 The Hikael sports a pair of missile launchers, one mounted in each hip. The missiles use a small aetheric generator (simply referred to as 'the generator' by Elysians) to create rather massive destruction with a comparatively small charge. Each missile measures a mere 28cm end to end. Each charge contains basic computer systems, allowing them to correct their course and track an intended target within the limits of their range. Additionally, they contain a small shield modulation device, improving their ability to penetrate shielded targets. The Hikael sports a pair of missile launchers, one mounted in each hip.

 Looking on the success of similar weapons used by Yamataian power armours, the Hikael was designed with short-ranged aetheric ('generator') projection weapons combined with a phasing system similar to that used in the plasma rifle. It fires in bursts of several pulses, similar to a machine gun, the energy being phased out of existence briefly to allow it to penetrate shields and armour with greater effect. Looking on the success of similar weapons used by Yamataian power armours, the Hikael was designed with short-ranged aetheric ('generator') projection weapons combined with a phasing system similar to that used in the plasma rifle.

 This weapon is positioned on the wing-sheathes of the Hikael, and fires a stream of high-powered, high-frequency, low-wavelength electromagnetic pulse, using X-ray and gamma-ray bands. This is, in essence, a lower-powered version of the same weapon used on the Anthedon; this is used primarily as a countermeasure to missiles and torpedoes. It is highly effective against shields (allowing it to remove even shielded missiles), and the penetrative nature of high-energy photons make it effective at passing through armour - meaning it can, technically, be used effectively as an anti-personnel device as well. This weapon is positioned on the wing-sheathes of the Hikael, and fires a stream of high-powered, high-frequency, low-wavelength electromagnetic pulse, using X-ray and gamma-ray bands.

 The Hikael sports four of these - one at each elbow and one at each knee. They can be extended from the armor when needed, up to a length of 90cm. Mostly used as a last-resort weapon, these monomolecular blades are constructed of ADNR, making them both extremely hard, and highly efficient against unshielded opponents. Ultrasonic vibrations make it much more fantastic at slicing apart armour. The Hikael sports four of these - one at each elbow and one at each knee.
