Weapon behavior

Can thrust behind a raised shield and parry from the left hand. Its name does not provide an automatic armor-ignoring effect.

Reinforcement and comparison

Dexterity supplies stronger normal-path physical scaling than Strength. It weighs only 0.5, but its very short blade gives less reach than the longer thrusting swords.

Normal reinforcement reaches +15. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11. Normal, Raw and Crystal versions can use resins and weapon-enchantment spells. Crystal reinforcement prevents ordinary repairs.

Magic and Enchanted add magical damage with Intelligence scaling; Divine and Occult use Faith. Fire and Lightning remove attribute scaling, while Chaos gains damage from held Humanity up to 10. These magical and elemental versions cannot receive temporary weapon coatings.

In-game description

Weapon type: Thrusting Sword
Attack type: Thrust

Standard small thrusting sword.
Unsharpened but pointed solid
shaft can pierce tough armor.

Can be thrust using the weight of one's body,
and is very effective for critical attacks.

Where to find

Corpse pickup

Lower Undead Burg

Requirements

  • Use the Basement Key to reach Lower Undead Burg.
  1. Descend from the locked door at the Taurus Demon end of the Hellkite bridge, then follow the lower street toward Capra Demon.
  2. At the first assassin ambush, defeat the enemies and enter the opened house on the right. Loot the corpse inside for Mail Breaker. The later right-hand room with the Black Leather Set is a different pickup, and Capra Demon does not need to be defeated.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 5 Strength, 12 Dexterity and weighs 0.5.
  • Scaling and load: Dexterity supplies stronger normal-path physical scaling than Strength. It weighs only 0.5, but its very short blade gives less reach than the longer thrusting swords.
  • Criticals: Has a displayed critical rating of 120. That favors its critical role, but the rating is only one part of the damage calculation.
  • Guarded attacks: Can thrust behind a raised shield and parry from the left hand. Its name does not provide an automatic armor-ignoring effect.
  • Reinforcement and weapon buffs: Normal reinforcement reaches +15. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11. Normal, Raw and Crystal versions can use resins and weapon-enchantment spells. Crystal reinforcement prevents ordinary repairs.
  • Other upgrade paths: Magic and Enchanted add magical damage with Intelligence scaling; Divine and Occult use Faith. Fire and Lightning remove attribute scaling, while Chaos gains damage from held Humanity up to 10. These magical and elemental versions cannot receive temporary weapon coatings.
