Staves (Inquisition)

For staves in other Dragon Age titles, see Staves (Origins) and Staves (Dragon Age II).

This page lists Staves, mage weapons in Dragon Age: Inquisition. All staves deal either electricity, fire, or cold elemental damage. Staves are generally the only weapons to add elemental damage without the addition of a rune. The only exceptions include: the unique staff Blade of Tidarion which functions as a greatsword for any mage character; the unique swords Brand, Bolt, and Rime; and the unique bow Andruil's Gift. There are no nature, physical, or spirit damage staves available in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

In addition to normal attacks, every sixth consecutive attack fires three projectiles instead of one (each dealing normal staff damage) while simultaneously applying a shock, burn, or chill effect depending on the elemental staff type. Like staves in Dragon Age II and unlike staves in Origins, all staves in Inquisition can miss or score a critical hit.
