Reframed the weapon-set swap confirmation off pre-launch coverage

Added the seven named two-handed weapons from the 0.1.3 files
11Two-handed weapons in Fatekeeper occupy both of the Druid's hands. The trade-off is offense versus flexibility: bigger swings, more reach, more damage, but no off-hand spell or shield. The class is well suited to deliberate combat against tough single targets, especially when paired with a slot-2 ranged weapon for situations where the heavy swing is a liability.2233Members445566WeaponProfileBest ForHammersBlunt force, slow, very high single-hit damageShatter pipeline, armor breaksTwo-handed swordsLong blade, wide arc, balanced speedAll-purpose two-hander, finisher windows77The Two-Set Swap Mechanic88991010The Druid carries two prepared weapons and can hot-swap between them mid-fight. The radial menu added in the July 2026 update makes that explicit: it exposes two weapon slots alongside four spell slots and four belt slots. For a two-handed user this is mandatory rather than optional, because the heavy weapon is too slow against grouped weak enemies, and the swap to a daggers or ranged option lets the player handle that situation cleanly.11111212Smart slot-2 picks for a two-handed main:13131414Daggers.

Build choices that improve stamina recovery or reduce attack cost matter more for two-handed than for any other family.Telegraph windows matter. Slow swings telegraph clearly to enemies, so two-handed players lean on parries and dodges to create the swing window.22222323Open Questions24242525Whether two-handed weapons share the dismemberment chance with one-handed melee or carry a higher rate is unconfirmed.Specific named two-handed weapons (artifact or relic-tier) have not been revealed.26262727Availability28282929Two-handed weapons in the current Early Access build are the large blades and the heavier axes. The biggest of the shipped weapons carry the slow, high-commit profile this page describes.30303131Hammers are named in official material as a blunt category the Shatter mechanic applies to, but no hammer item has shipped yet, so the Shatter-focused two-handed build described below is not yet assemblable exactly as written. Clubs are the blunt weapons available today. See Weapons for the full current roster.32323333Neither polearms nor staves exist in this game, so long reach comes from the largest two-handed weapons rather than from a dedicated reach class, and a caster does not need to give up a weapon slot because spells require no implement.34+35+The Named Two-Handed Roster36+37+Seven named weapons in the 0.1.3 files use both hands: six swords and one club. Reach separates them more than damage does, with most of the swords sitting at 180 and the club and the ice sword pulled in noticeably shorter.38+39+The roster below is compiled from the 0.1.3 game files by the player community. Paraglacial has not published an item list, so treat exact numbers as approximate and expect them to move between patches; the names themselves are stable and several of them appear verbatim in shipped change logs.40+41+WeaponFamilyRarityDamageReachAmber BladeSwordCommonSlash180Blade of the SentinelSwordUncommon30 Slash180Darkguard BladeSwordUncommon20 Slash / Poison180Utakshell FangSwordRare27 Slash180Gargantuan EdgeSwordRare30 Slash / Blunt180Everice BladeSwordEpic45 Ice140Skull ClubClubCommon35 Blunt100
