The Swordbreaker is a Dagger in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Availability[]
- Can be crafted from Mythril ×2 and Damascus ×1.
- Can be bought for 10,800G from Dominique's store once crafted.
The Swordbreaker can be crafted once the player has found the Damascus Equipment/R recipe in the Underground Sorcery Lab about halfway through the game. Its required materials are both fairly common.
Usage[]
While Swordbreaker is equipped, Miriam's attack becomes the "dagger thrust" with a +24 ATK boost and the Thrust attribute. As its description implies, it also inflicts an ATK debuff on successfully striking an enemy, though the precise mechanics of this are not clear.
It is initially capable of the Assassinate technique (30 MP, Down → Down-Back → Back → Forward + Attack), which will be passed onto all daggers once mastered.
Swordbreaker is a material used for crafting the following item:
- Main Gauche (Swordbreaker ×1, Gold ×1, Steel ×1)
Swordbreaker is used to enhance the following shard:
- Dagger Expertise Ranks 8, 9 (Swordbreaker ×1)
Trivia[]
- A swordbreaker was a type of parrying dagger used by European duelists in the late Middle Ages. It would be held in the user's off-hand (usually their left) and had a serrated comb-like blade that was used to snag an opponent's sword. It is said that sharply twisting the weapon could snap a caught blade, though scholars have cast doubts on whether this would be possible with a well-made period sword.
