Recommended Longswords in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Toledo Steel Sword

Forged from high-quality Toledo steel and reforged from a broken hermit's sword, this blade boasts impressive stats: 132 stab damage, 125 slash damage, and 25 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 12 and Agility 15, it's relatively accessible early in the game. Its high durability (159) and defense (194) make it a reliable companion in extended battles. Earn this sword by completing “The Hermit” quest, a path that opens if you choose the blacksmith option during the Semine wedding storyline. Blacksmith Radwan will task you with retrieving the broken sword from Ambrose near Apollonia.

Balshan’s Sword

This legendary blade, once belonging to Sir Jan Posy of Zimburg, packs a serious punch with 149 stab damage, 157 slash damage, and 24 blunt damage. However, its high requirements—Strength 14 and Agility 20—reserve it for experienced swordsmen. Its exceptional defense (225) and decent durability (120) ensure it can withstand considerable punishment.

Blacksmith’s Defender

A practical and accessible choice, the Blacksmith’s Defender prioritizes functionality over flash. While not the most powerful, its 75 stab damage, 86 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage make it a solid mid-tier option. Its low requirements (Strength 7 and Agility 9) make it ideal for early-game players. With 126 defense and 99 durability, it provides reliable protection.

Broad Longsword

This longsword features a wider blade, resulting in increased durability (200) at the cost of slightly slower swing speed. The damage, however, more than compensates: 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's a weapon for seasoned combatants. Its high defense (246) ensures it can withstand prolonged battles. It can be purchased from Blacksmith Zdimir in Grund or crafted using 1x Cow Skin, 1x Ordinary Sword Guard, 1x Pear Sword Pommel, 2x Iron, and 3x Frankfurt Steel.

Dry Devil’s Longsword

This finely crafted weapon excels in speed and precision. Dealing 157 stab damage, 150 slash damage, and 30 blunt damage, it rewards skillful strikes rather than brute force. Its Strength 15 and Agility 18 requirements make it a weapon for skilled swordsmen who value technique.

Godwin’s Longsword

Similar to the Dry Devil’s Longsword but with more balanced stats, Godwin’s Longsword offers 129 stab damage, 123 slash damage, and a notably higher 73.8 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 18, it boasts impressive 220 defense and 200 durability, making it a strong contender, particularly in duels.

Hanush’s Sword

Designed for skilled swordplay, Hanush’s Sword delivers 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage, making it ideal for fast-paced combat. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it’s a weapon suited for experienced duelists. The quest to sharpen Hanush's dull sword provides an opportunity to enhance its effectiveness.

Henry’s Longsword

With a rich history tied to Henry's father and Sir Radzig Kobyla, this well-balanced longsword deals 149 stab damage, 142 slash damage, and 28 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 14 and Agility 17, it's a solid intermediate-level weapon with 220 defense and 179 durability. Its reforged version, Henry’s Sword Reforged, significantly boosts these stats, but demands Strength 20 and Agility 23.

Kuttenberg Longsword

Crafted by Master Enderlin of Kuttenberg, this longsword is a top-tier weapon, dealing 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it’s a testament to skilled craftsmanship.

Lord Capon’s Longsword

Lord Capon’s Longsword boasts stats similar to Henry’s Longsword (149 stab, 142 slash, 28 blunt damage), prioritizing speed and skill over raw power. It requires Strength 14 and Agility 17. The exact location of this sword remains unclear.
