− | The '''knife''' is a primitive | + | </onlyinclude> |
+ | |||
+ | The '''knife''' is a primitive melee weapon, it that does a low amount of damage, has a short cooldown, and deals sharp damage. As is typical with any sharp weapon, knife attacks cause bleeding, and generally fares poorly against armor when compared to blunt weapons. Due to its low cooldown, knives are skill-friendly weapons; even if a pawn equipped with a knife misses their attack, another attack will follow not long after. | ||

− | Knives are | + | {{stub}} |
+ | Knives are lower-tier melee weapons with a slightly below average damage output, but knives are also cheap to produce. That being said, the [[gladius]] offers significantly better performance for little more in the way of resource costs, so you're better off making gladii than knives unless you're somehow in an exceptional circumstance where you urgently need melee weapons and can't obtain any more resources. [[Plasteel]] knives are somewhat better as melee weapons, handily out-DPSing a [[steel]] [[longsword]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Against armor, a steel knife actually performs slightly better than its gladius counterpart, probably owing to the shorter cooldown. That being said, a [[Materials#Stone Blocks|stone]] [[club]] still performs considerably better. When talking about plasteel, the knife continues to outperform its gladius equivalent, but the steel [[club]] is still better here. | ||
