Skills in the Short Blade skill tree
Skill | Cost | Stat | Prerequisites | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Short Blade Expertise | 0 | 0 Agility | You get +1 to hit with short blades. Also, you make primary-hand attacks with short blades as if your quickness were 25% higher. | |
Jab | 100 | 17 Agility | When you wield a short blade in your offhand, you make offhand attacks twice as often. This bonus applies to organic hands (natural and mutated) but not robotic hands. | |
Bloodletter | 150 | 17 Agility | Your short blade attacks that penetrate have a 75% chance to cause your opponent to bleed (0-1 damage per turn. toughness save; difficulty 20 + your agility modifier). The opponent saves to stop bleeding each round, and the save difficulty decreases by 1 each round. This effect can stack a number of times equal to 1 plus your agility modifier. | |
Hobble | 150 | 21 Agility | You make an attack with a short blade in your primary hand, looking for a weak spot in your opponent's armor. If you hit, you penetrate exactly once and hobble them (-50% movespeed for 16-20 rounds). | |
Pointed Circle | 100 | 23 Agility | Juke | Whenever you juke an opponent while wielding a short blade in your primary hand, you make a free attack. If you have Bloodletter, the attack's chance to cause bleeding is 100%. |
Rejoinder | 250 | 25 Agility | Once per turn, when an opponent misses you with a melee attack, there's a 40% chance you make a free attack with a short blade you're wielding. | |
Shank | 250 | 27 Agility | Activated; cooldown 10 (primary) or 20 (offhand). You make a melee attack with a short blade in your primary hand (preferred) or offhand. If you hit, the attack gets +2 penetration for each negative status effect your opponent suffers from. |

Trivia
Prior to the Deep Jungle feature arc (2.0.203.18)[1], a variety of "short sword" weapons were available in-game, including the bronze short sword, iron short sword, steel short sword, carbide short sword, folded carbide short sword, and fullerite short sword. For the most part, these weapons were identical to daggers of the same material, but weighed slightly more. The Deep Jungle patch removed short swords from the game, leaving daggers as the primary short blade weapons.
