Persona plasmaswords are a strict upgrade to the base [[plasmasword]], with a higher damage, decreased attack cooldown, and a 70% to ignite pawns on a blade hit (from 50%). Against enemies immune to fire, such as [[mechanoid]]s, the persona plasmasword is slightly better than a [[plasteel]] [[longsword]]. The longsword is significantly easier to farm, however. | Persona plasmaswords are a strict upgrade to the base [[plasmasword]], with a higher damage, decreased attack cooldown, and a 70% to ignite pawns on a blade hit (from 50%).

But for most practical scenarios, the existence of fire-immune targets, the lack of {{AP}} on the flame attack, and the lower AP overall means that the monosword edges out. Also, flame damage is unaffected by [[quality]], so a high quality monosword wins. |
Enemies on fire will run around wildly and are unable to fight back. This makes either plasmasword dominant in a 1v1 fight against flammable targets, or in any melee fight out in the open. However, the fire can end up being a major drawback. Enemies on fire will ignore ''collision'', meaning that they will run right past a [[defense tactics#Melee blocking|melee block]], go behind your colonists, and ruin your formation. The plasmasword also loses its advantage if an enemy deploys a [[firefoam pop pack]]. | Enemies on fire will run around wildly and are unable to fight back.
