For the non-persona variant of this weapon, see Plasmasword.

The Persona Plasmasword is a DLC melee weapon is a melee weapon added by the Royalty DLC that does a decent amount of damage, has a relatively fast cooldown, and deals sharp damage with the bonus of very frequently setting the opponent on fire.

Acquisition

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

Analysis

Compared to their base variants, persona plasmaswords boast a significantly higher DPS and can only be used by a single pawn unless they have the Freewielder trait. Persona plasmaswords have randomized names akin to Legendary items from Dwarf Fortress.

As with the base Plasmasword, it can set enemies on fire, this makes a powerful weapon against non-mechanoid enemies in the game. 1v1 fights generally tilt in favor of the plasmasword wielder since setting enemies on fire can prevent them from fighting back.
