Optional Equipment

*Epee: A type of rapier with a thin blade. It was used by European nobles and knights for duels of honor, but it was uncommon for it to be used on the battlefield. Its light weight makes it difficult to knock enemies aside with.

  Epee

• Stiletto: A sword designed to deal with the advancement of plate armor. It was designed solely for the sake of piercing and was feared on the battlefield by knights in armor. Its blade pierces through an opponent's armor and promises deep wounds.

• Reiterpallasch: A long sword used by knights in Western Europe, it excels at both cutting and piercing. Its best feature is the hilt design which protects the wielder's hand. It has a sharp edge and can easily break an opponent's defense.

Weaknesses: Soul Edge can be destroyed fairly easily if struck in the correct spots, and both can let out maelstroms of power too immense for Raphael's body to withstand.
