This would be nice for the game. A rapier or thrusting sword could have more unique combat features. Like maybe instead of blocking it's a parry right before the attack hits and it stuns for a short period. Obviously make the attack animations thrusts and maybe keep sword dash the same. Let me know what you think about this and please consider it for the game.
Rapier sword type
@maxmegavenom I had the same idea with different sword types. rapiers are fast and deal as much as a cutlass and can bypass blocks, it’s sword dash has shorter range and recovery time. then i also have heavy swords which are slow but heavy hitting dealing 30 damage per swing (3 swing combo) and the charge attack is an overhead swing that deals 90 damage.
@maxmegavenom there are rapiers in game i believe. It's a cool idea but considering the struggle with getting hit registration and general swordplay /blocking to work i don't think adding an additional step of parry (assume then riposte) would be feasible
Yeah, I really wish the rapier and the heavy sword actually behaved differently than the normal cutlasses. But instead they are just skins that behave exactly the same. It's lazy and also misleading as the names make it seem like a new weapon type (especially in ads/trailers), when it's just more of the same.
