'''Sword''' is a melee [[Phighters|Phighter]] that plays as a jack |
'''Sword''' is a melee [[Phighters|Phighter]] that plays as a 'jack of all trades' in his class. He boasts decent mobility, high melee damage and decent bulk. He performs best in close quarters, constantly pressuring the enemy with {{Abilitylink|SwordPrimary}} and {{Abilitylink|SwordE}}. However, he is limited in ranged combat, relying only on {{Abilitylink|SwordSecondary}} to chip away at enemies from afar. His passive, {{Abilitylink|SwordPassive}}, enables him to use an empowered version of an ability for high bursts of damage, with the potential for many combos with his other abilities. {{PAGENAME}} can even perform large crowd control and area denial through his Phinisher, {{Abilitylink|SwordPhinisher}}. |

Sword requires an in-your-face, close-quarters approach to combat. His kit supports this: {{Abilitylink|SwordPassive}} grants extra survivability, while {{Abilitylink|SwordQ}} and {{Abilitylink|SwordE}} act as vertical and horizontal movement and damage tools respectively. {{Abilitylink|SwordPrimary}} does consistently high damage and {{Abilitylink|SwordSecondary}} can be used to finish off or chip away at enemies from a distance. His Phinisher, {{Abilitylink|SwordPhinisher}}, is extremely spammable and recharges quickly, while also dealing significant damage. His consistency and simplicity make him a prime choice for beginners to learn the game mechanics. |
|||
A Sword player's greatest virtue is flexibility and versatility. While at first he may seem limited due to his lack of ranged options, Sword is an incredibly splashable character on any given team, and provides value simply by existing. He has no poor match-ups; he can easily trounce an unaided [[Katana|Katana]] in a one-on-one, bully [[Hyperlaser|Hyperlaser]] with his fantastic mobility, make quick work of [[Boombox|Boombox]] with his superior damage output, and in all other cases he can usually come out on top. However, Sword suffers from one major flaw: longevity. Without the healing support of a [[Medkit|Medkit]], he is easily whittled down. Thus, it is recommended that you have a Medkit on your team for consistent healing. |
|||
Due to his fantastic mobility, Sword has a fairly easy time picking his fights, and due to his superiority in 1v1's, he is a good choice for a flanker. While he provides a significant amount of pressure on your frontline, he can also quite easily pick off an unattended Hyperlaser or Medkit and quickly get back to the front. It is recommended that you switch between flanking and frontlining as needed. |
|||
Your primary targets should be Medkit, Hyperlaser, and other Support classes. Otherwise, pick the nearest enemy and start slashing. |

* {{Abilitylink|SwordPassive}} |
|||
** Any tips for {{Abilitylink|SwordPrimary}} applies to {{Abilitylink|SwordPassive}}. |
|||
* {{Abilitylink|SwordPrimary}} |
|||
** Slash's endlag is 0.1 seconds. Take advantage of the short endlag by using Sword's other basic abilities after the second slash lands to maximize damage output. |
|||
*** Using an ability after the first swing will interrupt the 2-hit combo and slow your damage output. |
|||
* {{Abilitylink|SwordSecondary}} |
|||
** Use {{Abilitylink|SwordSecondary}} to finish off enemies outside of your range or to chip away at their health. |
|||
* {{Abilitylink|SwordQ}} |
|||
** Using Dolphin Slash during Lunge allows the player to carry the dash's momentum forward. Use this for quick mobility or to close the gap against enemy players. |
|||
*** The later you use Dolphin Slash, the more distance you cover. Using it early in the lunge can allow you to apply Lunge's damage and grab to an enemy within the first 50 studs. |
|||
** Dolphin Slash's low cooldown makes it excellent for getting onto high ground or avoiding damage. |
|||
* {{Abilitylink|SwordE}} |
|||
** Lunge serves as Sword's primary tool for comboing players. The stun allows Sword to weave in his Primary twice before it wears off. |
|||
** Jumping before using Lunge can extend the lunge distance from 50 to 70 studs. |
|||
** Jumping after using Lunge can extend the total distance from 50 to 80 studs, though the lunge will only hit players within the first 50 studs. |
|||
** Lunge is a strong displacement option. Sword can utilize the displacement to isolate valuable Phighters away from their team, or keep enemy Phighters away from his own teammates. |
|||
* {{Abilitylink|SwordPhinisher}} |
|||
** Sword's Phinisher is very telegraphed and can be easily avoided if the player does not land the stick or aims poorly. |
|||
*** Using the Phinisher out of sight or at an off-angle can take enemies by surprise. |
|||
*** All-Mighty Axle Arc can be comboed with abillities that apply stuns, roots or slows to maximize the odds of a hit. |
|||
** The player can use Primary to throw the sword early. |
|||
** Casting Dolphin Slash before All-Mighty Axle Arc allows Sword to use the Phinisher without risking damage from most melee Phighters. It also gives the player a high ground to throw their sword at longer distances. |
|||
** All-Mighty Axle Arc has the lowest Phinisher cost in the game at 75, allowing Sword to be able to use it frequently throughout a match. |

Sword is a melee Phighter. He was released on 19 February 2022 with Playtest 1.
Overview
Sword is a melee Phighter that plays as a 'jack of all trades' in his class. He boasts decent mobility, high melee damage and decent bulk. He performs best in close quarters, constantly pressuring the enemy with Slash and Lunge. However, he is limited in ranged combat, relying only on Blade Beam to chip away at enemies from afar. His passive, Spirit of the Sword, enables him to use an empowered version of an ability for high bursts of damage, with the potential for many combos with his other abilities. Sword can even perform large crowd control and area denial through his Phinisher, All-Mighty Axle Arc.
