Basically but unlike the other swords Demo has to deal with a risk/reward with melee. For instance the Kunai goes for heavies and medics because they will not only consistently be together but will result in high HP, but in melee fights that's a risk/reward mechanic because fighting a heavy, pyro, soldier or other demo in close range is going to be extremely risky as they can kill you very quickly

yea flamethrowers and mini-guns would decimate this, and it would work nicely with the forgotten king cosmetic set.

Kinda the point. It's very risky but also very rewarding

Say a pyro does about 98-110 damage/second. As demoknight with this weapon, your 200 health is now reduced by 112.7 to 126.5. In a second.

However, once you start snowballing, this can be offset, but in order to snow ball to begin with, you would need to not get hit by a soldier, sniper, demoman, pyro, heavy, engineer, scout or spy who are all trying to kill you and who all have increased damage against you due to the ranged vulnerability.

thinking about it now this would be kinda busted in medieval mode with that melee defense as the only ranged weapons are the crusaders crossbow and the huntsman skins.
