The three main types of weapons - Axe, Lance and Sword - have strengths and weaknesses against each other. For units that can use more than one type of weapon, the Weapon Triangle is an important system to understand.

In the Weapon Triangle, the Sword is greater than the Axe, the Axe is stronger than the Lance and the Lance is superior to the Sword. Knowing this triangle of attributes can ultimately save you grief in battle.
