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]].

{{Persona Weapon Summary}}
 
 
 
=== 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 based on the target's [[flammability]]. For most non-[[mechanoid]] enemies, this chance is 100% assuming the attack successfully deals Flame damage.

{{Stub|section=1|reason= Any useful strats for exploiting the flame damage?}}
+
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 are a strict upgrade to the base [[plasmasword]], with a higher damage, decreased attack cooldown, and a 70% to ignite pawns on a blade hit (from 50%). Against enemies immune to fire, such as [[mechanoid]]s, the persona plasmasword is slightly better than a [[plasteel]] [[longsword]]. The longsword is significantly easier to farm, however.
+
Persona plasmaswords have randomized names akin to Legendary items from Dwarf Fortress.
 
 
After considering Flame damage, a normal persona plasmasword even beats a normal [[persona monosword]] in pure {{DPS}}. But for most practical scenarios, the existence of fire-immune targets, the lack of {{AP}} on the flame attack, and the lower AP overall means that the monosword edges out. Additionally, as flame damage is unaffected by [[quality]], the monosword is superior at high qualities even against flammable targets.
 
  
Enemies on fire will run around wildly and are unable to fight back. This makes either plasmasword dominant in a 1v1 fight against flammable targets, 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]], go behind your colonists, and ruin your formation. The plasmasword also loses its advantage if an enemy deploys a [[firefoam pop pack]].
+
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.
  
Overall, a strong weapon in its niche - a weapon good against organic targets when not relying on a chokepoint. The other persona weapons are better for general use, especially due to how common mechanoid raids are.
