- Remember Range: A long sword is longer. Adjust your range accordingly. A few inches may not seem like much, but it makes a big difference.

- It’s a long, not a short: A long sword does not lend itself to the same style as a short sword. You can’t fight the same way with either sword.
- Keep your opponent back: Maintain a good distance from your opponent. Keep your sword free and pointed at your opponent. If they move in, retreat or threaten them.
- Snipes: The moment someone enters your range, float your tip forward quickly for a strike. Don’t engage with the sword or address their blade. Don’t blow their brains out.
- Compensate for the weight: Long swords tend to be heavier than short swords. Your arm will get tired faster, so learn to hold your sword down low or up high to give your arm a break.
- Fighting against a long sword: Take control of their blade and then close range quickly. If they close distance on you, use a block/attack combo.
Training Ideas
- Practice the new range: Strike an inanimate stationary target until you understand the range of a long sword and how to properly gauge your shot.
- Work your arm out: Work out your arm so you can carry the weight of a long sword easier. Practice writing your name with the tip of your sword at full extension while maintaining the weight of the blade in your back.
- Keep them back: At half speed, work with a partner to determine long sword range as you both move in and out. Practice sniping, slowly.
