- Katana, cause massive damage when parrying your opponents
- Longsword, a well-balanced, hard-hitting and adaptable sword

Tactical Sword Fighting
There are no unlockable advantages in Blade Symphony. All unlockables are cosmetic. You care about proving your skill and so should your game.
Every attack has openings that are determined in real-time and efficacy is entirely up to you. Did you start an attack too early? Turn away and end the attack in a safe location. Did your opponent stupidly use a lighter stance? Go in and punish him! By switching stances mid-combo you can chain attacks into your own flurry of death.
The fighting system is open for your exploration, you can dash, jump, do an air attack, land, swing sideways with a heavy stance, parry with a light stance, and then roll away.
Every attack flows from your blade in true three-dimensional space. As do your opponents! Swords collide in mid-air and you will need good timing and aim to defeat your opponent.

The game builds its identity around highly technical sword combat, elegant movement systems, and skill-based encounters that reward mastery through practice rather than simple button mashing. Even years after release, it remains one of the more unique and demanding multiplayer melee games available on PC. The combat system serves as the heart of the entire experience. Every duel feels tense because players must constantly balance offense, defense, positioning, and stamina management while predicting their opponent’s intentions. Fights often become mental battles where both players carefully observe movement patterns and wait for opportunities to punish mistakes. A single poorly timed attack can completely shift momentum, making even short encounters feel dramatic and satisfyi…1 found this helpful
This game is very confusing, but fun.
seemed a lot better like a decade ago. now it's just your standart "hit sword on enemy with stance and blocking" but pretty raw with very few features and not good looks.
