Line 2:
A weapon which gets extra bonuses (possibly including [[Armor-Piercing Attack]] or [[One-Hit Kill]]) against a specific enemy type, without resorting to [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]] (e.g. silver vs. werewolves) or [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] (e.g. using fire against an ice monster).
There may be some overlap with [[Achilles' Heel]]; in such cases, consider the weapon's effectiveness against things that ''aren't'' the [[Nigh Invulnerable]] critter.
Unique-named weapons with this kind of property often come with [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] naming.
Line 50:
* ''[[The Legend of Dragoon]]'' has two ancient weapons forged to defeat Dragons and Dragoons: one of them was the [[Laser Blade|Dragon Buster]] sword, capable of piercing the Dragoon armor. Unlike most video game examples, it's your ''enemy'' that wields it, handicapping you during your battles against him.
* In ''[[Legend of Mana]]'', weapon upgrades can bestow ''or remove'' this effect.
* ''[[
* ''[[Wizardry]]'' has weapons dealing double damage to specific types. 7-th has weapons against Dragon, Robot, Undead and, due to a silly bug, Fighter; in 8-th against Android, Beast, Demon, Dragon, Plant and Undead.
* ''Crossfire'' adventure game has slaying weapons, and when a deity blesses someone's weapon, it usually acquires the slaying property vs. the kind of creatures this deity doesn't like.
