A All sharp melee weapons come also with (weak) blunt attacks.
B A jade knife can only be obtained via the Lost tribe scenario; they cannot be crafted nor purchased.
C These weapons cannot be created by the player, they are able to be obtained through quests and purchasing them from Merchants. All but the eltex staff come in "persona" variants that cannot be wielded by anyone other than the bonded pawn unless it has the "freewielder" trait, so make sure you choose a good pawn to use them.
D These weapons also have a 75% chance to set a pawn on fire. This damage is included in the DPS.

Descriptions

An advanced form of one of mankind's oldest weapons, the war axe is a short blade attached to a shaft. The simple, ancient design concentrates cutting power generated from strong overhand swings.

A short sword of ancient design. Good for stabbing or slashing. It's light and nimble, which sometimes lets it beat bigger, heavier weapons.

Ikwa.png

A short spearhandle attached to a long bladed point, designed to be driven into vital organs with a quick thrust.

Jade knife.png

One of mankind's oldest manufactured objects. The knife has taken many forms, but the concept has always remained the same: A handle for holding and a sharp edge for cutting.
