Whip swords in the Rapier class include the Whip Sword, Garian Sword, Kris Naga, and Nebula. Normal swords of the Rapier class include the Rapier, Fleuret, Main Gauche, Small Sword, and Estoc. Whip swords are also considered Rapiers, as their chain segments thrust and expand forward like a rapier attacks. Like knives, their icon images show a blade pointing to the left and they deal piercing damage instead of slashing damage. These swords stab forward with great force and are essentially longer knives. Unlike previous games where there were only two Rapier-like weapons, there is an entire class of weapons known as Rapiers in Dawn of Sorrow. The Fleuret is otherwise identical to the Rapier. The next most powerful Rapier is the Fleuret which can only be found in a treasure chest in the Garden of Madness and will be the first Rapier style weapon obtained if the Rapier was not purchased earlier. Since this weapon cannot evolve into a more powerful weapon, it doesn't make much sense to buy it late in the game. The Rapier can only be purchased at Hammer's Shop for cheap, so be sure to buy one at the beginning of the game if you want a Rapier-style weapon early on, since you will definitely not stumble across it randomly later on. Its special move is a simple dash forward attack. Like all Rapiers, it is thrust forward and deal Piercing damage instead of Slashing. The Rapier is the first "Rapier" class weapon you are likely to obtain. There are no other fencing-style weapons, though the stubby Cutall attacks similarly. Later on, you can buy a more powerful Estoc (or get one from a Dead Crusader) to replace it. It is a little bit shorter than a Short Sword you will likely have when you first get it, but significantly more powerful and a bit faster. You can also buy one from Hammer when you first go to his shop, but by then you should already have one and it should be outclassed by the Bastard Sword anyways. It won't be long until you're guaranteed one, though, so long as you explore the first bell tower of the Chapel properly. ![]() ![]() The first chance you have to obtain this weapon is for the Skeleton Knight to drop one near the end of the Castle Corridor. The weapon does Sword damage like every other weapon in the game does. The animation sequence is different than horizontal swinging swords, but the effect is much the same. The Rapier in Aria of Sorrow moves in a stabbing instead of a slashing sequence. Once the sword starts getting obsolete, it can be replaced by the similar but stronger Were Bane, the only other sword like it. Because of its special attack style and ability, this sword may remain relevant for a long time after you obtain many more powerful swords. You are pretty much guaranteed to get one from a Dhuron when you first enter the Long Library. Symphony of the Night does not distinguish between slashing damage and piercing damage, so the Rapier deals out standard Cut damage like its Scimitar counterpart. Alucard is vulnerable to attack during this action, though. This move does not consume any MP and can quickly wear down an enemy's defenses. In addition to the extra speed, it has a special attack move where Alucard makes a dozen quick stabbing actions at different heights. This can be repeated faster than an average sword swing. Its strength is equal to the Scimitar, but instead of a horizontal slash, Alucard stabs the sword forward. The Rapier in Symphony of the Night plays a lot differently than standard swords such as the Scimitar. Game specific information Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
