Swords are [[Melee Weapons|melee weapons]] with comparatively low [[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]] penalty and consistent damage. However, they are not as effective against armor as some other weapons. Due to the additional accuracy of the [[Slash_(10_fatigue)|Slash]] attack, a sword can be a mercenary's best friend.

Brothers with high Melee Defense can use the [[Riposte_(25_fatigue)|Riposte]] ability to counter every miss, though with a less accurate slash attack. This works well with perks like [[File:Perk_05.png|25px|bottom]] [[Shield Expert]] and [[File:Perk_61.png|25px|bottom]] [[Lone_Wolf_(Perk)|Lone Wolf]].

[[File:Perk_46.png|25px|bottom]] [[Sword Mastery]] perk gives these bonuses:
* [[Riposte (25 fatigue)|Riposte]] skill no longer has penalty to hit chance.
* [[Gash (20 fatigue)|Gash]] skill threshold to inflict [[Injuries|injuries]] is lowered to <span style="color:green">50%</span>.
* Swords skills require <span class="" style="color:green">25%</span> less [[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]].

==='''Two-Handed Swords'''===
</onlyinclude>

Two-Handed Swords are some of the most powerful weapons in the game in terms of raw damage. However, their AoE attacks consume a lot of [[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]] and cost more AP than one-handed weapons.

If you take [[File:Perk_46.png|25px|bottom]] [[Sword Mastery]] perk, [[Split_(30_fatigue)|Split]] and [[Swing_(30_fatigue)|Swing]] will gain a <span style="color:green">+5%</span> chance to hit, and all weapon skills will require <span class="" style="color:green">25%</span> less[[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]].
