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

== Acquisition ==
Persona plasmaswords cannot be crafted. They can instead be [[Trade|purchased]] from combat suppliers, war merchants, or at [[Empire]] settlements, obtained as a [[quest]] reward, or found on Empire [[Empire#stellic warden|stellic warden]]s and [[Empire#Yeoman|nobles]] of Yeoman rank or above.

== Summary ==
{{stub|section=1}}
===Persona weaponry===
{{main|Persona weapon}}
The persona monosword is the persona weapon variant of the monosword. Persona weapons form a psychic bond with the first wielder that equips them. This grants or inflicts certain traits with a variety of effects listed below. This bond is also usually both exclusive of other persona weapons and permanent, lasting until either the wielder dies, at which point another pawn may bond with the weapon, or until the weapon is destroyed, at which point the wielder may bond with another persona weapon. The exception is weapons with the Freewielder trait, which form no permanent bond and do not prevent the use of other persona weapons. Additionally, the bond is broken at the moment of death rather than the state of being dead. The bond remains broken if the wielder is [[Resurrector mech serum|resurrected]], though they can relink with the weapon if no-one else has. 

When bonded, persona weapons have no value, both for [[trade]] and for the purposes of [[raid points]]. 

Persona weapons also improve the combat capabilities of the weapons compared to the baseline versions. 

Finally, each persona weapon is given a randomly generated custom name.
===Flame damage===
Persona 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 70% 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 ==
Compared to their base variants, persona plasmaswords boast a significantly higher [[Damage per Second|DPS]] and can only be used by a single pawn unless they have the Freewielder trait. 
Persona plasmaswords have randomized names akin to Legendary items from Dwarf Fortress.

As with the base [[Plasmasword]], it can set enemies on fire, this makes a powerful weapon against non-mechanoid enemies in the game. 1v1 fights generally tilt in favor of the plasmasword wielder since setting enemies on fire can prevent them from fighting back.
