On his first day in The Other Twilight Town, Roxas is given the chance to choose one of three different styles of Struggle Bat prior to his first fight with [[Seifer]], in a manner similar to his and [[Sora]]'s choice between the [[Dream Sword]], [[Dream Shield|Shield]], and [[Dream Rod|Rod]] within their [[Dive to the Heart]]. Rather than determining the path of growth that Roxas will take, choosing a weapon will only grant Roxas an immediate stat boost in one category: choosing the sword grants Roxas +1 to {{STR}}, the hammer +1 to {{DEF}}, and the wand +1 to {{MAG}}. His choice becomes his primary weapon during his time in The Other Twilight Town.

During the Struggle tournament on his fourth day, Roxas always wields a Struggle Sword regardless of his earlier choice, while all of his opponents also wield Struggle Swords.

The Struggle Bats are constructed from a blue, {{w|Nerf|NERF}}-like foam mounted on a golden handle which appears similar to plastic.

The Struggle Sword is meant for dealing fast, powerful strikes. It is simple in design, with a straight golden handle that curves to a 90° angle at the pommel, and a thick blue "blade" extending from the guard, which is similar in width to the blade itself. When striking enemies, the Struggle Sword releases yellow and blue orbs. [[Shadow Roxas]] wields a shadow version of the Struggle Sword, with the orbs released while striking being black to match.

The Struggle Hammer is meant for guarding against attacks. Its "blade" is similar to that of the sword, but the handle is thinner, and there is a wide, moon-shaped hand guard that wraps from the hilt around the hand, similar to a rapier. This bat also has a thick and slightly more ornate pommel. When striking enemies, the Struggle Hammer releases green orbs.

The Struggle Wand is meant for dealing powerful finishing moves and deliberate strikes. It has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that serves as its striking surface. When striking enemies, the Struggle Wand releases faint, light blue stars.

The Struggle Sword's combos in ''358/2 Days'' are designed to facilitate [[Grandstander]]. Its ground combo is an upward swing to the left, then a one-handed upward swing to the right before finishing with a jumping blow. Its aerial combo is two upward swings to the left before finishing with a clockwise spin.
