Crea weapons
Crea weapons (known in Japan as クレア - Claire weapons, possibly a reference to an NPC from Phantasy Star Online) are a series of melee weapons based on outdated Photon designs. Currently these weapons can only be obtained through Item synthesis.
They can be split into two distinct categories - Crea replicas and a second category, the sole representative of which is currently Crea Doubles.
Crea replicas
Crea replicas are weapons based on designs from the earliest days of Photon technology. Currently, all replicas are 7★ and are made by one of the three major weapons manufacturers. There are replicas of Sabers, Twin sabers, Daggers, Twin daggers, and Swords.
Crea replicas are generally less powerful than their normal counterparts, and do not grind well either. However, they have the advantage of being able to hit one more target than a weapon of the same type would usually be able to. This only applies to normal attacks, however, Photon arts are unchanged.
Only Humans and Newmans can equip Crea replicas, the reason for this is unknown.
Some Crea replicas appear similar to weapons from Phantasy Star Online, which would also fit with the descriptions of them being based on early designs.
The following Crea replicas are known to exist in the game:
- Creasabra (Note that the board for this weapon is incorrectly called [B] Crenata)
- Ryo-Creasabra (Note that the board for this weapon is incorrectly called [B] Ryo-Crenata)
- Crea-zashi
- Ryo-Creazashi
- Cresaud
Crea Doubles
Sometimes referred to as a True Crea, the Crea Doubles is a double saber based on a legendary photon weapon (specifically, the Double Saber from Phantasy Star Online).
Crea Doubles can be equipped by all races and does not hit extra targets. It is also the only known Crea to be made by Kubara. In addition, it is 10★ and therefore is an S-Rank weapon.
