Crea weapons (known in Japan as クレア - Claire weapons, possibly a reference to an NPC from Phantasy Star Online) are a series of mostly melee weapons based on outdated Photon designs.

They can be split into various categories, detailed below:

Crea replicas

Crea replicas are weapons based on designs from the earliest days of Photon technology. These replicas are 7★ and are made by one of the three major weapons manufacturers. There are replicas of Sabers, Twin sabers, Daggers, Twin daggers, and Swords.

Crea replicas are generally less powerful than their normal counterparts, and do not grind well either. In particular they gain no PP when ground. However, they have the advantage of being able to hit one more target than a weapon of the same type would usually be able to. This only applies to normal attacks, however, Photon arts are unchanged.

Only Humans and Newmans can equip Crea replicas, the reason for this is unknown, it may be because they are the two races least suited to handling melee weapons, or to counterbalance the lack of SUV Weapons or Nanoblasts. Some Crea replicas appear similar to weapons from Phantasy Star Online, which would also fit with the descriptions of them being based on early designs.

Crea replicas all drop as boards - the Crea board that can drop depends on the area. Crea boards only drop in missions where the enemy level is 30 or higher.

The following Crea replicas are known to exist in the game:

• Note that the boards for Creasabra and Ryo-Creasabra are incorrectly named [B] Crenata and [B] Ryo-Crenata respectively.

Crea+ weapons

These weapons have been introduced in Ambition of the Illuminus. They are similar in appearance to the 7★ Crea weapons.

All Crea+ weapons have a + after their name and are 11★. They drop as made weapons from enemies of level 150-174 and as boards from enemies of level 175-199 in Ambition of the Illuminus missions. Unlike their 7★ counterparts, Crea+ weapons gain PP while grinding. As with the other Crea replicas, they can only be equipped by Humans and Newmans.

The following Crea+ weapons are known to exist in the game:

Kubara Creas

Four weapons have been released which have Crea in their names, but are Kubara weapons. These weapons are:

• Crea Doubles is a 10★ double saber which can be equipped by all races and does not hit extra targets. The synthesis board can drop from any enemy of level 50 or higher in the Linear Line area or it can be found made from a C-A difficulty clear box in Phantom Ruins.
• Crea Doubles＋ is a 13★ double saber which can be equipped by all races and does not hit extra targets. It can be obtained in Desert Arms Shop.
• (Creawand) is a 9★ wand which can be obtained in a future update of Desert Arms Shop. It can only be equipped by CASTs and Beasts.
• Creawand＋ is an 11★ wand whose synthesis board drops from Olgohmon level 150-174. It can only be equipped by CASTs and Beasts.

Other's

There are also Crea weapons in the game without the "Crea" Part in their name. Though these weapons olso have the crea effect and can be equiped by every race and gender (onless the weapon itself tells otherwise)

Some examples of these "hidden" crea weapons are:

• Flowen's Sword＋
• Go Vahra Claws
• Tiga Ragan
• Vish Diraga
