Zoids Saga Armaments v.0.9 Released on May 14, 2002 by Soren Kanzaki (soren_kanzaki@yahoo.com) ------------------- Table of Contents: ------------------- Section 1: Overview Section 2: Version History Section 3: Armaments in General Section 4: Offensive Armaments Part A: Particle Cannons Part B: Lasers / Beam Weapons Part C: Ballistic Cannons Part D: Automatic Fire Weapons Part E: Special Weapons Part F: Missiles Part G: Zoid Standard Weapons Part H: Miscellaneous Section 5: Defensive Armaments Section 6: Fixed Armaments Section 7: Credits Section 8: Copyright / Authorization Section 9: Miscellaneous -------------------- Section 1: Overview -------------------- Zoids Saga. Is it an RPG? Yes, but there's more to it than that. The ability to customize, upgrade, and collect Zoids gives it more complexity than an average RPG (although the growth of the Zoids is less complex than most RPGs). The proper selection and acquisition of Armaments is a vital step to victory. But how is a non-Japanese speaking player supposed to know their Hybrid Cannon from a Napalm Missile? Well ... --------------------------- Section 2: Version History --------------------------- 0.8 (3/20/2002): First version. All armaments should be included. Some translation issues (tetsukan, rensou, hannou-dan, shuuchuu, hiblit), but this version is probably as correct as it will get unless someone is kind enough to make translation corrections ... 0.9 (5/14/2002): Added location information for several armaments. Corrected E Protector. Added Fixed Armaments section (see miscellaneous). -------------------------------- Section 3: Armaments in General -------------------------------- The Armaments system in Zoids Saga allows for the massive upgrade and customization of all Zoids in the game. Sure, a Lightning Saix is fast - but why not put a Extreme Maneuver Thruster on a Gojulas G Ogre and make it faster? All Zoids have 3 Weapons Racks. These Racks can be of three types: Fixed, Offensive/Defensive, and Defensive. Fixed Racks contain a set weapon that cannot be removed or altered. Offensive/Defensive Racks can contain any type of Armament, and Defense Racks can only contain defensive armaments. To just check your current general stockpile of Armaments, enter the Start Menu, select the first option (Status), and then select the third option (Armaments). To change the currently equipped Armaments on your active Zoids, enter the Start Menu and select the third option. The first rack is always the left shoulder (closest to the screen) rack, the second is the centerline rack, and the last is the right shoulder rack (the Zoid's body will be made transparent so you can see the Armament in question). Finally, your stockpile has a maximum limit of 9 of any single Armament (but it can hold all the different Armaments you want). However, Armaments carried on Zoids do not count towards this limit. If you sell or remove an Armament from a Zoid that you currently have 9 of in your stockpile, the excess Armament is lost. Armaments can be bought and sold at Armaments Shops inside towns (a cannon or missile on the sign) and from certain other locations. ------------------------------- Section 4: Offensive Armaments ------------------------------- When the built-in weapons and attacks of a Zoid aren't enough, it is time to visit an Armaments Shop and stock up. Some of the most powerful weapons in the game can simply be attached or removed from any Zoid, and many strong special abilities, such as DF Ignore and Paralyze, are most easily found on Offensive Armaments. Besides, it's fun to put a Charged Particle Cannon on a Godos, right? Legend: English Name [Romanized Name if not Katakana] (Memory Address): Attack Accuracy EP Cost Range Specials Location Range can be one of four types: Single (one selected square), Pierce (hits all Zoids in the same row), Spread (hits all Zoids in the same column), and Square (hits a 2 x 2 pattern). The first numbers, X-X, tells the range in squares from the Zoid in which this weapon operates. Specials refer to one of four different abilities: Paralyze [Mahi], which renders the target unable to move or attack; DF Ignore [DF Mushi], which means that the weapon ignores defensive modifiers (listed attack = actual damage); Chara ??, whose purpose is still unknown; and Cannot Miss, which only applies to the Decoy weapon and means that the weapon cannot miss its target. ************************** Part A: Particle Cannons ************************** Particle Cannons tend to inflict high levels of damage on Square patterns, but that is not without cost - they have low accuracy (90% or less for most, with the Photon Particle Cannon being a noteworthy exception) and require significant EP to operate. Particle Cannon [Ryuushi Hou] (2003ea9): Attack: 66 Accuracy: 85% EP Cost: 6 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Mt. Osa Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 3, Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 3, Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 10 Heavy Particle Cannon [Chou Ryuushi Hou](2003eaa): Attack: 81 Accuracy: 80% EP Cost: 6 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 3, Romeo City W Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Hyper Particle Cannon [Hyper Ryuushi Hou] (2003eab): Attack: 97 Accuracy: 85% EP Cost: 8 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Romeo City W Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Plasma Particle Cannon [Plasma Ryuushi Hou] (2003eac): Attack: 115 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 8 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6, Central Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6, Solid's Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 7 Photon Particle Cannon [Photon Ryuushi Hou] (2003ead): Attack: 90 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 4, Romeo City W Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 