Falchion

Powerful But Shorter In Range Than Other Weapons

• Strong points:
  • Fast
  • Good for bleeding out opponents
• Weakspots:
  • Low damage
  • Difficult to find a good quality one

The Falchion

is the optimal weapon for fast skirmishes in enclosed spaces, ideal for urban combat, and deadly when combined with the appropriate perks. Since it counts as a one-handed saber, it will benefit from the Cutting Edge Perk, which will aggravate the bleeding effects caused by these types of weapons.

It is also considered a light one-handed blade, and it is quite fast and deadly. Unfortunately, its durability isn’t all too great, and getting a good quality one won’t be possible until the late-game stages. Still, it is a magnificent weapon in the right hands.

7

Ataman’s Sabre

Decent Damage And High Bleed Chance

• Strong points:
  • Good at causing bleeding
  • Good reach
• Weakspots:

The Ataman’s Sabre

is a long curved blade that can cause severe damage to opponents. It is a slow, heavy blade, but when wielded properly, it causes extreme damage to large groups of enemies, making them bleed profusely, since it benefits from the Cutting Edge Perk.

While merchants have many items available in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, there are some items players shouldn’t waste money on.

Finding a good quality one won’t be possible until the endgame, but if players feel comfortable with a little handicap in damage, they will find this Sabre to be a sturdy and reliable companion during most of the encounters in the game.

6

Military Sword

A Balanced Blade, But There Are Better Ones

• Strong points:
  • Good and reliable, especially on higher qualities
• Weakspots:
  • Low durability
  • Less damage/reach than other swords

The Military Sword

is a standard blade that can be found in most Blacksmith shops in the game and is wielded by most of the soldiers and guards found in Trosky. It is a decent weapon, boasting good speed and balance, and it does decent pierce/slash damage, too.

It has a slightly worse overall status than the Knight’s Sword, and less reach, but it is also easier to find and can be crafted early on. Henry’s version of this blade (crafted with the Martin’s Secret Perk) is an absolute beast and one of the best weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

5

Knight’s Sword

A Better One-Handed Blade For The Knight Errant

• Strong points:
• Weakspots:
  • Lower reach than other Longswords

The Knight’s Sword

is the improved version of the Military Sword, and it has better durability and also an improved pierce/slash/blunt damage ratio. On top of that, it can be found in better qualities than the former.

It is also possible to craft one of these blades and take it to Tier 4 if players are good enough with the Blacksmithing mini-game. The better this blade is in quality, the better its properties. It is a strong option for those looking to get good at one-handed dueling.

4

Battle Longsword

A Powerful Two-Handed Blade, Ideal For Duelists

• Strong points:
• Weakspots:
  • Slow
  • Low Durability
  • High Skill Demand

The Battle Longsword

is the Knight’s best friend, especially in times when bandits prowl the forests and plague the roads. This two-handed blade can cut through the highest grades of armor and pierce plate as if it were cardboard.

Players should be sure to tackle the following Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 side quests as soon as possible.

On the downside, mastering the art of Two-Handed sword fighting can be a little bit difficult, as the combos are slower and harder to chain. It is easy to be overwhelmed by enemies using swords and boards, axes, or spears.

3

Broadsword

Powerful Through And Through

• Strong points:
  • Best for Sword and Board Build
• Weakspots:

The Broadsword

is one of the strongest weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and the best part is that it can be found early on while completing the search for Mutt, one of the first main quests in the game (inside the Wolves’ den).

It’s strong, fast, powerful, and the best sword to pair up with the Knight’s Shield. The combination of sword and board is deadly, and with the Broadsword equipped, it becomes even more lethal. This one-handed blade is the best option for purging large bandit groups from the face of Bohemia.

2

Basilard

Fast Deadly, Best One-Handed Blade

• Strong points:
• Weakspots:
  • Short Reach
  • Low Durability

The Basilard

is a Roman short blade and the fastest one-handed weapon in the game. It has a decent slashing/piercing damage ratio and lower blunt damage than most blades, since its pommel is smaller and less heavy.

It benefits from most of the Perks in the Sword tree, and since it is a reliable option for dueling, it is also good when paired with small shields like the Cuman Shield

. It’s great for urban combat missions and wreaking havoc in man-versus-man duels.

Radzig Kobyla’s Longsword

The Most Powerful Blade In The Game

• Strong points:
  • Greatest reach of all swords
  • Most powerful sword in the game
• Weakspots:
  • Can only be obtained during the late-game

With the highest reach, slashing, and piercing damage of all the bladed weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Radzig Kobyla’s Longsword

is the strongest sword Henry will wield during his adventure. Though getting his hands on it will require a long and treacherous journey, once it is in his hands, he will become nearly unstoppable.

This Two-Handed sword is fast, deadly, and comes with an improved version that can be crafted when Craftmanship reaches level 26. Though forging it will require lots of time and effort, it is worth it to have the best sword in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
