Sword event is a gameplay mechanic that modifies a match when One Minute Remaining occurs. Sword events cause disruption to players from both teams for the remainder of a match.

Overview

Each map in the voting menu has a 2% chance for it to be a Sword event. Players will not know which map has a Sword event. During Phestivals, a map with a Sword event will have a sword present on the thumbnail alongside a sound cue during map voting.

When One Minute Remaining begins, the weapon of a randomly selected SFOTH character will appear at the center of the map with dialogue, and use their respective ability. These abilities can affect both teams and will continue to do so for the remainder of a match.

Sword event mechanics

When Darkheart appears, he will give all players a random status effect that lasts for X seconds starting at 0:XX. These effects last for X seconds and can vary. Darkheart can give players one of the following effects:

• 50% bound
• 50% jump boost
• 75% vulnerable

When Ice Dagger appears, he will fire a barrage of snowballs at random locations near him. Players hit by Ice Dagger's snowballs take 10 damage and are stunned for 1 second.

When the timer reaches 0:57, Venomshank will summon zombies at each player's location. He will summon new zombies every 15 seconds thereafter. Venomshank's zombies will chase after the closest player, and will do 15 damage over X seconds if a player comes into contact with them. The zombies have multiple properties:

Each zombie has 100 HP.

A zombie can die to killbricks or fall out of bounds if led by a player.

Zombies can receive Status Effects as normal.

Damage sources that generate Phinisher points can generate it from damaging a zombie.
