Falchion Sword is a weapon in the Straight Swords category. It offers a balanced mix of speed, range, and cleave, making it a strong sidegrade to slower greatswords and a heavier alternative to lightweight daggers.
Role: Mid-game hybrid melee weapon that mixes decent damage, good reach, and flowing swings, letting you weave through crowds while chipping away at multiple enemies at once.
Synergy tips: Falchion Sword excels with offensive on-hit runes like Flaming Spark, Venom Crumb, Blast Chip, and Drain Edge, turning each sweeping slash into a chain of burns, poison, explosions, or lifesteal across several targets.

Playstyle
Falchion Sword favors hit-and-run sweeps. Slide in, throw a curved slash through multiple enemies, then reposition before they collapse on you, repeating this rhythm to wear groups down safely.
Strengths
Balanced mix of damage, speed, and range.
Curved swings naturally cleave through clustered enemies.
Pairs well with on-hit runes thanks to multi-target hits.
More forgiving and mobile than heavier greatswords.
Weaknesses
Jack-of-all-trades: doesn’t hit as hard as true greatswords or as fast as daggers.
Requires spacing discipline; over-committing can get you surrounded.
Feels weaker without strong runes or upgrades to back up its hybrid role.
