Piercing Swords

Piercing Swords (also called Thrusting Swords) focus on swift thrust attacks that excel at breaking enemy poise and delivering devastating critical hits. They are highly effective against heavy armor, thanks to their pinpoint strikes and hidden critical bonus damage. Their linear attack patterns enable precise counterattacks but can be predictable and easily dodged. While not ideal in wide-open duels where opponents can evade the narrow hitbox, their parrying capability and synergy with ripostes make them dangerous in skilled hands. Piercing Swords reward players who time their attacks to interrupt or exploit enemy openings.
