Sword

The Sword is a standard melee weapon at B tier — a classic sword used by heroes and survivors since the dawn of the Overworld. It deals 22 damage per hit in a plain 3-swing, 3-hit combo, totaling 52 with 40 stagger.

Everything about it is balanced: 3.9-block reach, medium weight, 800 knockback and a 1.15s combo reset in the Fighter archetype. No tricks, no quirks — just a reliable blade that does exactly what you expect from the most iconic weapon shape in the game.

It drops in Brave Haven, Honeycomb Fields and Singer's Meadow. Community testing put it around 306 DPS with basic attacks and Lightning Surge — a respectable middle-of-the-pack number, though it comes from single-target dummy testing and says nothing about crowd handling.

Its real endgame value is as the base for two unique rolls: The Burning Blade and The Darkshard, both of which any Sword (or Greatsword) drop can become. If you like the Sword's feel, keep farming it — every drop is a shot at one of its uniques.

The quick 1.15s reset and medium weight make it one of the most forgiving blades to learn the game on. New players can pick it up in Brave Haven early and ride it comfortably until their first unique drops.
