Thrusting Swords

Dedicated fencer’s weapons, Thrusting Swords focus on rapid piercing strikes. Almost a dagger in sword form, these are fast, lightweight weapons. They mix skills from Daggers and Straight Swords, giving you access to Stance and Shield Splitter both, granting an easy way around shielded opponents.

Ricard’s Rapier is notable for having a unique skill that attacks with a very rapid flurry of blows. Enchant it with powders or enchantment spells to deal heavy elemental burst damage.

If you favor Dagger’s speed but want a bit more punch on each hit, try a Thrusting Sword.
