    wait what does the curvy sword exactly do? idk if I’m overthinking it but the shield wins in this scenario or something?

      The koresh but also other weapons with protudy bits can hook a shield. It can also penetrate the shield in a sense by going around the shield more easily. When someone hits the shield on the edge the shield can get pushed out of the way. You need less of that if the weapon curves around a bit.

      The koresh iirc was more of an axe than a sword so there is a lot of momentum in the strike.

      The curves are so sexy it makes your dick/nipples hard, resulting in worse manipulation with the shield, thus harder to dodge attacks.
