'''Sword''' is a melee [[Phighters|Phighter]] that plays as a jack-of-all-trades in his category. He boasts decent mobility, high melee damage and decent bulk. He performs well in close quarters, but has limited options at ranged combat. Even with this, Sword can still maneuver well with his abilities and can even perform crowd control with his Phinisher. |
