'''Swords''' were weapons used by military units, [[guards]], and members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] to engage in open combat against armed opponents, and usually acted as primary weapons alongside a [[Short blades|short blade]] or [[Firearms|pistol]]. Swords could be either one or two-handed, though the latter was mostly classified as a [[Heavy weapons|heavy weapon]].


Swords had a long reach, great power, and a quick attack rate, though not as much as [[long weapons]], heavy weapons or short blades, respectively. As such, they could be seen as the most balanced weapons available.
Aside from attack, a sword could also be used to block or counter an enemy, or break through their defense. They, along with most [[blunt weapons]], were also the only weapons that could be used from [[Horses|horseback]].
==History==
===Third Crusade===
[[File:Altair sword evolution.png|thumb|left|250px|The swords used by Altaïr in 1191]]
In the High Middle Ages, guards used no other melee weapon but swords, and the guards of [[Masyaf]] regularly practiced swordplay in the courtyard, stressing how important it was to wield a blade. Maces were uncommon at the time, and the sword was a mainstay in any arsenal, even for [[archers]].
The sword became available to an Assassin upon reaching the second [[Ranks|rank]], with more powerful, better quality swords being presented to him as he progressed. [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] began with a dull-gray sword that lacked a guard and had a curved hilt. His second sword resembled the first, though it possessed a silvery sheen and a distinct pommel.
The third sword was [[Sword of Altaïr|his personal weapon]], which was constructed of a hand guard that was shaped like an eagle's wings, along with an eagle's head at the pommel. Altaïr's final sword was the [[Syrian Sabre]]. It had a curved blade, a characteristic of Arabic swords, and indicated a very high status, as the hilt and sheath were covered in gold.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
===Renaissance===
[[File:ACII-Armory 2.png|thumb|250px|Weapon room in the Villa Auditore]]
Come the [[Renaissance]], maces had become equally as popular as the sword, and matched them in use and availability. The first sword [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] obtained came from [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|his father]], and was stored in a chest hidden in the [[Palazzo Auditore]]. However, he quickly lost it when he was disarmed in his attempt to save his father and brothers from execution.
Ezio was later equipped with a similar sword, courtesy of his uncle, [[Mario Auditore]], when he arrived at [[Monteriggioni]]. Following this, he could buy a variety of swords or maces from [[blacksmiths]]. Any unequipped weapons he later purchased were stored at the [[Villa Auditore]]'s armory.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
Swords and maces continued to be a central part of combat in [[Rome]]. Around this time, Ezio was more aggressive in his fights, and used a variety of new attacks against his enemies. Additionally, Ezio learned to [[Dual-wielding|dual-wield]] his [[Hidden Gun]] with his primary weapon, in order to kill an enemy from a distance, or perform an instant double kill with both his sword and gun during a kill-streak.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
===Age of Discovery===
During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] used a variety of swords. He typically kept a pair on his person, dual-wielding them in combat. Despite the widespread of [[firearms]] among the militaries and other factions, various individuals also typically carried a sword for close combat.
===Age of Revolution===
[[File:ACIRealSteel.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Haytham Kenway's shortsword]]
[[Haytham Kenway]], Edward's son, utilized a shortsword in combat during his early life, though it was ultimately lost in a in a duel with the Assassin [[Miko]] in [[Corsica]]. Years late, upon his arrival in the American colonies, Haytham used a saber during the [[Seven Years' War]] and the [[American Revolutionary War]].
The Assassin-turned-Templar, [[Shay Cormac]], dual-wielded a sword and a parrying dagger, similar to the pair of 12th century Templar brothers, [[Shalim]] and [[Shahar]].
Haytham's son, the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]], was known to utilize a combined sword and Hidden Blade attacks in combat. Around this time, the practice of sword-wielding amongst common soldiers had declined, with greater focus being placed on flintlock muskets with attached bayonets. Only the high-ranked officers were known to carry a sword on their person.
During the [[French Revolution]], swords were commonly used by soldiers of the [[French Army]], as well as other organisations such as the [[Jacobins]] and [[Royalists]]. Common soldiers usually utilized sabres, while officers wielded rapiers. The [[French Assassins|French Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]] and Templar [[Élise de la Serre]] each wielded a sabre.
[[File:Cane Sword.jpg|thumb|250px|Evie Frye's cane-sword]]
Due to limitations and regulations regarding weaponry in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], Assassins such as [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] used cane-swords, which were blades disguised with the appearance of a walking cane.<ref>[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-syndicate-combat-navigation-stealth/ Ubiblog: ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - Combat, Navigation, Stealth]</ref>

==Trivia==
;''Assassin's Creed II''
*All weapons on the special weapons rack could be obtained after synchronizing with the PSP, upon completion of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]].''
*The Sword of Altaïr could only be purchased from the blacksmith shop in [[Monteriggioni]].
*The Syrian sabre dealt less damage than the Sword of Altaïr, despite the Syrian sabre having been the best sword in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''.
*The first sword that Ezio acquired was the common sword. However, when he was disarmed by a [[Brutes|Brute]] during the execution of his family, it became the Syrian sabre.
;''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''
*The [[Captain]] used a shortsword that resembled a shorter version of the Milanese Sword.
*The Scimitar and Florentine Falchion were used by the guards, but were not purchasable from the blacksmiths. However, they could be acquired by disarming a guard while Ezio did not have a weapon equipped.
;''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag''
*Several of Edward's counters and executions are alterations of Connor's, many of which omit Connor's jumping or spinning.
