Swords
Swords are the beginning and default weapon that Elliot will wield. They generally have low attack but high attack speed, meaning the player can do multiple slashes with them in a short period of time.
For their special (charged) attack, they unleash a slash in the direction of their attack and can damage an enemy far away. As the player gets better swords, the special attack can be charged multiple times to create even bigger damage.
There is also an ultimate attack that can only be used with the best sword weapon in the game that can be pursued while doing the Good/Standard and True Endings.
Later, we will go deeper into how to maximize the potential of using a sword.

Sword Magicites
Magicites are special gems that can help the player's weapon have added effects. Some magicite effects may be powerful but will have some consequence in exchange.
How to Acquire Magicites
Magicites can be acquired by finding them in chests in the overworld. Special 5-star Magicites can be locked in red chests behind special doors that can only be opened with the Leytstaf.
Magicites can also be obtained through the Magicite Shop. At first, before obtaining all types of weapons, the player can only get random magicites for all weapons for every 5 magicite fragments the player exchanges. Once obtaining all weapon types, the player can create magicities for specific weapons for every 10 magicite fragments.

Best Sword Magicite Combinations
The sword is unique in that it can be combined with the shield in order to make a pseduo-parry build where the player prioritizes guarding alongside attacking, especially once precise guarding becomes available with the Moonmirror (restored).
On the flipside, the player can also make a build where it uses the consequences of not using a shield to increase the attack prowess of the sword.
The player can also optimize for special attacks. Some magicites will give extra slashes or help in letting the player do more special attacks in a short period of time.
| Build | Magicites |

| For all Builds | Attack Up, Critical Damage Up, Success Streak, Finisher, Critical Rate-Up |
| Alongside Shield | Shield Repair, Guard Counter, Defenseless Combo, Total Guard |
