This is Star Ocean: Anamnesis List of Knuckles which is updated depending on the current meta of Global version.
You can use the list as your reference. This list and all of description and/or analysis are not absolute since this is still based only on community/personal assessments and calculation.
Note to players:
- Gray colour indicates a limited-time weapon.
- Atk/Int stats are derived from the weapon at level 20.
- LB Factor Level is the limit break level at which the third factor is unlocked on the weapon (if applicable)
| Name | ATK Stat | INT Stat | Factor | LB Factor Level | Obtain | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloody Knuckles | 545 | 0 | ATK +15% Acrobatic Locus Damage +20% Absorb 10% of Damage Dealt by Normal Attacks as HP | 3 | Launch Coin Shop Knuckles Coin Shop Gacha | Cliff (Skill) | Great starter knuckles. Provides an array of useful factors, and grants inbuilt lifesteal on attacks, which when used correctly helps immensely. Only really held back having no element. |
| Raven Talons | 850 | 849 | Single Target Damage +15% Fists of Fury Damage +20% Damage +10% | 3 | Knuckles Coin Shop Gacha | Cliff (Skill) | Good for Cliff, all three factors help him out, however it is still better to use elemental weapons when appropriate. Does beat out elemental weapons for easier content (where you don't reach Elemental Burst). |
| Gaia Godfists | 840 | 841 | Imbues Attacks with Earth Element Triple Kick Damage +20% None | n/a | Knuckles Coin Shop Gacha Transmute | Cliff (Skill) Anne (Skill) Earth weakness bosses (none currently) | Grants Earth Element, which automatically makes it a great choice. No content right now is weak to earth, however it still allows you to contribute to an Elemental Burst. |
| Burst of Fire | 835 | 833 | Fire Damage Dealt +15% Drill Spike Damage +20% None | n/a | Knuckles Coin Shop Gacha | Anne (Skill) Transmutation Fodder | Decent for Anne if you want to use her, but not optimal in general and should not be traded for otherwise. |
| Damask Gauntlets | 530 | 0 | ATK +15%, DEF - 15% Crescent Locus Damage +20% None | n/a | Knuckles Coin Shop Gacha | Anne (Skill) Transmutation Fodder | Worse version of the Bloody Knuckles. |
| Gyro-gear Knuckles | 475 | 0 | Critical Hit Damage +20% Drill Spike Damage +20% ATK +5% | 5 | Crystal Guardian Coin Shop | Anne (Skill) Transmutation Fodder | Anne's event weapons. Mostly garbage, usable for her if you play her. |
| Silver Claws | 961 | 962 | Damage dealt to demons +40% No flinching when taking damage of 10% hp or less ATK +5% when behind target | 5 | Gacha | Demon race bosses (Queen, Eyeball) Cliff/10 for these events, subpar pull otherwise | Like most gacha weapons with racial, it's good for the event it's released with. Not nearly as good as the elemental weapons in the banner, but if you're a fist main, will help DPS in these events. Personal anti-flinch is nice, though the threshhold is low. Also easier for melee units to position behind an enemy. |
| Bloodring Knuckles | 582 | 582 | ATK +15% / INT +15% Damage to Humans +25% Absorb 10% of Damage Dealt by Regular Attacks as HP. | 5 | Gacha (Michael) | Rena (+INT) rena/10 | As a knuckle caster, Rena definitely gains from these knuckles, as they have +15% INT on them. If you plan to main Rena, these would be the weapons you want to use for awhile, as for the most part she is a dedicated healer. |
| Knuckles of Hope | 474 | 478 | Light damage dealt +15% DEF +10% Crit Chance +4% | 5 | Event Shop (Michael) | Rena (Element) slightly bulkier rena/10 | Well, they do give a little bit of a defensive buff for Rena. Otherwise, you could easily transmute the pair of 6 for a fist which gives INT, not really important which one. Usable, but not optimal in any sense unless you really notice yourself dying. |
| Feral Caltrops | 488 | 490 | Imbues attacks with fire Fiery Hammer of Might +15% damage Normal attack AP recovery +20% | 5 | Executioner (Event Shop) | Ilia (Skill) Fire weak bosses this fist of mine burns with an awesome power/10 | There are technically fists which imbue with fire as a 4*, but these are decent and come with some innate AP recovery on normals. Although MLB Gaia are better as element fists, these give some strong coverage. |
| Fanged Knuckles | 493 | 487 | +10% DMG to Pyroclast Punch +10% DMG to Machines +5% Crit Chance | 5 | Coro Revorse (Exchange) | Transmutation Fodder | Regular event weapon levels, transmute immediately. |
| Blackflame Gloves | 952 | 952 | Imbue Fire Element +30% DMG to Machines +5% Crit Chance | 5 | Gacha | Fire weak bosses Machine bosses lighter flame / 10 | A decent fire option for fist users, though may not be needed if you have Feral. Not amazing factors unless on a machine boss, but they're elemental, as usual. Decent statline, falling into the level of the 950 series weapons. GL exclusive (?). |
