s attack rating, like most weapons, but instead of checking these factors against an enemy’s defense, they are checked against the enemy’s magick defense! Throw high attack ratings and frequent combo attacks on top of this to create a weapon class that completely decimates opponents without Shell or a strong magick defense. All poles add 25 to Evasion.

Rods

Rods are similar to maces in that they are ideal for support / magick oriented characters. They differ, however, in that their strength does not lie in actually striking the enemy; rods add magick power and extra MP to characters equipped with them. A few of themalso add beneficial status effects on contact. All rods add 6 to Evasion. If you do choose to hit an opponent with a rod, your character’s strength, the rod’s attack rating, and the enemy’s defense are used to determine the damage dealt.

Staves

Staves augment magick users as well, but in a different way. Many staves actually power up certain elements. For example, the spell Blizzaga will cause far more damage when case with an Ice Staff than without it. When used during melee combat, staves like this take into account character strength and magick power, staff attack, and enemy defense to determine damage. All staves add 8 to evasion.
