Sword

Added the full Sword magicite list with per-rarity effects and equip costs
The Sword is Elliot's most reliable all-around weapon, combining fast attack speed with a sweeping arc that can hit multiple foes at once. Its charged special releases a projectile, giving it unexpected ranged capability for a melee tool.
In the Prologue Demo, Elliot's starting sword is the Longsword (attack 8), a typical iron sword he carries from the very beginning alongside the Buckler shield.
Basic sword strikes come out quickly and cover a wide arc in front of Elliot, making them effective against grouped enemies. The broad swing helps clear out tight dungeon corridors without needing precise positioning. Because of its speed, the sword pairs well with the shield block mechanic, letting players poke between defensive stances more freely than slower weapons allow.
Holding the attack button charges the sword and releases a projectile along a straight line. This gives the sword reach beyond its normal melee range, useful for hitting enemies at a distance or following up after pushing a foe back. In the demo, this made the sword competitive even against enemies that preferred to keep space.
The sword's combination of speed and the ranged special makes it a strong choice for most encounters. It is well suited for players learning the game's timing, and it holds up in boss fights where weapon variety is rewarded. Because it handles both close and moderate ranges, it meshes naturally with most secondary weapon choices.
Magicite for the Sword covers shared pieces (Attack Up, Critical Rate Up, Charge Time Down, Critical Damage Up) as well as the weapon-specific pieces below. Higher rarities are stronger and usually cost less to equip. The table lists every piece available for the Sword, with its effect at one star, its effect at five stars where it scales, and its equip cost. See Magicite for how pieces are formed and the Magicite Box for equip-cost limits.
