Which Simply Swords Weapon Type Should I Craft?

Match the Weapon to the Fight

Simply Swords weapons differ in reach, attack speed, and area coverage. Pick based on how you fight:

• Longsword / Katana / Cutlass — balanced, good all-rounders for general combat.
• Rapier / Sai — fast, precise, best for single targets and quick strikes.
• Claymore / Greataxe / Greathammer — slow but heavy hits, great against tanky enemies.
• Halberd / Glaive / Spear — extended reach, ideal for keeping mobs at a distance.
• Scythe — wide sweeping attacks for crowd control.
• Chakram / Twinblade / Warglaive — unique movesets, good for players who want something different.

Consider Your Material

Dark Metal, Necromium, and Dragonbone Fire each bring their own tier and traits. A fast Rapier in a high-tier material can out-damage a slow Greataxe in a low-tier one. Match the weapon's speed profile to the material's strengths.

Practical Advice

Craft one light and one heavy weapon so you can swap based on the encounter. Polearms are excellent for boss fights where spacing matters. If you are unsure, start with a Longsword — it is the most forgiving pattern and uses fewer ingots than the heavy options.
