?? SWORDS
A fun side-goal in this game is the collection of swords.
There are over 40 different swords in this game to collect from, and
you acquire them by defeating enemies and keeping their swords once the
original sword owners are no more.
You can carry up to 3 swords during the game, and together with one
extra sword you can give to the swordsmith to keep in the Sword
Treasury in advance, that's a total of 4 swords you can add to your
collection each time you clear the game.
With swords collected in the Sword Treasury, you can choose two swords
of your liking to bring with you from your collection before you start
a new game.
However, if you get yourself killed, resulting in a Game Over, the
swords in your possession at the time of your death will be lost.
The swords already in your Sword Treasury will remain, only the swords
you are carrying within the current game will be lost.
SWORD HARDNESS
Sword Hardness, or sword durability, whichever way you prefer to think
of it, is the amount of punishment your sword is capable of enduring.
The higher the Sword Hardness (the longer the sword durability bar at
the bottom of the screen), the more punishment your sword can endure.
Your sword gets tired as you attack and as your attacks get blocked by
the enemies, and each time the red fatigue element exceeds the grey
endurance area, your Sword Hardness gets decreased by 1.
The red fatigue of your sword can be slowly recovered by resting the
sword and not causing it any more stress.
Once your Sword Hardness is depleted to 0, your sword is completely
shattered, and will no longer inflict damage even if you successfully
hit the enemies.
You add/recover Sword Hardness by going to the Swordsmith at the
???{??.
Shattered swords are no longer mendable.
You can also change other statuses of your swords (HP Adjustment,
Attack Adjustment, Defense Adjustment) at the Swordsmith's, but the
upper limit each time is a 50% change.

RANDOM SWORDS
* Not all sword pronunciations are absolute, if you know a sword is
mistakenly pronounced, please email me and correct me. Thank you.
** Random swords acquired from random enemies have initial statuses
that are random, two of the same swords may have completely different
statuses. So check the swords in your Sword Menu to make sure what the
actual statuses of the swords you got are in order to decide which
swords to keep.
