KnightFight - One-Handed Weapons



A one-handed weapon leaves the other hand free for a shield. That is the entire point of the build. Base damage sits lower than the equivalent two-handers, but the shield lets you cut incoming damage instead of trying to out-damage the opponent.

Skill Requirements

Every weapon in this category is locked behind the one-handed weapon skill. The skill is bought with skill points and sits completely separate from the five main attributes. Early weapons only need a handful of points. The top-end ones demand several hundred. Because of that, the skill column is not just a requirement list. It is the actual progression path for anyone running a shield build.

How to obtain?

The merchant stocks the majority of one-handed weapons. A smaller set only appears at the bazaar. Bazaar stock is random for each player and refreshes once every 24 hours, so those entries are flagged in the table. A few of the strongest options skip gold entirely and cost gems instead.

Penalties

Look at the negative stats before you buy. Heavier one-handers frequently cut stamina and sometimes dexterity. Stamina controls how many rounds you can stay in a fight. A weapon that hits harder but leaves you exhausted after a few exchanges often loses more gold than a slightly weaker blade that lets you finish the fight on your own terms. The best weapon in any skill bracket is rarely the one with the highest damage number.


KnightFight Calculator


Four things the game works out behind the screen, on the same arithmetic it uses itself: what a weapon hits for in your hands, what your armour turns aside, what the next point of a skill costs at the merchant, and what the next level asks of you. Name an item and its numbers drop in, or drag a slider, or type a value straight into the box beside it.
