The broad sword is a balanced one-handed cutting weapon in Omega 0.90.4. It raises base damage to 12 while keeping a useful +9 hit bonus.[1]
Generation and appearance
It is a common level-2 random weapon and can also appear through the pawn shop or weapon acquirement. Its unidentified, identified, and cursed names are all broad sword.[2][3][4][5]
Data and mechanics
A broad sword weighs 40, has base damage 12, grants +9 hit, and has a base value of 90 Au. It has fragility 15 and uses only the weapon hand. Its generated BUC state determines whether its initial plus is positive, nonnegative, or negative.[1][3][6]
Effects and interactions
The standard cut adds the player's Strength-based damage bonus. The broad sword can lunge, be thrown, and dig through walls. As a cutting weapon it lacks riposte and receives no thrusting digging multiplier.[7][8][9]
Strategy
The broad sword is a strong general upgrade from level-1 cutting weapons: compared with a short sword it gains 4 damage for only 2 hit and 15 weight. It also slightly outperforms the battle-axe in hit and weight at the same damage, so an equally enchanted broad sword is usually the better direct combat choice.[10][7][8][9]
