Snapdragon

Possibly the best weapon in the game. To obtain a Snapdragon, have an unit use a Snapdragon item in-battle. This permanently transforms them into an one-handed sword that gives bonuses based on their original base stats (STR, INT, AGI only). Naturally the bonuses are higher if a Lv.50 character uses it, instead of a Lv.01. All Snapdragons are named after the character who was sacrificed.

There are only four Snapdragons that can be obtained in the game:

• One buried in Belleza (0,11, 4s Plain, burn to find).
• One buried in Sotavento (12, 0, 6s Gravel).
• One dropped at Rebanada's 2nd battle (kill the Vrtras).
• One dropped at Harmonia (kill the Giants).

Be aware that the Snapdragons will be lost permanently if you don't get them in the Story Battle they appear in (they won't be found in Training Mode or Random Battles).
