Rapier Analysis

Easy To Use Pierce Weapon

This is the starting weapon of the Royalty Class. It is one of the best to get familiar with the Pierce attack type but there are more powerful weapons with Pierce such as the Estoc.

Rapier Recommended Upgrade Path

Rapier Recommended Upgrade

While still weaker compared to Estoc, it is recommended to fully upgrade the regular Rapier to take advantage of its higher power than its other upgrade paths, though the other upgrades have better stat scaling and/or effects.
