There should be a few weapon choices other than swords, because you see a lot of different weapons in Demon Slayer.
- Daggers
(Weight type – Light)
-
In exchange for less damage than other weapons, you can strike faster than most.
-
Downside is you can be block-broken, and you have shorter parry frames.
- Axes:
(Weight type – Heavy)
-
Do a little more damage than daggers and swords, but in exchange have slower swings that stun enemies for a short period.
-
downside is slower swings.. a player can interrupt your swing animation if you don't manage to get the first hit off stunning them enough for the second, third, and fourth.
- Bow:
(Weight type - light-medium-heavy)
-
upside of having a bow you can apply poison to the tips of arrows if you want!
-
The downside is, you are pretty much open to damage, and bows damage can have variations.
