The monosword is a DLC melee weapon that does a large amount of damage, has a fairly short cooldown, and deals sharp damage, it also boasts one of the highest armor penetration values for melee weapons in the game.

It has a great advantage against armored targets and cause opponents to bleed out fairly quickly as the Monosword lops off limbs with fair ease.

Acquisition

If the Royalty DLC is active, monoswords can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant, at Empire settlements or obtained as a quest reward,

Analysis

Unlike the two other Ultra-level weapons, the plasmasword and the zeushammer, the monosword inflicts no status effect, instead it has its disproportionately large armor piercing value. With this exceptional AP and a high Damage per Second, it is one of the best and most versatile melee weapons in the game, performing well against all targets while its brethren excel in specific roles.

Keep in mind however that while it does have exceptional AP, armor pieces tend to be more protective against sharp than blunt. Thus, against high tier armors that aren't negated by the either weapon's AP, the monosword is more affected by armor than the zeushammer of the same quality. For example, a normal quality zeushammer would have a higher effective DPS against a normal quality set of Cataphract armor than a normal quality monosword. When the monosword AP is sufficient to outright negate the armor, such as against a poor flak vest, then the superior optimal DPS of the monosword would win out.
