Zweihander

The Zweihander (German for "two-hander") is a weapon in My Normal Obsession (which will possibly be added to other installments) that's known for its superb balance of Guard, range, damage, and weight. It's among one of the more nimble swords of its kind, as it only has an attack delay of 0.35 seconds, which is quite good for a two-handed weapon. Its only significant downsides are its slow recovery speed after parrying, demanding Stamina consumption, and its inability to receive certain Hexes, namely Vampiric (weight down + chance to heal), BloodLead (doubled weight, damage up with each hit, and inflicts natural Boiling), and Mark of Lucifer (range up + guard down).
== In-game Description ==
The Zweihander (or "two-hander") is one of few swords you wouldn't want to face on the battlefield. Boasting well-rounded stats and low weight, it can inflict devastating cuts with ease, not to mention its incredible ability to catch enemy blades. Serving as more well-rounded alternative to polearms, it's unlikely to falter against short-ranged swords and daggers, but maces and shovels can easily breach its defenses.
