Swords

Swords is an skill that adds various abilities to make fighting with a sword more effective. Most of these circle around the default ability, Bleed, and buffing it.

XP Gain

Experience is gained through hitting mobs or players with a sword. Based off server configuration, different sword materials can give different bonuses to the exp gained by hitting a mob, with a gold sword giving the most (1.5* exp) by default.

Default Ability

Bleed

This ability is usable by everyone regardless of player's level. By default this should max out at the highest swords level; 1000. This will grant a 33% chance of inflicting Bleed on a player. This ability has a few distinctions from the original McMMO that should be noted. First of all, Bleed by default is incapable of dealing the finishing blow to an entity. The config by default is set so Bleed will not inflict damage after the user is at 2 hearts or below. The next distinction is a cap to how many players can be affected by Bleed. While any number of mobs can be afflicted at once by Bleed, a player can only inflict Bleed on two other players at once by default. This is in an effort to prevent exploitation of the Vampire ability and creating a spam click for regen meta, since Vampire only works on players. Bleed can also be set to pierce through armour although this option should only be used for OP servers since with Bleed+, this can be very over powered. The final distinction is that by default, players afflicted by Bleed will have an immunity from being affected by it again for 5 seconds. This can be enabled, disabled, as well as have the duration changed in the configuration. This ability's activation rate is not based off of damage, meaning it is viable to spam click in order to inflict a player with Bleed very quickly.

Passive Unlocked Abilities

Bleed+

Bleed+ is a Bleed modifier that increases the amount of damage dealt by the default ability. This ability does not have a 100% activation rate, instead it starts at a base 10% chance capping at a 25% chance with a default configuration. The ability by default deals an extra half heart of damage which can be changed in the configuration.

Tier	Unlock Level	Activation Chance	Bleed Damage Buff
I	50	30%	1
II	125	40%	1
III	250	50%	1
IV	375	75.5%	1
V	500	100%	1

Deeper Wound

Deeper Wound is a Bleed modifier that increases the duration of the Bleed affect. This ability is one of the most powerful modifiers, however it does not boast a 100% activation rate. Every tier upgrade will upgrade the activation rate and/or the duration boost. By default, a Tier I Deeper Wound has a 33.3% chance of giving 2 extra seconds to Bleed. At the max tier, this has a 60% chance of extending the duration by 7 seconds, making it a very punishing ability when combined with Bleed+.

Tier	Unlock Level	Activation Chance	Bleed Duration Buff
I	150	33.3%	2 seconds
II	275	40.0%	2 seconds
III	425	45.0%	3 seconds
IV	575	50.0%	5 seconds
V	700	60.0%	7 seconds

Vampire

Vampire is a Bleed modifier that restores health to the player who inflicted the Bleed status effect. The ability at the first tier has a powerful 50% activation rate capping at a 100% rate once it reaches its max tier. This will heal the user by half a heart every time an enemy player is affected by bleed. Bleed+ does not affect this ability, however Deeper Wound compliments it well, giving the player more chance at healing.

Tier	Unlock Level	Activation Chance	Health Healed
I	250	50.0%	1/2 Heart
II	400	60.0%	1/2 Heart
III	650	70.0%	1/2 Heart
IV	700	80.0%	1/2 Heart
V	850	100.0%	1/2 Heart

Active Unlocked Abilities

Rage Spike

Rage Spike is an ability that is activated by a player holding down their crouch button for the needed time to charge up the attack. After charging, the player then shoots forward, dealing damage and knockback to any other entities that are collided with. Knockback can not be configured simply due to the inaccuracy of calculating vectors due to friction and fall heights. Damage starts at 1 with a 5 second charge time at the first tier, capping at 4 damage and a 1 second charge time once max tier is reached.

Tier	Unlock Level	Charge Time	Damage	Cooldown
I	100	2.5 seconds	1	140 seconds
II	225	2.3 seconds	1	140 seconds
III	350	2.0 seconds	2	140 seconds
IV	500	1.5 seconds	3	140 seconds
V	650	1.0 second	3	140 seconds

Serrated Strikes

Bringing back a familiar ability from the original plugin, Serrated Strikes is an ability that has been slightly modified for this version. While it is activated by simply right clicking with the sword and then attacking, no longer does it do an AOE bleed affect nor extra damage. Instead it increases the chance of Bleed being activated by a sizable amount (this includes enemies hit by the sweeping effect). The ability is unlocked by default once a player's swords skill reaches level 150 with the max tier being available at level 600. Each upgrade increases the buff to activation rate as well as the duration of the ability itself. At the first tier, the ability has a mild 5% increase and lasts for 3 seconds, this would give a level 1000 player a 38% chance at inflicting Bleed. Once maxed, this ability gives a generous 20% increase and lasts for 8 seconds giving a level 1000 player a 53% chance at inflicting Bleed.

Tier	Unlock Level	Activation Boost	Duration	Cooldown
I	200	5.0%	3 seconds	120 seconds
II	350	7.5%	3 seconds	120 seconds
III	500	10.0%	5 seconds	120 seconds
IV	650	15.0%	5 seconds	120 seconds
V	800	20.0%	8 seconds	120 seconds

Tainted Blade

Tainted Blade is a new ability that is activated in the same manner as Serrated Strikes. This ability gives the user a large hunger debuff in exchange for a short buff of resistance and strength. This ability is meant for risking it all to get in the last big blow to finish the fight.

Tier	Unlock Level	Strength Duration	Resistance Duration	Hunger Duration	Cooldown
I	300	5 seconds	5 seconds	10 seconds	160 seconds
II	475	6 seconds	6 seconds	15 seconds	160 seconds
III	650	7 seconds	7 seconds	25 seconds	160 seconds
IV	825	10 seconds	10 seconds	30 seconds	160 seconds
V	1000	15 seconds	15 seconds	45 seconds	160 seconds
