Weapon Types

Every weapon in Soulrend has an Epic Fight weapon type: the moveset that decides how it swings, what its dash and jump attacks look like, how it guards and which innate skill it has. Weapons that share a type fight the same way, whatever they look like. Each weapon’s page shows its moveset in a table.

How it works#

A weapon type has one or more styles, and each style has:

Part What it is
Combo The chain of basic attacks, one per click of the attack key (left mouse). Stopping resets the chain.
Dash attack The attack used while sprinting.
Jump attack The attack used in the air.
Guard The animation used while guarding (right mouse), if a Guard skill is learned (see Dodging & Parrying).
Innate skill The weapon’s special move (see Innate Skills).

Styles change the moveset depending on how the weapon is held. The common ones are One Handed and Two Handed; many types switch to their one-handed style when something is held in the off hand. Mount is used while riding. Some types add their own stances, such as Epic Fight Extra’s longsword Guard Stance.

The type also sets what the weapon does to enemies: Impact (how long hits stun), Armor Negation and how many enemies one swing can hit (see Weight & Stuns).

For example, Epic Fight’s longsword:

Epic Fight weapon category: Longsword. It can't be held in the off hand.

Details#

  • Categories and types. Types are grouped into categories, the names the game shows (Longsword, Tachi, Spear…). One category can hold many registered types: Soulrend’s items use 260 types in 55 categories. Each category below has its own page listing its types, innate skills and weapons.
  • Who sets them. Epic Fight and its add-ons (Epic Fight Extra, Weapons of Miracles and WoM Plus, Nightfall, Dawnday, Resurrection, Awaken and others) register the types. Soulrend’s own datapack assigns about 830 items to them and adds a few types of its own.
  • Epic Fight Extra replaces the built-in types, so Epic Fight’s sword, longsword, tachi and the rest use Extra’s animations.
  • Two-handed weapons can’t be used in the off hand in Epic Fight. Soulrend’s separate two-handed rule decides dual-wield bonuses.
  • Tools have types too: axes, pickaxes, shovels and hoes all have movesets.

Weapons counts include every item of that category, tools and shields too.
