Since Preludes 14, Joineries enhance a weapon's Virtue attunement, providing 1 to 3 Virtue Attunement pips depending on the Joinery type.

Since Preludes 14, Runes activate on a Heavy Attack. Smiting enemies banks a charge that you can use to trigger the Rune effect at will.

Totems are passive bonuses applied to weapons. They are obtained by charming or rescuing animals in the world.

Rapiers are a weapon type added in Preludes 14 with their own unique moveset. The signature weapons are Navalha and Espadarte.

Soulframe is a free-to-play (F2P) fantasy action RPG developed by Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. Set on the isle of Midrath, it focuses on deliberate melee combat, somber exploration, and co-op play during the Preludes pre-alpha on PC.

Preludes is Digital Extremes' name for Soulframe's current pre-alpha phase. It's an early, evolving version of the game that players can experience as it's built openly alongside the community.

Q: How many weapons are in Soulframe?

Soulframe Hub covers all Soulframe weapons across 9 types, filterable by Virtue attunement. Updated for Preludes 15.

Q: Can I use any weapon with any Pact?

Yes—you can equip any weapon regardless of Pact, but **Virtue attunement** still governs damage scaling. A Pact only gates your three Arcanic skills; mismatched weapons work, yet they feel weaker until you align Virtue Points with the weapon's Courage, Spirit, or Grace lane.

Q: What is Virtue attunement?

Every weapon is attuned to one or more Virtues. Investing Virtue Points into the matching Virtue increases that weapon's damage output.

Q: How many weapons can I equip at once?

You can equip one primary weapon and one sidearm simultaneously.

Q: Can I upgrade weapons?

Yes. Bring weapon fragments and materials to Tuvalkane in the Nightfold to craft and upgrade weapons. Higher-tier recipes require Bond Level 3.

Q: How do I get weapon fragments?

Fragments drop from enemies, quest rewards, and Siege events. Collect enough fragments, then craft the full weapon at Tuvalkane.

Q: Can I mix weapons of different Virtues?

Yes. You can equip any weapon regardless of Virtue, but mismatched attunement will result in lower damage. Experienced players often swap weapons based on enemy resistances.

Uncommon sword-and-shield set (11 Courage + Grace) — balanced offense-defense for Garren Rood builds
Farm fragments from Hark The Collector, Organ operations, or world containers; forge 2 fragments with Moranite
Shield blocks mitigate heavy boss swings; bridges to Lyke-Wake for Spirit-invested builds

Bog & Myrtle is an Uncommon sword-and-shield set requiring 11 Courage plus Grace, favored by Garren Rood and Tethren builds for its balanced offense-defense profile. With 42 base ATK and 26 stagger, the set provides solid mid-game survivability. Farm fragments from Hark The Collector operation, Organ operations (Fuirlands and Kearnhold Lowlands), or world containers including Barrels, Baskets, Crates, Sword Racks, and Collector Crates. Forge 2 fragments at Tuvalkane with Moranite and standard craft materials. The shield component (Bog) absorbs incoming damage while Myrtle's swift sword strikes exploit stagger windows. Purchase from Avakot merchant for 215 Dracs. The lore tells of Myrtle as a swift thorn-blade wielded by a Dendrit commoner, paired with Bog — a rusted round shield scarred by countless wars, once battle-lost and now Envoy-found. This set bridges the gap between starter weapons and higher-tier Courage+Grace options like Lyke-Wake. Effective in both open-world farming and Organ operation encounters where shield blocks mitigate heavy boss swings.

Myrtle, a sword as swift as a pricking thorn. Wide of girth, she whistles fair with every swing. The weapon of a Dendrit commoner, but that does not make her so. Bog, a round and rusted shield. Dented and scarred by more wars than one. To mistress Myrtle, ever-bound. Once battle-lost, now Envoy-found.
