Overview
The Balton Longsword is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert designed for straightforward melee combat. With 14 Attack Power, it falls on the lower end of the two-handed weapon spectrum, making it an accessible early-game option rather than a weapon you keep for the long haul. It has no secondary stat bonuses, so what you see is what you get: a functional blade that does its job without any frills.
Longswords occupy a middle ground among two-handed weapons. They are not as slow or heavy as greatswordsbut they still require both hands and deliver the sweeping area attacks characteristic of the two-handed weapon class. The Balton Longsword is a reliable stepping stone for players who want to experiment with two-handed combat before committing refinement resources to a higher-tier weapon.

Combat Tips
The Balton Longsword works best as an introductory two-handed weapon. Its damage is low enough that you will feel the difference against tougher enemiesbut it still gets the job done for clearing groups of weaker opponents. Use its sweeping attacks to hit multiple enemies in a single pass, then dodge away before counterattacks land.
If you plan to stick with longswords long-term, the Balton makes a reasonable practice weapon. Get comfortable with the timing of two-handed swings, learn when you can safely commit to a heavy attack, and upgrade to the Thalwynd Longsword or Rhett's Longsword once you want more damage or secondary bonuses.
With 5 core slotsthe Balton Longsword supports a full complement of customization options. Slotting damage-oriented cores can help compensate for its modest base Attack Power.
