Monosword

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.

Obtaining

Monoswords can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward, once you have the Royalty DLC active. The Monosword has a linked variant whereupon the death of its user, will be unable to be used again.

Linked Monoswords

It is also possible to obtain "linked" versions of Monoswords, These linked variants boast a significantly higher dps and slightly higher AP and can only be used by a single pawn.

Linked Monoswords have randomized names akin to Artifact items from Dwarf Fortress.