External Charged Particle Cannon [Gaibu Kadenryuushi Hou] (2003eae): Attack: 200 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 16 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 8 Charged Particle Cannon [Kadenryuushi Hou] (2003eaf): Attack: 230 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 20 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Castle Ruins, Scenario 8 (only one in the game) ******************************* Part B: Lasers / Beam Weapons ******************************* There is no substantial evidence to prove that anti-laser defense directly influences these weapons, but the fact that they are grouped tends to lend credence to that theory. Lasers tend to be very accurate (100%+), and they also tend to do piercing damage. A few do Spread or Single damage, and the Ray Storm does Square damage. Compact Laser [Kogata Laser] (2003eb0): Attack: 10 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Large Hanger, Scenario 3 (only one in the game) 2 Barrel Laser (2003eb1): Attack: 25 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Shield Liger, Desert Armaments Shop, Scenario 2 3 Barrel Laser (2003eb2): Attack: 40 Accuracy: 120% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: City Armaments Shop, Scenario 4 4 Barrel Laser (2003eb3): Attack: 55 Accuracy: 130% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Main Dome Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Anti-Air Laser [Taikuu Laser] (2003eb4): Attack: 15 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Pierce 2-Barrel Anti-Air Laser [2-Ren Taikuu Laser] (2003eb5): Attack: 30 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Abandoned Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 3 3-Barrel Anti-Air Laser [3-Ren Taikuu Laser] (2003eb6): Attack: 45 Accuracy: 120% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 4 4-Barrel Anti-Air Laser [4-Ren Taikuu Laser) (2003eb7): Attack: 60 Accuracy: 130% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Main Dome Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Laser Gun [Laser Tsutsu] (2003eb8): Attack: 20 Accuracy: 120% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Single Pulse Laser Gun [Pulse Laser Tsutsu] (2003eb9): Attack: 25 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 1 Beam Needle (2003eba): Attack: 43 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce Gatling Beam (2003ebb): Attack: 43 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-2 Spread Beam Rifle (2003ebc): Attack: 50 Accuracy: 120% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Location: Desert Armaments Shop, Scenario 2, Abandoned Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 3 Assault Beam Cannon [Assault Beam Hou] (2003ebd): Attack: 40 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-2 Single Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 1 Linear Laser (2003ebe): Attack: 36 Accuracy: 130% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Desert Armaments Shop, Scenario 2 Beam Cannon (2003ebf): Attack: 64 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 1 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Mt.

Also, they tend to do more damage than lasers. Traditionally, they attack a single target (with the exception of some rail guns, the Hybrid Cannon, and the Super Strength Cannon). Most do not use any EP. Cannon [Cannon Hou] (2003ec2): Attack: 34 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 2-3 Single Double Cannon (2003ec3): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Romeo City E Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Triple Cannon (2003ec4): Attack: 81 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Romeo City E Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Linear Cannon (2003ec5): Attack: 75 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 0 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 4, Romeo City E Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Accelerator Cannon [Kasoku Cannon Hou] (2003ec6): Attack: 86 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 1 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Romeo City E Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Ultra Cannon (2003ec7): Attack: 135 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 2 Range: 2-3 Single Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 8, Ultrasaurus Armaments Shop, Scenario 8 Rail Gun (2003ec8): Attack: 70 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce High Speed Rail Gun [Kousoku Rail Gun] (2003ec9): Attack: 82 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Romeo City N Armaments Shop, Scenario 5, South Dome Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Short Range Rail Gun [Tankyori Rail Gun] (2003eca): Attack: 113 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-2 Single Location: Romeo City N Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Long Range Ray Gun [Choukyori Ray Gun] (2003ecb): Attack: 34 Accuracy: 150% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Linear Ray Gun (2003ecc): Attack: 46 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Assault Cannon [Totsugeki Hou] (2003ecd): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-2 Single Heavy Cannon [Kasane Hou] (2003ece): Attack: 60 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 1 Range: 2-3 Single Hybrid Cannon [Hybrid Hou] (2003ed0): Attack: 115 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 8 Range: 1-3 Square Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 8, Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 9 Shockwave (possibly Impact) Cannon [Shougeki Hou] (2003ed1): Attack: 55 Accuracy: 85% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Single Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 1 3-Barrel Shockwave Cannon [3-Ren Shougeki Hou] (2003ed2): Attack: 81 Accuracy: 85% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Single Location: Mt.

