There are two bonus tiers in the game: one for low-level types (which appear in blue/white in the game UI) and another for high-level types (yellow). Those that belong to the Yellow tier are usually superior to the other ones. For instance, ''Attack Up +'' is the superior variant of ''Attack Up'' and it typically grants a higher attack power boost compared to ''Attack Up''. | There are two bonus tiers in the game: one for low-level types (which appear in blue/white in the game UI) and another for high-level types (yellow).

Which modifier a weapon receives is random each time Link obtains it. Which modifiers a weapon can possibly have is specific for each in [[ActorParam/GeneralParamList]], and is based on the weapon's type and the modifier tier. Note that certain modifiers can only appear at certain tiers— in particular, this means once a weapon is scaled to yellow modifiers, it can no longer receive the Critical Hit buff. | |||
The odds for each type of modifier is determined by an algorithm in actWeapon which depends on the possible modifiers for a given weapon at a given tier. As such, this algorithm yields the following odds for different types of weapons: | |||

<!--T:398--> | |||
Because of a bug in the game code<ref name="amiiboShield"></ref>, any time the game randomly chooses the "Shield Guard Up" bonus, the actual bonus that gets assigned to the weapon and shows up in the user interface is "Durability Up". For this reason, the extra durability value that is used for shields with the "Durability Up" bonus is either addLifeMax or addGuardMax, depending on which bonus was chosen. | |||
