Good to know
- Sword type changes how fast Coen attacks.
- Weight is what makes a short sword quick compared with a great sword.
- Legendary weapons come in short sword form too.
Bug fix
Update 1.1 made short swords hit the Gargoyle more reliably.
What it's good for
Speed. Short swords let you land quick counters after perfect blocks and keep pressure on lighter enemies.
Compared with
They hit less per swing than long or great swords, so heavily armoured foes take longer to bring down.

Axes are weapons Coen can pick up besides swords. Swords are the core of the game's combat, so treat axes as an alternative you find along the way rather than a main weapon class.

Great Swords
Great swords are the largest sword type Coen can use. They trade attack speed for weight and damage, which suits players who block and punish rather than chain fast combos.

Long Swords
Long swords are one of the sword types Coen can use. They sit between quick short swords and heavy great swords, which makes them a safe all-round choice.
