The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E:

• A is Physical Damage
• B is Magical Damage
• C is Fire Damage
• D is Lightning Damage
• E is Dark Damage

Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

• Striking
• Slashing
• Thrusting

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.
See Weakness for physical reduction, Resistance for elemental reduction.

The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the weapon will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a weapon are A / B:

• A is Poison Effect
• B is Bleed Effect

The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.
The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D:

• A is the Strength required
• B is the Dexterity required
• C is the Intelligence required
• D is the Faith required

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon,
while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that your character gains a 100% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing
the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 14 Strength can wield a Great Club (Requires 28 Strength)
properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (14 x 2 = 28)

This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill).
