The '''monosword''' is a DLC [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] that does a large amount of [[damage]], has a fairly short cooldown, and deals sharp damage. It also boasts one of the highest armor penetration values for melee weapons in the game.

It has a great advantage against armored targets and cause opponents to bleed out fairly quickly as the Monosword lops off limbs with fair ease.

== Acquisition ==
Monoswords cannot be crafted, instead they can only be [[trade|purchased]] from [[Outlander]] and [[Empire]] combat suppliers and [[faction base]]s, or received as a quest reward.

They can also be obtained from the following raider types:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Raider Kind !! Chance !! Average Quality !! Health
|-
| [[Empire#Champion|Champion]] || ?% || ? || 70-230%
|-
| [[Empire#Yeoman|Nobles]] (All) || ?% || Excellent || 100%
|}

== Analysis ==
Unlike the two other Ultra-level weapons, the [[plasmasword]] and the [[zeushammer]], the monosword inflicts no status effect, instead it has its disproportionately large armor piercing value. With this exceptional AP and a high [[Damage per Second]], it is one of the best and most versatile melee weapons in the game, performing well against all targets while its brethren excel in specific roles. 

Keep in mind however that while it does have exceptional AP, armor pieces tend to be more protective against sharp than blunt. Thus, against high tier armors that aren't negated by the either weapon's AP, the monosword is more [[Apparel#Protection|affected]] by armor than the zeushammer of the same quality. For example, a normal [[quality]] zeushammer would have a higher effective DPS against a normal quality set of [[Cataphract armor]] than a normal quality monosword. When the monosword AP is sufficient to outright negate the armor, such as against a poor [[flak vest]], then the superior optimal DPS of the monosword would win out.
