Plasmasword

For the persona variant of this weapon, see Persona plasmasword.

The Plasmasword is a 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.

Acquisition

Plasmaswords cannot be crafted. They can instead be purchased from combat suppliers, war merchants, or at Empire settlements, obtained as a quest reward, or found on Empire champions and nobles of Yeoman rank or above.

Summary

Plasmaswords perform largely the same as any other melee weapon, with one primary difference. When performing the Cut and Stab attacks, a successful strike has a 50% chance to do an extra 10 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

As the Plasmasword can set enemies on fire, it 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.
