Core Chips selection in inventory, changing Pyra's Guardian's Sword to Cavalry Sword
Core Chips are a type of equipment in 异度神剑 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. They are accessories for Blades that strengthen them by altering their 武器. They can change weapons' stats and appearance.
They are consumable items. Once equipped, they are fused with the 武器 and cannot be unequipped or sold. When applying a new Core Chip, the one currently equipped to the 武器 is discarded, transforming the 武器 in the process.
They can be purchased in Blacksmithing shops found around Alrest. They are also dropped by some 敌人, found in 秘宝 Troves, and earned after completing certain Quests and Merc 任务. Some can also be obtained as rewards for beating Challenges in the Land of Challenge.
New Game Plus exclusive 武器 types are incompatible with Core Chips, and thus cannot be modified.

Stats and Effects
The Core Chip that is applied to a Blade 武器 determines the combat stats of the Blade that wields it. While 物理 and 以太 Defense are unique to each Blade, the base Auto-Attack, Critical Rate and Block Rate stats are completely based on the equipped chip and 武器 type. Each 武器 created from the combination of a Core Chip and a Blade 武器 of a certain type has its own unique name, appearance and stats, which are shared between all the Blades that can use them.
Certain Core Chips can also grant special passive effects to any 武器 they are slotted into, with these effects varying between 武器 types. They are usually only active when the Blade is used in battle, however certain ones like stat or reward increasing effects will still remain active even when the equipped Blade is not used in battle.

Trivia
- Given the variety of possible combinations between Core Chips and different 武器 types, there are a total of 1,306 distinct 武器 that can be forged in the game, each with their own unique stats and names.
- Certain combinations are impossible to create normally due to the limited pool of available chips in TTGC and some 武器 not having the Lead Chip as a default Core Chip. Despite this all possible combinations exist in the game data, leading to a total of 54 unobtainable 武器.
- Core Chips will change a weapon's appearance from its default appearance, but there are some chips that will restore the original appearance of a Blade's weapon:
- Silver Chips, Bronze Chips, and Tin Chips will give Legendary Blade 武器 (except Aegaeon's 武器) their original appearance.
- Tachyon Chips will give Rare Blade 武器 (and Aegaeon's 武器) their original appearance, except for Roc, Dromarch, Pandoria and Nia.
- The Aegis Sword, Variable Saber, Poppibuster's 盾 Hammer, T-elos's Greataxe, Monado, Knives, 双剑, Crosier, Nodachi, and Gunknives will not change their appearance, no matter what Core Chip is equipped.
- In TTGC, Brighid's Whipswords and Aegaeon's Chroma Katana will not change in appearance, no matter what Core Chip is equipped.
