Damage

From Chivalry Medieval Warfare Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Each attack of each weapon does different damage. Moreover, there are different types of damage, every class having varying resistances and vulnerabilities to these types. Note that some weapons can do two types of damage simultaneously, such as the Morning Star's pierce-blunt or the Falchion's slash-blunt. There are currently no pure swing-pierce attacks in the game, though it may be added in the future.

------

Generally speaking (and there are many exceptions),

Daggers and Swords (both 1 handed and 2 handed) do swing damage, and have a powerful piercing stab.

Axes (Both 1 handed and 2 handed) do high swing-blunt damage, and have a weak blunt stab.

Spears and Polearms have powerful ranged piercing stab(s) and swing(s) respectively at the cost of the other coresponding attack's damage. Spears exchange their overhead swing for a powerful piercing Lunge.

Blunt Weapons (both 1 handed and 2 handed) only do one type of damage, either pure blunt or pure blunt-pierce. They generally have weak stabs.

Ranged weapons can be of either pierce, blunt, swing, or general damage types with varying amounts of power; Javelins also have a piercing melee stab and a blunt overhead shield bash.

------

Swing damage is most potent on Archers, and not very potent on Knights.

Pierce damage is most potent on Vanguards, and does the most consistent damage across classes.

Blunt damage is most potent on Knights, and less potent on Archers.

General damage does universal damage independent of class defenses.

Men-at-Arms have no one weakness, but don't have great defenses either.
