⚔️ Which weapon hits harder? Swords vs blunt weapons (and axes, spears)

Compare every warrior weapon type with MapleStory Classic's real damage formula: swing and stab multipliers, mastery, crits and the strongest weapon you can use at your level.

In Classic melee weapons swing 60% and stab 40% of the time (from the game client).

ℹ️ How it's calculated

Damage = (Base 0.8–1.0 + (STR × multiplier × mastery + DEX) / 100 + Extra attack / 50) × Weapon attack × skill %. The multiplier depends on the animation: swords are always 1.8 (1H) and 2.5 (2H); blunts and axes 2.4/1.2 (1H) and 3.0/2.0 (2H) for swing/stab, so they depend on swing %. Mastery raises minimum damage: (0.1 + level/10) × 0.7.

🐢 Mind the speed: a slower weapon hits fewer times per minute. 2H weapons are usually slower than 1H; compare speed alongside damage.
