Weapon is an attack type in the Super Smash Bros. series that encompasses hits with a variety of melee and ranged weapons, including swords, bows, whips, umbrellas, etc.

Weapon attacks are boosted by Weapon Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary. The Weapon supertype is subdivided into several subtypes: Sword, Hammer, Bow, Bat, Umbrella, Whip, Gun, and Weapon (Other).

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the weapon supertype does not exist, instead being replaced by two supertypes: Melee Weapon and Shooting Weapon. Melee Weapon includes Sword, Whip, etc. while Shooting Weapon includes Bow and Gun. Melee Weapon is boosted by the Support Spirit skills Weapon Attack ↑ and Weapon Attack & Move Speed ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions; and is resisted by the Support Spirit skill Weapon Resist ↑. Shooting Weapon is boosted by Shooting Attack ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions. Additionally, the Primary Spirit trait Sword Attack ↑ boosts Sword-type attacks, Sword being a subtype of Melee Weapon.
