The '''Plasmasword''' is a [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that does a decent amount of [[damage]], has a medium cooldown, and deals sharp damage with the bonus of frequently setting the opponent on fire.

The '''Plasmasword''' is a DLC [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] that does a decent amount of [[damage]], has a medium cooldown, and deals sharp damage with the bonus of frequently setting the opponent on fire.
  
== Acquisition ==
+
==Obtaining==
Plasmaswords 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.
+
Plasmaswords can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward, if you have the Royalty DLC active. The Plasma sword has a linked variant whereupon the death of its user, will be unable to be used again.
  
They can also be obtained from the following raider types:
+
==Linked Plasmaswords==
 +
It is also possible to obtain "linked" versions of the plasmasword, These linked variants boast a significantly higher dps and slightly higher AP and can only be used by a single pawn, These linked weapons also have the requirement that the user have a specific Noble [[Titles|Title]] (Knight/Dame) to use it, lest you incur the wrath of the [[Empire]]. The Linked Plasma Swords also have randomized names akin to Legendary items from Dwarf Fortress.
 +
 
 +
== Usage ==
 +
 
 +
As the Plasmasword can set enemies on fire, it makes a powerful weapon against non-mechanoid enemies in the game. 1v1 fights overwhelmingly tilt in favor of the plasmasword wielder since setting enemies on fire can prevent them from fighting back.

== Summary ==
+
==Linked Plasmasword Quality Table==
Plasmaswords perform largely the same as any other melee weapon, with one primary difference. When performing the [[Damage Types#Cut|Cut]] and [[Damage Types#Stab|Stab]] attacks, a successful strike has a 50% chance to do an extra 10 [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage. As with all Flame damage, this damage has no AP and if it successfully damages the target, there is a chance to set them on [[fire]].

== Analysis ==

| Awful || 14.32 || 27%
The plasmasword will often set enemies on fire. Enemies on fire will run around wildly and are unable to fight back. This makes the plasmasword dominant in a 1v1 fight, or in any melee fight out in the open. However, the fire can end up being a major drawback. Enemies on fire will ignore ''collision'', meaning that they will run right past a [[defense tactics#Melee blocking|melee block]], end up behind your colonists, attack from the back, and ruin your formation.

[[Mechanoid]]s are completely immune to fire or heat, so other ultratech weapons or even a [[plasteel]] [[longsword]] are superior in those situations. In addition, outlanders and pirates will often carry [[firefoam pop pack]]s. Firefoam packs will activate when its user is set on fire, immediately extinguishing them.  Any pawn inside the leftover [[firefoam]] is immune to ignition.

If you have the option, buying any of the other ultratech melee weapons tends to be more ''generally'' useful.
