How to Obtain Royal Arms

Royal Arms Tips, Tricks and Mechanics

  • Royal Arms drain your health per enemy hit. How much, is dependent on the Royal Arm. The HP drain is percentage-based, meaning raising your health wont help.
  • When you defend with a Royal Arm, ethereal blades will materialize around Noctis and will block bullets for free.
  • You cannot airstep with any Royal Arms
  • You cannot perform link strikes with Royal Arms (except with Iris and maybe other guest characters)
  • Royal arms ignore all resistances and vulnerabilities. They don't ignore immunities though.
  • Royal Arms have unique warp strikes, these typically consume a lot of health.
  • Royal Arms don't have "Finishers". Instead, releasing and re-pushing O will skip to the second or third last attack in their basic combo (only works with some Royal Arms).
  • Most Royal Arms don't have full movesets. If I don't cover some directional inputs for some Royal Arms, that mean those attacks don't exist, or at least I haven't discovered them.
  • Your HP is drained based on each enemy struck, not each attack performed.
  • HP drain can actually put you in danger state. Don't try to keep attacking and being confident in being a one-hit wonder. This is especially true if you use Overwhelm at low HP; you might be invincible to enemy attacks, but you can still be downed.
  • Royal Arms ignore resistances, meaning you can confidently take down enemies with weapon/elemental resistances. It cannot, however, push through Enemy invulnerability.
  • Royal Arms cannot take advantages of weaknesses. Their only damage modifiers come from critical attacks and warp strikes.
  • To use Royal Arms without penalty, use Megaphone with Gladio, Black Choker with Noctis and the Infinite HP and MP Regeneration Exploit. The combination regenerates 600 HP per second.
