Slayer

Slayer is a sword weapon that emphasizes heavy single-target damage and wide sweeping primary strikes. Its main attack is a three-hit combo of broad sword swings, with the third strike dealing double damage. The alternate attack is a slow but powerful thrust that deals triple damage to an enemy directly in front of the wielder.

The weapon’s primary attacks are fairly vertical and reach widely, making them useful for cutting through enemies in front of the player, while the third strike in the combo is narrower in horizontal range. The secondary attack has long reach and can outdistance most enemies, making it especially strong for finishing blows or engaging safely from farther away. In practice, Slayer rewards deliberate timing more than rapid button-mashing, since its strongest hits come from committing to the full attack chain.

Its upgrade path is expensive and centered on late-game materials. The base version requires 30 Flametal, 3 Morgen Sinew, and 5 Asksvin Hide. Upgrades follow this pattern:

• Quality 1: 30 Flametal, 3 Morgen sinew, 5 Asksvin hide
• Quality 2: 15 Flametal, 3 Morgen sinew, 5 Asksvin hide
• Quality 3: 30 Flametal, 6 Morgen sinew, 10 Asksvin hide
• Quality 4: 45 Flametal, 9 Morgen sinew, 15 Asksvin hide

The sword’s slash damage increases from 170 at quality 1 to 176, 182, and 188 at quality 4. Durability rises from 200 to 250, 300, and 350 across the same levels. The total cost for a fully upgraded Slayer is 120 Flametal, 21 Morgen sinew, and 35 Asksvin hide. However, only level 3 is currently obtainable, with a total cost of 75 Flametal, 15 Morgen sinew, and 20 Asksvin hide.

Because its secondary attack has excellent damage and long reach, Slayer is well suited to dealing with tougher enemies one at a time or striking targets before they can close distance. Its broad primary swings also make it effective against clustered threats, especially when the player can line up enemies in front of them.
