“Expertise with swords, rapiers, and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an opponent's Rage.
Sword is a combat skill that is received very early in the tutorial, after looting the body of a dead elf.
Sword damage is actually quite good, the main hurdle to get over is to find ways to manage the Power Cost of abilities (ed: it may be just bad luck as I haven't seen any power-enhancing Sword augments yet, they are probably there though).
Overview
Sword skills have the following mechanics:
- Means of controlling the enemy's Rage (Parry)
- Damage over time to armor
- High damage/ high power cost "finishing" abilities
- Specialized damage type (eg. Flashing Strike vs Undead creatures)
Abilities
| Ability Name | Description | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Sword Slash | Attack with a sword. | 00 |
| Parry | Defensive maneuver that diminishes enemy's rage and weakens their next attack. | 01 |
| Many Cuts | A flurry of attacks that leave the enemy disoriented and disheveled. | 03 |
| Wind Strike | A flurry of attacks that does extra damage to vulnerable targets, and creates an opening for your next attack to be more successful. | 05 |
| Finishing Blow | A slow, horrific cut across the midsection. | 07 |
| Debilitating Blow | Attack the target's offenses, leaving them less able to deal damage. | 09 |
| Hacking Blade | Cut deep, causing the target to bleed. | 10 |
| Sword Slash 2 | Attack with a sword. | 12 |
| Many Cuts 2 | A flurry of attacks that leave the enemy disoriented and disheveled. | 15 |
| Parry 2 | Defensive maneuver that diminishes enemy's rage and weakens their next attack. | 18 |

Advanced
| Ability Name | Level | Description | Misc. Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riposte | 07 | Defensive maneuver that diminishes enemy's rage. For equipment and combos that require parry, you can use Riposte instead. | Can be found from scrolls. |
| Decapitate | ?? | - | Needs access to inside Hogan's Keep (to be confirmed). Level 1-2 occasionally drops from mobs, scrolls lying around in Goblin Dungeon level 2. |
| Heartpiercer | ?? | - | Needs access to inside Hogan's Keep (to be confirmed) |
| Precision Pierce | ?? | A carefully-aimed attack that does little damage, but bypasses armor entirely. For equipment and combos that require Parry, you can use Precision Pierce instead. | Nelson Ballard teaches this at Comfortable+ |
| Flashing Strike | ?? | A solemn strike that does extra damage to undead. Special: Undead targets take [25/60/100] additional Nature damage. | Nelson Ballard teaches this at Comfortable+ |
