What weapon and fighting style do each of the characters use?

[Eidolon]

Hey everyone! Just bought the game during the summer sale and I'm loving it thus far, definitively worth the investment even if it's still clearly in early access.

The one thing I was a bit disappointed by, though, was finding that nowhere in the game does it detail what weapon the characters are fighting with — not as far as I've been able to find, at least. Does anyone known if a comprehensive list exists and if so, where I can find it? I'm a big fan of martial arts, but I've never studied HEMA and I'd love to learn some more. Thanks in advance!

Weapons:
Gedeon - weapon: polish karabela-type sabre . XVII c.
Jacek - weapon: polish-hungarian sabre, circa half of XVII c., military variant
Barabasz - weapon: probably polish dragoon/cossack sabre, XVII c.
Isabella - weapon: long sword
Laszlo - weapon: classic hungarian sabre, XVI-XVII c.
Marie - weapon: rapier, can't say anything about this particular one.
Kalkstein - schiavona-type basket hilted broadsword, can't say what local variant it is.

still WiP

Alexander Dynis - nimcha, circa XVI-XVII century, Algieria

about styles I am not as well educated as some HEMA guys here (who can provide you saurces), but Gedeon clearly uses interpretation of polish cross-fencing.

Thank you very much for the information!

This game definitely needs a wiki.

I guess someone already started one :

Gedeon seems to be a strange case, most times he wields definitely karabela type sabre, but sometimes I see he is holding sabre simmilar to that of Barabasz, with a sabre bow made of chain. Edit: right now I am not even sure if it's really karabela anymore. The crossguard on some of my screenshots looks sometimes like karabela and hilt can be seen as almost "birdheaded" like here https://i.imgur.com/xzJXaHn.png, but on other screenshots crossguard looks straight, like in polish-hungarian sabre. I will try to catch a screenshot that will definitely tells us what type of sabre Gedeon have. Edit 2: after watching Gedeon I concluded I was probably right - it is indeed karabela. I was unable to catch a full screenshot of hilt to determine if the hilt itself is "nailed", as karabelas tend to have nails on the hilts - maybe someone who catch one with sabre on the floor can tell this.

Ok, finally i menaged to catch a good wiev on the hilt and... damnit, I don't know what I am watching anymore. Hilt looks like turkish kilic or hungarian, does not look like karabela at all, crossguard looks both karabela AND polish-hungarian AND a freaking kilic. No nailings on hilt visible, it all looks flat. So it is probably NOT karabela. My guess it's some sort of polish-hungarian I am not familiar with. Looks like you must ask Kubold if you want to be 100% sure what freak is this. https://i.imgur.com/n3RiSDF.png

Ok, guy from wykop.pl said Gedeon's sabre might be chechuga, or so-called "armenian sabre" in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with hilt so simmilar to karabela that it was sometimes called "armenian karabela". Thanks a lot for help, buddy.

Isabella uses a weird hybrid of various german styles and Fiore.

Kalkstein i cant quite figure out, looks like a mix of Meyer and Bolognese styles.

I feel it would be limited to only use Fiore or only use German style.

That's actually kind of the way we've been learning longsword in my club. German style for the basics (itself a mix of Lichtenauer and Talhofer) and we later introduced Fiore techniques.

I learn the reverse way. Fiore as a base, and german stuff to fill in missing gaps. Now im with another club learning mostly Bolognese sources, so i tend to use a longsword like a spadone at times.

Yeah but the issue was the devs wanted Isabella to be a Fiorist but the person doing the mocap did a mix of both so a lot of her guards ended up being the german versions. So they just changed Isabella to just being a hybrid style longsworder.

In that case I feel like Isabella definitely needs a to have a more specific style and more longsword characters should be included. There are four different sabre styles, there's definitely room for two longswords.

Yeah, id love to see Marozzo spadone or a proper Fiorist or Vadi.
