Broadsword
Broadsword

Katana
Katana
Does +1 damage as its sword counterpart with a slightly faster cooldown, when your right click with it you dash 5 blocks forward, and deal 3 hearts of damage that ignore armor to all entities that you pass through

Knuckles
Knuckles
Deal +1 damage as its sword counterpart with a faster cooldown, but much less range, and much lower durability, if you hold one in each hand, and right click you gain resistance 5 for 1 second (Basically a parry)

Staff
Staff
Deals -1 damage as its sword counterpart with a much faster cooldown, much more range, and it can block like a shield, but you can still sprint and move at normal speed while using it

Rapier
