3D Dot Game Heroes/Swords

On your adventure, you will come across various swords that you can wield. When at full life, your sword is quite larger and can slay enemies more easily; once you take damage, however, the sword becomes smaller and harder to hit enemies with. Most swords can be forged at the smithy in Raejack Village to add to or further increase their attributes, though once their maximum potential is reached, the sword cannot be upgraded any further unless its stats are reset.
