The falchion is a heavy, curved blade designed for powerful, sweeping strikes. In Cosmic Odyssey, it excels in burst damage against unarmored or lightly armored opponents, dealing slightly higher damage in these cases. Against medium and heavy armor, its effectiveness is reduced, reflecting the difficulty of cutting through reinforced protection. The weapon is favored by those who rely on raw force and calculated misdirection, making it a natural fit for Power Attack and Feint Attack tactics. Its distinctive shape allows for deceptive movements that exploit openings and deliver punishing blows with brutal efficiency.

Often used by shock troops, frontier fighters, and duelists, the falchion is ideal in fast-paced combat where ending a fight quickly is more valuable than wearing an opponent down. Its momentum-driven design makes it especially effective in ambushes and close-quarter engagements, where it can exploit gaps in armor or strike before defenses are fully raised. While it may falter against the heaviest armors, in the hands of a skilled user, the falchion remains a terrifying weapon of precision and force.
