Knightsword (Timeless)

The Knightsword is a very powerful close range weapon, very slow to attack but able to achieve powerfuls strikes, and can even finish off ennemies with less than 100 HP or just stun them a bit

Appearance and origins
It is a 105 centimeters long sword, made out of iron, and with a classic design. The pommel can have various shapes, but is often small when compared to other swords. It is based on the weapon also known as the knightly sword, commonly used during the dark and middle ages.

Attack patterns
The Knightsword uses very heavy attacks, usually slow to execute. It can also be used to directly impale a weakened zombie and torn apart his body, effectively killing him, or to stun small zombies by hitting them hard with the non-sharp side.

Strategies
As it is heavy, you should use this weapon mainly when you're not overcrowded, otherwise you'll be stuck with slashing as your only possibility. It is quite powerful, being able to kill a Conehead Peasant in two thrusting headshots, and can be wield with a shield to be more protected. Where it become really useful is with its ability ; it allows the player to impale quickly a zombie if timed right without spending much stamina, unlike regular thrusting attacks. This allows you to instantly kill Peasant Zombies in a short amount of time, and any kind of weakened zombie without having to charge a thrusting attack and to do a headshot. You can also slightly stun them ; this is mainly useful against quick ennemies, but kinda useless against very large ennemies that can avoid getting stun easily
