11Overview33Rapier is a Uncommon rapier-class melee weapon in Windrose. A balanced rapier without excess. Its guard is studded with chips, jagged notches from hundreds of parried blows.55Rapiers are one-handed Pierce weapons that scale with Precision, making them the default melee pick for Precision-oriented builds. They pair naturally with an off-hand Pistol for a Precision dual-threat loadout.77At a Glance99FieldValueWeapon ClassRapiersRarityUncommonDamage205 PierceScalingPrecision (B)ATK (Item Level 15)380ATK (Level 1 crafted)100Stack Size1FlavorWhen fencing becomes a language of its own.1111Crafting1212Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1).

Upgrades naturally into Rapier of a Thousand Cuts for bleed builds or Sturdy Rapier for a Perfect Block oriented duelist.3232Thrust-first patterns punish over-commits more than sweeping slashes. Keep the distance short but not point-blank so light attacks can feed stacks or marks before committing to a heavy.3434Talent Synergies3636Precision-scaling weapons pull from the Precision and Marksman branches of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Pierce damage, Critical Damage, Bleed damage, and Temporal Health conversion. Precision rapier builds also benefit from pistol-synergy talents, since the typical rapier loadout uses a Pistol off-hand.3838See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.4040Comparison Within Class4242Rapier sits alongside 3 other rapiers on the current live index.
