Fell and Sell weapon families split into fast and heavy weapons with a shield blocking option. Fast weapons trade raw damage for swing speed and stamina efficiency; heavy weapons trade swing speed for raw damage and stagger. Crafted gear changes the choice because crafted weapons can lift the player's effective tier without raising the unbanked-haul risk on the next run. The Bloodstone Greatsword, Heavy Iron Sword, and Goblin Halberd autocomplete suggestions resolve to Elder Scrolls Online items and are kept only inside the disambiguation block.
Fell and Sell weapon families
Fell and Sell weapon families split into fast and heavy weapons with a shield blocking option. Fast weapons trade raw damage for swing speed and stamina efficiency; heavy weapons trade swing speed for raw damage and stagger. Shield blocking absorbs incoming hits while the player waits for an opening. The fast-versus-heavy framing is attributed to guide sources.
Fast versus heavy trade-offs including recovery time
Fast weapons recover quickly and fit short dungeon runs where the marginal stamina cost of every swing matters. Heavy weapons recover slowly and fit deep-floor runs where the raw damage and the stagger value outweigh the recovery time. The trade-off framing is attributed to guide sources.
How crafted gear changes the choice
Crafting raises the effective tier of a weapon without raising the unbanked-haul risk on the next run, because crafted weapons are personal gear rather than banked haul. That makes crafting the right way to push into a higher weapon tier when the dungeon side of the loop has the gold to spare. The crafting framing is attributed to guide sources; the existence of crafting is official Steam feature text ("Forge stronger weapons and tougher armor").
