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.

Rare Wyld Heavy greatsword exclusive to the Paragon Founders Collection at Wares of Sovereign — triple Courage, Spirit, and Grace attunement with no Virtue gate. Post-Preludes 15: 64 ATK, 7% smite; craft with Scrap Brass×20, Sappheline×8, and Moranite×8 (1 fragment, 2500 Dracs at Tuvalkane). Not obtainable from world drops, deeds, or Agari fragment farms; bundle unlock only. Free-to-play Heavy chase: farm Orst-III whole drops, Purity, or Needleseye (18 Courage) from containers and deeds when you need a farmable greatsword on Courage virtue tracks.

The master greatsword of Wyld legend. Not forged of marrow, nor plucked of lash. Not snapped from sacred tree. The Paragon greatsword was sung into being by the Empress of Eldveil. Her voice carved its curves, shaped it sharp. Within the hilt, the virtues of Wylds three... Within the blade, something even more powerful. You are the second Envoy to wield it. The first etched a threat upon the blade: "Return to Bayor."
