About this converter

Breath of Fire weapons run 5 to 255 attack in SNES ROM data. Dirk at 5 opens as Ryu's starting dagger. BronzSD at 12 and BronzBW at 14 follow as first shops. LongSD at 26, LongBW at 28 and FlameRP at 28 form the early tier. GiantHR at 60 and LoyalRP at 64 sit mid table, with LoyalRP returning 3 AP per hit. JadeBW at 80 leads into DragonSD at 110, FlameHR at 120 and FlameSD at 122. HeroBW at 220 tops shop stock. EmporSD at 255 hits the one byte max. Values are Power bytes from ROM offset 0x13E400, cross checked with Novalia Spirit and Griffin Knight item guides.

How to use it

Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds attack. Try EmporSD against Dirk to see max against starter.

BW and HR rows are two handed in game text. WT weight values ride with attack in guides but only attack feeds the converter. Prices in context are shop gold from the same guides and help place each tier. GBA port data matches SNES ROM data for rows shown.
