Standard Equipment

*Soul Edge: An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter—which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. In the hands of Inferno, the avatar of the Soul Edge itself, the blade is capable of taking any form that it wishes. Inferno usually changes the form it uses between each round of combat.

*Soul Edge (Phantom): A mirage of the original Soul Edge, created through Nightmare's own memories of the original sword. While it retains the Soul Edge's ability to devour souls, it is still a much less potent version of the actual blade. It is created in the same manor at which Inferno creates his mimics of other character's weapons.

*Soul Edge: An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape shifter—which form it takes depends on its owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It is an evil weapon which saps the strength of the enemy it wounds and rends the soul of the one who holds it.

Optional Equipment

*Steel Paddle: A giant iron paddle. It has no blade and thus has no cutting ability, but it can cause plenty of destruction with its size and weight alone. As one would expect, it is very useful for defense as well.

• Soul Edge (Larvae): The smallest and weakest looking version of Soul Edge. It is simply an all black sword with blood red stripes that has only a passing resemblance to the original sword.

• Soul Edge (Cocoon): This is the form Soul Edge took when first wielded by Siegfried, the very first time he ever picked up the blade after defeating the possessed corpse of Cervantes. In this form, Soul Edge has a severe lack of power, as it has yet to break out of its shell and become the Soul Edge that Nightmare is more well-known for wielding.
