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 third-person action RPG developed by Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. It is set on the isle of Midrath and focuses on melee combat, exploration, and co-op play.

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.

Sirin ceremonial bow (13 Spirit). Gourdo / Kabocha fragments; Thawtide hunter bow with Grace+Spirit. Post-P15: 45 ATK, 5% smite.

A ceremonial bow of the Dendrit Thawtide tradition. Maestro is a hunter's bow, simple in make but for its uniquely carved arrows. When plucked and loosed just so, the wind whistles through the fletching to mimic the call of the Cardinal. Each year, just before Thawtide's final dawn, ‘tis the hunter's rite to summon the flock to darkest sky. One long whistle to cue the chorus. For it is the Cardinals’ morning song that wakes Mora from her longest slumber.
