The Mua were traditional enemies of the Badu people and their allies, the Mabuiag people of the Bellevue island of Mabuiag.
In addition to the standard wap, they armed themselves for warfare with a kalak (spear) and kubai (spear-thrower), a dagal (a two or three-pronged javelin), and malpalau nai (small club), a greased gabagaba, and bows and arrows.
