Weapons

Weapons are a primary mechanic in the Assassin of Steve trilogy. They are primarily used to damage mobs, and can come in the form of Swords, Bows, Axes or Scythes in the first two maps. In Assassin of Steve 3, there are also Daggers and Heavy Weapons. Because of the large count of missions in each map, weapons can do absurd amounts of damage by the end of the game. Additionally, some weapons can be found in Legendary sets, which are generally stronger than weapons found within the same mission.

## Weapon Classes

Melee weapons fall into a number of different loose 'classes' based mostly on their attack speed values. Weapons normally have higher attack damage when they have low attack speed, and vice versa, in order so that each weapon that can be found in a mission normally has around the same DPS.

Note that some weapons fall into a different class than for which their name or physical appearance actually implies. For example the Steel Mace is considered to be part of the Axe class, and the Gear Dagger falls into the Scythe class because it has Looting.

### Swords

Swords generally have 1.6 attack speed like vanilla swords. They can do a sweeping attack, dealing damage to nearby mobs near the one you attacked and also knocking them back. Most swords only have 1 sweeping damage, however towards the late game of Assassin of Steve 3, they begin to have increased sweeping damage. Swords are good for dealing with large numbers of mobs.

### Greatswords

Greatswords generally have 1.2 attack speed, making them slightly slower, but they almost always have increased sweeping damage and Knockback or Fire Aspect enchantments. However, most greatswords are rare weapons.

### Axes

Axes generally have 0.8 attack speed, although sometimes they can have up to 0.9 or as low as 0.6. Axes do not have sweeping damage, but they deal more damage than swords, making them useful for taking down most mobs in only a couple of swipes. Because of their slow attack speed and lack of sweeping damage, axes are generally suited if you're dealing with only one or a few mobs at a time. If you come up against a larger horde you'd best switch to a sword.

### Heavy Weapons

Heavy Weapons have very low attack speed, around 0.25-0.33, meaning it takes a few seconds for their attack cooldowns to recharge, which is nightmarishly slow in the heat of battle. However, they deal an insane amount of damage, often enough to kill most mobs in one hit, especially if you land a critical hit. All Heavy Weapons are rare weapons, and mostly consist of Chair weapons.

### Daggers

Daggers have "No Attack Cooldown," which means that they do not have an attack cooldown so you can spam-click with it like in 1.8 and before. They deal less damage than swords and lack a sweeping attack, but they are useful for attacking quickly.

### Scythes

A subclass of daggers are scythes, which normally always have Looting enchantments. The Gear Dagger is considered a scythe because of its looting enchantment even though it's not actually a scythe.