As always, Anti-Air variants seem to be of better quality than regular variants. Machine Gun (2003ed6): Attack: 25 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Mt. Osa Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 3 Vulcan Cannon [Barukan Hou] (2003ed7): Attack: 40 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Abandoned Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 3 Heavy Vulcan [Kasane Barukan] (2003ed8): Attack: 60 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Romeo City N Armaments Shop, Scenario 5, South Dome Armaments Shop, Scenario 5 Hyper Vulcan (2003ed9): Attack: 88 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Central Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6, Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 7 Anti-Air Machine Gun [Taikuu Mashin Gan] (2003eda): Attack: 27 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Anti-Air Vulcan [Taikuu Barukan] (2003edb): Attack: 48 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: City Armaments Shop, Scenario 4 Anti-Air Mega Vulcan [Taikuu Mega Barukan] (2003edc): Attack: 73 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-1 Spread Location: Hargen City Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Gatling Cannon [Gatoringu Hou] (2003edd): Attack: 23 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-2 Spread Heavy Gatling (2003ede): Attack: 63 Accuracy: 92% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-2 Spread Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6, Hargen City Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Acceleration Gatling [Kasoku Gatling] (2003edf): Attack: 55 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-2 Spread Location: Mt. Osa Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 3, Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 10 ************************* Part E: Special Weapons ************************* Most weapons have no special features, of course. Otherwise, they wouldn't be special. However, this class of weapons includes those that have special abilities (Chara, DF, Paralyze), as well as the hyper-accurate Hind Buster (200% Accuracy). Needless to say, there is a high chance of scoring a critical with the Hind Buster. All of these weapons require EP to operate, however, and their damage is usually less than regular weapons. Sonic Wave Cannon [Onpa Hou] (2003ee0): Attack: 0 Accuracy: 120% EP Cost: 5 Range: 1-3 Single Special: Chara !43c5 !387a !323d Sulphuric Acid Cannon [Ryuusan Hou] (2003ee1): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Single Special: DF Ignore Location: Hargen City Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Freezing Gas Cannon [Reitou Gas Hou] (2003ee2): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Pierce Special: DF Ignore Location: Hargen City Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Flamethrower [Kaenhoushokuki] (2003ee3): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 3 Range: 1-2 Spread Special: DF Ignore Location: Central Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Ele Shot [Ere Shahto] (2003ee4): Attack: 34 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Single Special: DF Ignore, Paralyze Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 6 Hind Buster [Haindo Basutaa] (2003ee5): Attack: 250 Accuracy: 200% EP Cost: 12 Range: 1-3 Single Location: Castle Ruins, Scenario 8, Northwest Ruins, Scenario 10 (only two in the game) Poison Gas Sprayer [Doku Gas Funmuki] (2003ee6): Attack: 20 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Single Special: Chara Location: Solid's Base Armaments Shop, Scenario 7, Ultrasaurus Armaments Shop, Scenario 8 ****************** Part F: Missiles ****************** Missiles are the jack-of-all trades weapon category. There are Single, Pierce, and Square missiles. They are decently accurate (around 90%), and produce average to above average damage for low EP costs. Anti-Air variants have more hitting power than their normal cousins. 4 Barrel Missile [4 Rensou Misairu] (2003ee7): Attack: 48 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Location: Arcadia Town Armaments Shop, Scenario 1 8 Barrel Missile [8 Rensou Misairu] (2003ee8): Attack: 60 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 1 Range: 1-3 Pierce Location: Mt.

