# Base Weapons

<figure><img src="/files/khMyulAZkRCimWoT59lT" alt=""><figcaption><p>This is not final Output</p></figcaption></figure>

In Warlands, characters are minted with three base weapons, each with comparable damage. As characters level up, progressing to a maximum level of 3, they unlock one base weapon per level. For example, at level 1, a character may unlock a sword, at level 2, a bow, and at level 3, a staff.

The 3 Base Weapons are

* Sword: This weapon class is typically used for close combat and has high damage output. It may have a slower attack speed compared to other weapon classes and may require more strength to wield effectively. It may also have a higher chance of stunning opponents.
* Bow and Arrow: This weapon class is used for long-range combat and allows the user to attack from a distance. It may have lower damage output compared to the sword, but it can be used to target specific areas on the opponent's body. It may require more dexterity and skill to use effectively.
* Magical Staff: This weapon class uses magic to cast spells and attack opponents. It may have lower damage output compared to the sword and bow and arrow, but it can be used to attack multiple opponents at once or to apply status effects. It may require more intelligence and mana to use effectively.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.warlands.io/whitepaper/gameplay/weapons-and-abilities/base-weapons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
