Rapier and Sabers are great with aggressive attacks, if you can find openings or opportunity, a good way to take a foe down without killing them, is to hit them in vital areas, such as their gut, and face.
Sweeping their legs as well is a good way to get them down, but it always depends on the person. If you can bring a person down, you basically have won the fight.
Whack your opponent's legs as well with the blade, so you can inflict a wound but not a fatal wound if you're looking to only bring them down and not kill them.
Don't give them time to breathe either
I know all of that! There is NOWAY at this small 120 pounds I could weild such a thing! I have a OC who can wield one VERY well!
Ye that's another thing, weight, and strength.
Strength and Speed makes Power.
So having good power to yourself allows for easier execution on your attacks.
Being a resourceful and creative Swordsman is by far the best kind
Use your surroundings
For any blade, have a certain amount of power is always good.
Say you're in a sword fight, and you've managed to swat their blade away just long enough to stun them. He still has his weapon in his arm, but you've moved it temporarily out of the way. Take this opportunity and strike, look at the enemy and see what would be easiest to strike.
Typically, if you had your opponent focused on the upper side, strike him in the below. Whip that Rapier, and strike your Saber hard on his leg. Then kick him in the gut, and try to knock him down.
Always keep your guard up for he could recover fast.
Got some dirt in your hand? Play a little dirty, it's not like you're 2v1ing the guy. This ain't a duel, it's more of a street fight type of battle.
Totally Honorable because, using dirt to blind the enemy is only bad when you're having a simple spar/duel. If you're fighting for life or death, that's different, you can use some dirty tricks.
At least assuming the Duel, is a simple test of skills.
If the Duel is for a bet, has specific rules, or some other third thing, then using a little dirt should be okay, as long as you ain't 2v1ing the guy, cause that's unfair. Only time 2v1ing can be acceptable in a Life or Death battle is if you didn't agree to the Life or Death battle, or depending on the situation.
Because accepting a duel, that may cost your life, and then deciding to 2v1ing them is uncoolio. You accepted the fight, knowingly, that you may die.
it says something about your stregth when you sword can be used like a spear, and when you say a roman gladitor longsword do you mean a gladius byzantius?
who would win,super battle ship bismark or some ww1 area scout planes filled with legends?
Hmm

BISMARK IN MOTION - A BEAST MADE OF STEAL
bismark wasn't that big of a battleship
and the Yamato-Class was 32,000 long tons heavier
Bismarck has a better reputation then Yamato because of how it went down fighting other battleships compared to the Yamato being torn apart by Aircraft
Not my point
He called it a super battleship
In terms of historical context, it technically would have been as it was the most powerful battleship on earth at the time
But later in the war, absolutely not
For like 2 years
Yamatos launched in like 1942
If something is the biggest for a period of time and not all time, it’s hardly kept note of
