What Are Swords?

Fighter-Specific Weapon

Dragon
Swords are only available on characters with the Fighter Vocation, meaning you won't be able to equip it on other characters with different vocations. You can use swords with a Shield to have a fully balanced loadout.

Can Be Equipped on Pawns

Pawns with the Fighter Vocations can equip swords in the game. You can give them a better one to increase their offensive capabilities in a battle!

Pawns System Explained

Offensive-Based Weapons

Swords are offensive weapons that provide more Strength and Slash Strength for a Fighter. In exchange, it gives less Knockdown Power compared to shields and doesn't give any Strike Strength as it is a sharp weapon.
