Different weapon categories have their own swing animations, speed, and reach.

Swords

Fast, balanced horizontal sweeps. Swords are the all-rounder - quick enough to attack often and wide enough to catch several enemies in front of you. Great for clearing groups of light mobs.

Axes & Heavy Weapons

Slower but wide and hard-hitting chops. Heavier weapons trade attack speed for a bigger hit zone and more damage per swing, ideal for smashing through tougher or tightly-packed enemies.

Daggers & Short Blades

Quick, short-range stabs. Daggers attack rapidly but cover a small area, rewarding players who like a fast, aggressive, up-close style.

Spears & Long Weapons

Long-reach thrusts that let you hit enemies from farther away, striking before they can close the distance. Good for keeping dangerous mobs at arm's length.

The exact feel of each weapon comes from its type, so experiment to find the swing style that suits how you like to fight.
