Rapier

The rapier is a one-handed weapon built around precise, fast thrusts rather than sweeping cuts. It is a natural fit for players who want to punish small openings and who are confident with timed parries.

Role

Rapier damage per hit is lower than a sword or an axe, but its attacks come out quickly and its thrusts reach well. That makes it a strong pick against enemies whose attack patterns leave only short windows.

Shield Pairing

Like other one-handed weapons, the rapier can be paired with a shield for defensive play.
