Swords

Swords are the player's basic melee weapon, available to players at the start of the game and progressing through each tier of crafting material, with some unique swords available only as loot at the end game. There are two basic sword types, broadswords and the shortswords, with differing attack characteristics.

Broadswords
Broadswords have high damage values, but are slower than shortswords. Their attack sweeps through an arc from above to the front of the player.

Shortswords
Shortswords have low damage values, but are much faster than broadswords. Shortswords attack with a rapid forward stabbing motion. This makes them excellent at cornering ground enemies, but poor at reaching flying foes.
