Category:Cutlass



Definition
The cutlass is one of three sword types and the primary melee weapon that the player uses throughout the game, the others being sabre and broadsword. A Cutlass is identifiable by its the short, heavy curved blade. They were preferred by sailing men since they were better in tight quarters but still could deliver a powerful cut.

In the beginning of the game the player can obtain the rusty cutlass from the blacksmith, Will Turner and also get basic training from him. Better swords must be purchased at a blacksmith, enemy drops or obtained through additional Fortune Quests.

As the pirate's skill with the cutlass improves, he/she can buy or find better and better swords. Later, the pirate will be offered quests to obtain some of the finest weapons in the islands.

Combo Skills
Cutlass combo skills are progressive attacks that require a regular timing to execute. The first attack is always a hack, the second correctly timed attack is a slash, then a cleave, and so on.

Higher level combos do much more damage than lower-level combos.

Passive Skills
These skills are always active once acquired and do not need to be triggered.

Enemies
Officers, Sergeants, Grunts, Undead Bandits, Undead Pirates, Undead Captains, Thrall Captains and Seabeards are known to be skilled with the cutlass, along with Spanish Undead and French Undead.
