Editing ES weapons

[[File:ES Saber.png|thumb|ES Saber|right]]
ES weapons (often referred to as "S-Rank weapons" or simply "S-Ranks") are a special category of weapon which encompasses all weapon types in addition to a few extras (such as {{Gun|es|ES Needle}}, based on {{Gun|rare|Spread Needle}}). For ES weapons of basic weapon types, they have the visual of a basic weapon with a brown photon. Unlike regular weapons, they have the following unique properties:
*Cannot have any attributes
*May be given a custom 8-character name (A-Z only, entered at the time the weapon is received)
* Can have a custom special applied, which will not be reduced regardless of weapon type
ES weapons are obtained upon a character's completion of [[Challenge Mode]] with an S-Rank rating, with the choice of ES weapon types offered depending on the episode cleared.

==Additional information==
* Unless otherwise stated, each weapon can have any of the specials from Paganini.
* ES weapons cannot be equipped by android characters if they have a [[Spirit]], [[Geist]], or TP Recovery special added.
* Despite having a rarity of 12 stars, ES weapons are only worth 5 Team Points individually when donated.

==Adding specials==
{{AddingSpecials}}

==Usage==
ES Weapons are especially useful since specials added to them are unreduced regardless of weapon type. This gives them a much higher success rate or special power at inflicting special effects to multiple targets, or repeatedly inflict special effects to a single target, compared to most other weapons. They also fill in the weapon catalog, such as having a Needle-type weapon with specials other than Seize, or having a Partisan-type weapon with Hell.

Since the specials Berserk, Spirit and Charge are never reduced, non-rare counterparts, if they exist, are typical more powerful if they come with high hit% attribute. Certain rare weapons with unreduced specials will also be more powerful than the ES weapon of the same type and with the same special effect.
==Trivia==
* According to [[Paganini]], ES weapons were developed by the [[Principal Tyrell|Principal]].
* Using the data from {{Quest link|The East Tower}}, Paganini discovered a method to add Special Effect to ES weapons with a certain amount of {{Tool|rare|Photon Drop|Photon Drops}}.
* ES weapons cannot have attributes, as the data for attributes is used to store the custom name.
