Role: Mid- to late-game melee weapon that controls space with long, sweeping arcs, breaking through clustered enemies and punishing anyone who steps into your reach.
Synergy tips: Crusader Sword pairs best with offensive runes like Drain Edge, Flaming Spark, Venom Crumb, or Blast Chip, letting each heavy swing spread strong on-hit effects across multiple targets.

Playstyle
Crusader Sword rewards patient spacing and deliberate swings. Use its reach to clip enemies at the edge of your range, then follow up with heavy cleaves while staying just outside of their counter-attacks.
Strengths
High base damage with strong single-hit impact.
Long reach that keeps you safer than daggers and gauntlets.
Wide swings that naturally hit multiple targets.
Scales well with lifesteal and defensive runes for frontline play.
Weaknesses
Slow recovery on whiffed swings; missed attacks are heavily punished.
Can struggle against very fast or highly mobile enemies.
Requires good positioning; over-committing can get you surrounded.
