The Chakram is the trademark weapon of Xena. Once thrown it has the ability to ricochet off objects and return to the thrower, which requires high dexterity to catch. Despite having a razor-sharp edge capable of slicing flesh and stone alike, it has the ability to inflict purely blunt damage even when striking with the sharp edge, depending on the thrower's skill.

Originally, there were two identical Chakrams, The Chakram of Light and The Dark Chakram. On the front of them was a basic pattern of nine yellow cubes, circling the ring. The back had a more complex pattern, of which gave the impression it was on fire. Inside each flame and cube were round Paua shell pieces embedded into the weapon.

Xena fused the two together, creating a new Chakram. It had a plain silver color on the outer ring and an 'S' shape that ran through the middle with a split. On one side of the split was gold and the other side was copper. This Chakram went on to be known as The Balanced Chakram, as it balanced out the Light and Dark side of the two weapons.

The Balanced Chakram had the ability to split in half and fly as two independent weapons.
