Swords

With the Skill Fencing learned and a Sword Equipped in your right hand, a pilgrim can use either of the combat moves Thrust or Parry as well as the combat stance En Garde!.

Thrust is a Piercing Attack which does highest damage of all attacks. However, as Thrust has a somewhat long animation it may be best to stun the victim first before combo-ing into a Thrust. Parry is a combat move which will block an incoming attack from the direction you are facing if used just as the attack lands. To use Parry, you must have the combat stance En Garde! active. A successful Parry will stun the opponent, an unsuccessful Parry will stun you. Currently, En Garde!'s only function is to to allow you to Parry. This, coupled with the fact that it is mutually exclusive with Run means that you sacrifice a lot of combat maneuverability to use it.

By selecting a Whetstone from your inventory and right-clicking on a Sword, you can Sharpen it, transferring the Purity from the Whetstone onto the Sword and permanently increasing its damage. This will consume the Whetstone. Purity increases the amount of damage done by the Sabre by up to 10% for 100% Purity.

Artifacts which increase Piercing Defense will reduce the damage you take from a Thrust. Artifacts which increase Piercing Power increase the amount of damage Thrust does.