These Offensive Armaments are provided free of charge when a Zoid is newly built, mounted on the central Weapons Rack. Even if the Zoid is later sold, these Armaments will return to your general stockpile. The Zoid associated with the weapon is noted, where possible. I believe the Beam Cannon, however, was removed from the Mad Thunder. Linear Cannon (2003ef4): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 2-3 Single Type: Red Horn Hiblit Vulcan [?? Barukan] (2003ef5): Attack: 48 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Spread Type: Dark Horn 105mm Beam (2003ef6): Attack: 66 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Square Type: Elephander 105mm Beam (2003ef8): Attack: 66 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Square Type: Elephander CM 2 Barrel Beam [2 Rensou Beam] (2003ef9): Attack: 27 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Saber Tiger 2 Barrel Beam [2 Rensou Beam] (2003efa): Attack: 34 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Zaber Tiger 2 Barrel Beam [2 Rensou Beam] (2003efb): Attack: 54 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Square Type: Zaber Tiger RS 2 Barrel Accelerator Beam [2 Kasoku Rensou Beam] (2003efc): Attack: 33 Accuracy: 85% EP Cost: 0 Range 1-3 Single Type: Helcat Pulse Laser Cannon [Pulse Laser Hou] (2003efd): Attack: 45 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 3 Range: 1-3 Spread Type: Lightning Saix Pulse Laser Cannon [Pulse Laser Hou] (2003efe): Attack: 45 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 3 Range: 1-3 Spread Type: Lightning Saix A Beam Cannon [Beam Cannon Hou] (2003eff): Attack: 80 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Spread Type: Lightning Saix B Long Range Beam Cannon [Choukyori Beam Hou] (2003f00): Attack: 21 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Heldigunner Long Range Beam Cannon [Choukyori Beam Hou] (2003f01): Attack: 21 Accuracy: 110% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Heldigunner DT 2 Barrel Beam Cannon [2 Rensou Beam Hou] (2003f04): Attack: 20 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Command Wolf 2 Barrel Beam Cannon [2 Rensou Beam Hou] (2003f05): Attack: 27 Accuracy: 95% EP Cost: 0 Range: 1-3 Single Type: Command Wolf NEW Beam Cannon (2003f06): Attack: 130 Accuracy: 90% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Square Type: Mad Thunder Armor Piercing Vulcan [Tetsukan Barukan] (2003f07): Attack: 72 Accuracy: 94% EP Cost: 4 Range: 1-3 Spread Type: Shadow Fox *********************** Part H: Miscellaneous *********************** The Decoy actually resides in the Defense Armaments memory section, but it must be equipped in an Offensive Weapons Rack. Multiple uses are allowed and effects seem to be cumulative. After a few hits from this weapon, most enemies are rendered fairly harmless. However, it has not yet been tested against bosses for effectiveness. Also, the Decoy cannot miss. Decoy (2003f18): Attack: 0 Accuracy: 100% EP Cost: 2 Range: 1-3 Single Special: Target's Accuracy Drops (~20%) The weapons that would have resided at memory addresses 2003ecf, 2003ef7, 2003f02, and 2003f03 seem to have been removed. Changing the value there seems to have no effect on your current general Armament stockpile. ------------------------------- Section 5: Defensive Armaments ------------------------------- Defensive armaments can bestow a number of important benefits to any Zoid, and they have the virtue of being usable in every type of Weapons Rack except a Fixed Rack. Legend: English Name [Romanized Name if not Katakana] (Memory Address): Effect Range EP Cost Turns For range, this can either be self or ally (any friendly Zoid). If the turns are: Always, this means that the component is always active. HP/EP Maximum alterations are done after all other considerations (Zoid Growth, Pilot Bonuses.) Sadly, the purpose of anti-laser equipment is currently unknown, although there is a chance that it affects all weapons in Section 4.B - Laser / Beam Weapons.

Range: Self EP Cost: 0 Turns: Always --------------------------- Section 6: Fixed Armaments --------------------------- I had some misgivings about adding this section to the Armaments document. Technically, yes, these are armaments. They (obviously) come standard with certain Zoids. There is something else about them, though. Unlike other built-in armaments, it is possible to place these in your main inventory. True, there's no way you can possibly get the Liger Zero Schneider's Five Blade in the game, but for some inscrutable reason the designers left that capacity in the game. And then there's the Long Range Rifle. (Oh boy.) In the pictures of the Konig Wolf, it seems quite standard. But as soon as you build one, you'll quickly find out that there IS no Long Range Rifle normally included in the game. I was going to therefore leave this section out. That is, until I replayed the last scenario and found that there IS one Long Range Rifle in a chest. Is this some sort of a remnant, an item that the designers forgot? Or was this intentional? I've never to date gotten any of these armaments by fighting wild Zoids. But if the guide is to be complete, I have to at least put in the Long Range Rifle. As they say, in for a penny, in for a pound. These count as Offensive Armaments - so yes, you can put Five Blade on any Zoid you like. It will look strange (the Blades are supposed to mesh with the Liger Zero SC background sprite), since these are not designed like ordinary armaments (which fit in a fixed space, on top or on the sides of the Zoid).

Specifically: tetsukan - the characters are right, I'm just not 100% sure that's how you romanize them. Rensou - this is not a compound word, the kanji means connected and armament, but I think 'barrel' fits well in this case. Hannou-dan - again, not a compount word, but 'hannou' is reaction, and 'dan' is bullet. I think ABM is not a completely incorrect possibility (anti-bullet missile doesn't make 100% sense). Errata?: The 'Concentrated Beam Cannon' [Shuuchuu Beam Hou] has different kanji in the weapon name and the description. I went with the one in the description, since it's a word I recognize (Shuuchuuhouka Command). The combination of those two kanji did not appear as a valid word in the dictionaries I checked. The 'Hiblit' Vulcan is a name I chose for this weapon. For the life of me, I cannot properly translate these kanji, gomen.
