Editing List of weapons with reduced specials

<small><div class="noexcerpt">< Return to [[Weapons#Special reduction|Weapons]]</div></small>

'''It is a common misconception that weapons with a 9-star rarity or lower are reduced''' (i.e. their [[Weapons#Special attacks|specials]] have lower activation rates and steal/drain less HP/TP/EXP from their targets), and that those with 10-star rarities or higher are unreduced with some exceptions. 

'''The actual rule''' is that weapons in weapon groups 02, 03, 04, 05, 08, and 09 are eligible to have reduced specials. These weapon group numbers correspond to the groups listed below. 

Reduction is applied to any special that is not a [[Weapons#Sacrificial damage increase|sacrificial]] or elemental damage special. The hardcoded specials on [[Vjaya]], [[Izmaela]], and [[Two Kamui]] are not reduced.
