What does each Infernal Arm do in Hades?

Pick your favorite weapon!

While playing through Hades, you will notice different weapons in the Arsenal Room that you will eventually be able to take advantage of. When you first start, you will have access to the Stygian Blade but by using Chthonic Keys you can purchase a total of five other Infernal Arms each with its own abilities and specials.
