Mastering the Longsword in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to the Best Blades
Longswords are a cornerstone of effective combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, offering a potent blend of speed, power, and reach. This guide highlights the most formidable longswords available, categorized for ease of use and acquisition.
Toledo Steel Sword
Forged from superior Toledo steel and reforged from a broken blade, this longsword packs a punch with 132 stab, 125 slash, and 25 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 12 and Agility 15, it's relatively accessible early in the game. Its high durability (159) and defense (194) make it a reliable companion in extended battles. Acquired by completing "The Hermit" quest, often tied to the blacksmith storyline at the Semine wedding.
Balshan’s Sword
A legendary blade once wielded by Sir Jan Posy of Zimburg, this longsword boasts impressive stats: 149 stab, 157 slash, and 24 blunt damage. However, it demands Strength 14 and Agility 20, making it a late-game weapon suitable for experienced warriors. Its high defense (225) and respectable durability (120) ensure it can withstand considerable punishment.
Blacksmith’s Defender
A practical, well-crafted longsword prioritizing functionality over flashy aesthetics. Dealing 75 stab, 86 slash, and 32 blunt damage, it's a solid mid-tier option. Its low stat requirements (Strength 7, Agility 9) make it an excellent early-game choice. With 126 defense and 99 durability, it provides reliable protection.
Broad Longsword
This longsword features a wider blade, resulting in increased durability (200) but slightly reduced swing speed. The damage output compensates, delivering 166 stab, 158 slash, and 32 blunt damage. Suitable for experienced fighters (Strength 16, Agility 19), its high defense (246) makes it ideal for prolonged combat. It can be purchased or crafted.
Dry Devil’s Longsword
A finely crafted weapon designed for swift, precise strikes. It delivers 157 stab, 150 slash, and 30 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 15 and Agility 18, it's perfect for skilled swordsmen who prioritize speed and technique.
Godwin’s Longsword
Similar to the Dry Devil’s Longsword but with more balanced stats, Godwin's Longsword offers 129 stab, 123 slash, and a notably higher 73.8 blunt damage. Its high defense (220) and durability (200) make it a strong contender, particularly in duels. It requires Strength 16 and Agility 18.
Hanush’s Sword
A finely balanced longsword better suited for skilled swordplay than large-scale battles. It boasts 166 stab, 158 slash, and 32 blunt damage, excelling in fast-paced encounters. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's a weapon for experienced duelists.
Henry’s Longsword & Henry’s Sword Reforged
Henry's Longsword, a historically significant blade, deals 149 stab, 142 slash, and 28 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 14 and Agility 17, it's a solid intermediate-level weapon. Its reforged version significantly increases damage and durability, but demands higher stats (Strength 20, Agility 23).
Kuttenberg Longsword
A top-tier weapon crafted by Master Enderlin, this longsword delivers 166 stab, 158 slash, and 32 blunt damage. It requires Strength 16 and Agility 19, making it a weapon for skilled combatants.
Lord Capon’s Longsword
With stats similar to Henry's Longsword (149 stab, 142 slash, 28 blunt damage), this blade is better suited for skillful dueling. It requires Strength 14 and Agility 17. Its exact location remains somewhat elusive.
