Buy OSRS Swift blade

Description

The Swift blade is a one-handed melee weapon in Old School RuneScape. It is a dull blade that moves at incredible speed. It attacks every 3 ticks, which is 1.8 seconds. Only three other melee weapons in the game are this fast. The Swift blade uses Stab and Slash attack styles, while the other fast weapons use Crush.

The Swift blade has no combat stat bonuses and no Attack level requirement. This makes it the best weapon for training Defence pures. It also works well with the stab bonus from Ardougne cloaks.

Many players use the Swift blade in the Theatre of Blood for the Nylocas room because of its fast speed. It is a top pick over the Ham joint and Goblin paint cannon. Its attack styles do not overlap with the dragon warhammer, so players can keep the warhammer on an accurate style and the Swift blade on an aggressive style. It is also a bit more accurate than a Ham joint when used with a defender, since defenders give +2 more stab accuracy than crush.

The Swift blade weighs 1.814 kg and can be stored in the armour case of a costume room.
