Jian (Timeless)

The Jian is an epic weapon, made for a versatile use and primarly to fight against unarmormed targets, as it will break down if it hits an armor more than two times

Appearance and origins
It is a 75 centimeters long bronze sword, with a long 4 centimeters wide blade and a 15cm long handle, with a crescent-shaped guard and a small circular pommel It is based on the jian, a very old chinese weapon used broadly during the Warring States period, but also used in later epochs. Here, it is based on regular jians, known for their thin blades and their fragility

Attack patterns
The Jian uses very fast attacks, and more powerful thrusting strikes. It is overall similar to knightly swords, but has an increased attack speed

Strategies
Albeit fragile, this weapon is very powerful, with both its thrusting and slashing attacks doing a very high amount of damage. It can easily attack without any problem regular zombies, and inflict a lot of damage to zombies like Sumo Zombies. However, it is very limited in terms of targets, as it will only be able to attack effectively unarmored targets ; attacking three times any kind of armor will render it useless for 30 seconds, which can be very long in the intense battles of Eastern Dynasty. Using it with a shield is also very important, since parrying heavy attacks can also break it down a little. Because this restricts its range to mostly weak targets, use it almost exclusively for crowd control or keep it for unarmored bosses, and remember to keep a more powerful weapon like a Yanyuedao or a Qiang.
