Items

Shiren does not have any innate abilities, he can move, attack, and use items. Other than equipment, all items have limited usage - Shiren is a game about managing your items!

Equipment

Straightforward: Swords increase Attack. Shields increase Defense. Bracers give a passive effect. Arrows can be fired with the L button or from the menu. You can only have one of each equipped.
