Royal Arms
The thirteen ancestral weapons of the Lucian kings, recovered from royal tombs. Each one is Noctis-only, drains HP while equipped and contributes to the Armiger.
| Name | Type | Description | Stats | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sword of the Father | Royal Arm (Sword) | King Regis's own blade, a balanced royal sword that anchors Noctis's starting kit. | Attack: High Hp Drain: Low Speed: Fast Reach: Medium | Regis's blade, in Noctis's possession from the opening chapters |
| Sword of the Wise | Royal Arm (Sword) | A ceremonial longsword of one of the early Lucian kings. | Attack: Very High Hp Drain: Moderate Speed: Medium Reach: Medium | Royal tomb in the Leide region |

| Swords of the Wanderer | Royal Arm (Dual Daggers) | A paired dagger set built for speed. The shortest reach in the Royal Arms is offset by the fastest combo chain and a cheap warp-strike, making it the default choice for building the Armiger gauge. | Attack: Medium Hp Drain: Low Speed: Very Fast Reach: Short | Royal tomb in the Duscae region |
| Blade of the Mystic | Royal Arm (Sword) | The blade of the Founder King, Somnus Lucis Caelum, and the centerpiece of the Royal Arms. | Attack: Very High Hp Drain: High Speed: Fast Reach: Medium | Royal tomb unlocked in the later chapters |

| Trident of the Oracle | Royal Arm (Polearm) | The trident carried by the Oracle line, with the longest reach of the Royal Arms. | Attack: High Hp Drain: Moderate Speed: Medium Reach: Very Long | Tied to the Oracle line and Lunafreya's story |
| Star of the Rogue | Royal Arm (Shuriken) | A thrown royal shuriken that turns Noctis's ranged option into a royal arm. | Attack: Medium Hp Drain: Very Low Speed: Fast Reach: Ranged | Royal tomb in the Leide region |
| Shield of the Just | Royal Arm (Shield) | A royal greatshield that trades attack for the strongest block in the game. | Attack: Low Hp Drain: Low Guard: Highest Reach: Short | Royal tomb in the Cleigne region |
| Bow of the Clever | Royal Arm (Bow) | A royal bow that gives Noctis a charged ranged shot. | Attack: High Hp Drain: Moderate Speed: Slow Reach: Ranged | Royal tomb in the Duscae region |
| Mace of the Fierce | Royal Arm (Mace) | A blunt royal mace that staggers on almost every hit. | Attack: Very High Hp Drain: High Speed: Slow Reach: Medium | Royal tomb in the Cleigne region |
| Cerberus | Royal Arm (Firearm) | A royal rifle that fires a piercing round through a line of enemies. | Attack: High Hp Drain: Moderate Speed: Slow Reach: Ranged | Royal tomb in the Leide region |
| Sword of the Tall | Royal Arm (Greatsword) | A massive royal greatsword whose overhead swings knock enemies down and whose warp-strike lands like a falling pillar. | Attack: Extremely High Hp Drain: Very High Speed: Very Slow Reach: Long | Royal tomb in the Cleigne region |
