Definition[]

Sword (N) - A melee weapon consisting of a long single or two-sided blade with a handle, which can be held in one or both hands.

Types of Swords[]

There are three varieties of sword, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Broadsword D Cutlass D Sabre D
Broadsword Cutlass Sabre

Sabre[]

Engraved Sabre 2010-11-25

The Sabre is a very straight, narrow single-edge shorter sword. They are primarily fencing weapons, focusing on puncturing attacks. Light and fast, the Sabre is easy to use, but hard to master. The sabre allows quick, short hits to take down an enemy, but it requires more hits due to less damage being done.

Note: Each combo move must be learned in sequence.

Sabre Combo[]

Icon Name Description Skill Req.
Cutlass hack High Cut A quick opening attack. Level 1
Cutlass slash Low Slash A stylish downward swing. Level 1
Cutlass cleave Rapid Strike Numerous vicious stabs. Level 4
Cutlass flourish Slice & Dice A spin, followed by several cuts. Level 10
Cutlass stab Cyclone Cut A fancy finishing stab. Level 17


Cutlass[]

Battle Cutlass

The cutlass is a heavier sword with a thick, curved blade. They were preferred aboard ships since they wouldn't get caught in the rigging as easily, but could still deliver a strong, hacking blow. The cutlass is the first weapon the pirate receives from Will Turner in the form of a Rusty Cutlass. The cutlass was originally the only blade technique before the new weapon types were added.

Note: Each combo move must be learned in sequence.

Cutlass Combo[]

Icon Name Description Skill Req.
Cutlass hack Hack A quick opening attack. Level 1
Cutlass slash Slash A broad back-slash. Level 1
Cutlass cleave Cleave A mighty overhead strike. Level 4
Cutlass flourish Flourish Three upward slashes. Level 10
Cutlass stab Thrust A fancy finishing stab. Level 17

Broadsword[]

Heavy Broadsword

The broadsword is a larger, longer and double-edged weapon. Its heavier blade makes it harder to swing and slower to use. However, whatever the loss in speed, it certainly makes up for in its effective and lethal blows.

Talented swordsmen can strike several enemies at once with one. The slower swings means the pirate may find completing a combo more difficult, but they can unleash terrible damage. The most skilled of broadsword users can take down a large group of enemies in several masterful blows.

Note: Each combo move must be learned in sequence.

Broadsword Combo[]

Icon Name Description Skill Req.
Cutlass hack Chop A quick opening attack. Level 1
Cutlass slash Roundhouse A broad circular swing. Level 1
Cutlass cleave Spin Cut A mighty whip-around strike Level 4
Cutlass flourish Reverse Spin Cut Spin Cut in the other direction. Level 10
Cutlass stab Jumping Slash A strong, swing in mid-air Level 17

Cursed Blades[]

Plaguefire Blade

Cursed Blades are a special category of swords, and the variation encompasses all three classes. They use their base weapon's combo attacks, but each has a special ability like Cursed Thunder, Cursed Fire, Dark Curse, etc.

Cursed Blades are unique in that they cannot be purchased at ANY blacksmith shop. You can ONLY access them after killing El Patron and taking one of his cursed blades.

Once the Raven's Cove Story Quest is complete, you can find more. Even then, they can only be found after killing ghosts or a member of Davy Jones' Crew in Isla Tormenta. These weapons are fairly rare.

Using a Cursed Blade has been thought to cause a curse, The Evil Curse of Doom! Pirates using such weapons often check their hand (/hand to preform the emote) to be sure they have not become cursed themselves.

Cursed blades are also unique in that they have a black trail following their blade (the only regular sword to have this is the Black Shark family). Two of the legendary cursed blades, the Emerald Curse and the Blade of the Abyss, have a green (Emerald Curse) and red (Blade of the Abyss) trail.

Sword Skills[]

Combo Skills[]

Sword combo skills are progressive attacks that require a regular timing to execute. Each move has to be timed to move to the next. Perfect timing will also do more damage. Each following move does more damage than the last. With a little practice, the pirate can master combinations.

Combos encourage a pirate to not simply swing their weapons wildly at enemies in a panic.

Attack Skills[]

Icon Name Description Skill Req.
Cutlass sweep Sweep A wide circular slash that hits all nearby enemies. Level 2
Cutlass brawl Brawl Fight dirty by head-butting an enemy! Stuns for a short time. Level 8
Cutlass taunt Taunt Pulls enemy aggression and decreases enemy accuracy. Level 14
Cutlass bladestorm Blade Storm A barrage of quick slashes. Level 20

Passive Skills[]

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

Cutlass parry Parry Chance to deflect enemy attacks. Level 6
Grenade toughness Endurance Increase maximum health by 4% for each rank. Level 12

Special Weapon Skills[]

Many of the common, rare, famed, and legendary swords found can give the pirate special abilities. This includes:
