The Plasmasword is a DLC melee weapon that does a decent amount of damage, has a medium cooldown, and deals sharp damage with the bonus of frequently setting the opponent on fire.

Obtaining

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

Linked Plasmaswords

It is also possible to obtain "linked" versions of the plasmasword, These linked variants boast a significantly higher dps and slightly higher AP and can only be used by a single pawn, These linked weapons also have the requirement that the user have a specific Noble Title (Knight/Dame) to use it, lest you incur the wrath of the Empire. The Linked Plasma Swords also have randomized names akin to Legendary items from Dwarf Fortress.

Usage

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