In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, longswords stand out as some of the most versatile weapons, offering a perfect blend of speed, power, and reach. If you're on the hunt for the finest blades to enhance your gameplay, here's a curated list of the top longswords you should consider wielding.
Toledo Steel Sword
Crafted from the renowned Toledo steel, this high-quality sword is a reforged version of the Hermit’s broken blade. It boasts an impressive 132 stab damage, 125 slash damage, and 25 blunt damage. With a Strength requirement of 12 and Agility of 15, it's accessible earlier than many top-tier swords. Its durability of 159 and defense of 194 make it a reliable choice for prolonged engagements. You can obtain this sword as a reward for completing "The Hermit" quest. If you opt for the blacksmith route during the Semine wedding, Blacksmith Radwan will task you with retrieving this sword from the Hermit (Ambrose) near Apollonia to forge it as a wedding gift for Oda Semine.
Balshan’s Sword
This legendary blade, once owned by Sir Jan Posy of Zimburg and gifted to his younger brother, is a force to be reckoned with. It delivers 149 stab damage, 157 slash damage, and 24 blunt damage, positioning it among the most powerful longswords available. Requiring Strength 14 and Agility 20, it's tailored for high-level swordsmen. With a defense of 225 and durability of 120, it's built to endure while slicing through foes.
Blacksmith’s Defender
This well-forged yet straightforward sword is designed for practical combat rather than showy duels. Although it doesn't match the power of other longswords, it still provides 75 stab damage, 86 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage, making it a solid mid-tier option. Requiring only Strength 7 and Agility 9, it's one of the most accessible longswords in the game. With a defense of 126 and durability of 99, it's a dependable early-game weapon.
Broad Longsword
Featuring a wider blade, this longsword offers increased durability (200) at the cost of slightly slower swings. Its damage output compensates for this with 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's suited for experienced fighters. With a defense of 246, it's designed to withstand long battles. You can purchase it from Blacksmith Zdimir in Grund or forge it using 1x Cow Skin, 1x Ordinary Sword Guard, 1x Pear Sword Pommel, 2x Iron, and 3x Frankfurt Steel.
Dry Devil’s Longsword
A finely crafted weapon, this longsword offers 157 stab damage, 150 slash damage, and 30 blunt damage, ideal for precise and swift strikes. It's a well-balanced, deadly weapon, but its creation isn't cheap due to the skill required to forge a blade that's both thin and flexible. Requiring Strength 15 and Agility 18, it's designed for skilled swordsmen who value speed and technique over brute force.
Godwin’s Longsword
This well-crafted longsword mirrors the Dry Devil’s Longsword but boasts more balanced stats, including 129 stab damage, 123 slash damage, and an impressive 73.8 blunt damage, setting it apart with its higher blunt force. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 18, it offers a defense of 220 and durability of 200, making it the strongest longsword in the game. Its high-quality craftsmanship makes it ideal for dueling rather than battlefield chaos.
Hanush’s Sword
A thin and well-balanced longsword, this blade is more suited for swordplay than all-out war. It delivers 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage, excelling in fast-paced combat. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's another choice for skilled duelists. Henry can enhance its effectiveness by sharpening Hanush’s dull sword during a specific quest.

Henry’s Longsword
Henry’s Longsword, originally forged by Henry’s father for Sir Radzig Kobyla and later stolen by Istvan Toth, is a well-balanced weapon with 149 stab damage, 142 slash damage, and 28 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 14 and Agility 17, it's an intermediate-level weapon with a defense of 220 and durability of 179, making it suitable for various combat scenarios. The reforged version, Henry’s Sword Reforged, significantly enhances its stats to 199 stab damage, 190 slash damage, and 38 blunt damage, with a defense of 299 and durability of 240. However, it demands a Strength of 20 and Agility of 23, making it a weapon for highly skilled swordsmen.
Kuttenberg Longsword

Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's meant for skilled fighters and is one of the finest-crafted weapons available.
Lord Capon’s Longsword
