To equip various weapon types, you first need to see if you meet the Skill and Proficiency check. As you make your way through the game, you will eventually acquire complex weapon types that are incredibly powerful but have some stat requirements that you must meet to wield them.

To meet the Skill and Proficiency check, you must level up your party and collect skill points. Using them will help you meet the weapon Rpfieciency requirement. Only then will you be able to use them in combat.

To see if you can use a weapon, go to your inventory again and select it. Beside the pop-up box, you will see the words “Can be equipped” if you have met its Proficiency requirement.

As the complex weapon types are best for the late game, try meeting their requirements as soon as you can with skill points.
