Zelda Tears of the Kingdom weapon durability has returned, with weapon degradation meaning that practically anything you find is doomed to break - though whether it breaks sooner or later depends on the weapon's individual stats and what you use the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zelda Tears of the Ki🗹ngdom Fuse ability to mix it with, as different materials will alter the durability of the ಌweapon that they're attached to. So with that in mind, here's everything you need to know about weapon degradation in Tears of the Kingdom, including only unbreakable weapon that you'll definitely want to get your hands on as fast as possible.

Yes, there is weapon degradation in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. What that means in this game in particular is that a basic weapon with no fused qualities will break very quickly, usually in 20 hits or less. A visual and auditory warning will t🐭rigger when your weapon has taken extensive damag𒆙e and is close to breaking, so either stash it for later or make those last blows count!

Using Fuse to combine weapons with other weapons, monster parts, or found items is the best way to counter low weapon durability. Even when you fuse your Zelda Tears of the Kingdom weapons to create some unique tools, they will still break after some time. Fuse is the best way to delay your weapons breaking, however, since there is no way to repair weapons or even sell damaged ones for rupees. You also can't take apart your fusions, so be sure to check how much damage each monster part or item will give you by chec♓king the the "Fuse ability" number in the upper left-hand corner of the item's picture꧑ in your inventory,

There is one weapon that won't break - at least, not a second time. If you want to get ahold of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zelda Tear🐼s of the Kingdom master sword, we have a whole de✅dicated guide to help you do just that.

You can improve your Tears of the Kingdom weapon's durability by means of Fuse, one of the new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zelda Tears of the Kingdom abili♒ties. This is a great way to keep your faಌvorite items performing at their best for longer. 

Some fused items, like Black Moblin Horns, add not only damage points but extra d🐻urability to your weapons. Other monster parts, like Gibdo Bone and Bokoblin Arm Bones, add a lot ꦦof damage but break extremely easily.

Remember, this isn't the same thing as repairing the weapon - it's just increasing it𒆙s "max health", to use a helpful comparison. Still, it's more than what Breath of the Wild offered, and takes a lot of the sting out of weapon degradation in the long run, since weapon drops are very freque𝓀nt in Tears of the Kingdom.
