I am somewhat against this though because it would mitigate the importance of dual wielding somewhat if you can have one weapon that does both types of damage.ĮDIT: Alternately, while a bit more complicated, you could say that piercing and slashing have the same mitigation vs armor, but piercing gains a bonus vs weak points. ![]() If a sword was designed for either or (rare but possible?) It could be that the primary attack is slashing, but an alternate attack does piercing instead. So piercing damage is projectile weapons and certain swords, Armor gains no bonus against those, but against slashing weapons it would have a bonus resistance. Armor would have a bonus resistance to slashing, not piercing. Most swords are designed to do one or the other very effectively. As jackhammers focus their energy onto a smaller area to go through things rather than crush them.Ĭlick to expand.Slashing and Piercing would be 2 different damage types. And some of act more like how a jackhammer works rather and a pile driver. Just as much as how to hold the weapon (and yes, there are pros and cons to using a weapon like a dagger overhanded or underhanded and it is not just for looks).Īlso relayed to this topic is the fact that some mecha use pile drivers in their arms and/or legs to do a lot of damage. Because these factors do change and make a big difference is how effective a blade is for stabbing or slicing. This is why before I use bladed weapons in real life I pay close attention to the shape of the cutting edge and note where center of mass is on the weapon. Remember the when it comes to bladed weapons the shape and center of mass of the blade tells you what is the best way use the weapon. This also way when you see some people with their sword drawn at the ready you might note that keep making circular looping movements with the tip of their sword swaying while they wait for their for their chance to attack or block. The reason I call this types of sword momentum based is because to use them most effectively you have to build up momentum with your movements and so people who train to use this weapons use fighting styles with a lot of looping and circular movements to build up as much speed and momentum as possible within a given space. They are great for having a lot of cutting power but have much less fine control as compared to swords where the center of mass is in the handle. ![]() ![]() As their stingers is designed for fighting other armored enemies like other insects.) The other type of sword designed to fight against armor is a sword that relays heavily on momentum to do damage, this swords have the center of mass as close as possible to tip of the sword rather in the middle or at the handle. (Side note, the reason a bee's stinger gets stuck in human skin is because it is soft. This why a lot of insects and animals use stingers and spear-like body parts to hunt/fight against armored things. A good number of them are designed to be thin and/or needle-like relaying heavily on their shape it fit into the gaps of armor and/or focusing all the power onto a small point to puncture through the armor. Well remember there are also some swords what are designed to be effective against armor too.
