Generally defined as Squire Weapons, these are pure melee weapons (with very few exceptions). All users except the Barbarian can block to reduce frontal damage. If the damage reduction while blocking exceeds 100%, enemy attacks will not heal the defender.
Alongside Monk weapons for melee combat, the size of any given Squire weapon has greater significance than a staff or firearm. Larger ones have a greater cleave range, but slower swing speed. Weapon size has little to no effect on the attack duration of damage-dealing abilities like Circular Slice and Hawk Stance.
Distinct Stats[]
- Knockback Bonus: Determines the weapon's knockback strength. Also applies to Circular Slice and Joust.
- Blocking Damage Resistance: The damage reduction for blocked attacks. Does not heal the defender if it exceeds 100%. This stat is useless to the Barbarian.
Comparison Table[]
Squire weapons fall into one of five general categories, each with different attack speeds, damage per hit and reach. Fast melee weapons like the Backstabber are easier to use while webbed, while those with high base damage are best used with attack abilities for maximum burst damage.
| Weapon Type | Swing Speed | Damage per Hit | Attack Range |
| Swords | Moderate - Fast | Moderate - Low | Normal |
| Hammers | Slow | High | Normal |
| Axes | Moderate | Moderate | Normal |
| Shields | Very Fast | Low | Small |
| Gauntlets | Very Fast | Low | Small |
