Fast attacks and great mobility
The Sword and Shield has fast attacks and lets you move at normal speed with the weapon drawn, and the shield in the right hand lets you guard as well. It is the only weapon that can use items while drawn. Even a short opening is enough for two or three slashes, and you can go straight into a dodge or a guard. Its attacks leave you open only briefly, so even new players find it easy to avoid monster attacks. That makes it the best weapon for the early game. Its single hits are weak, though, so killing a monster can take too long. The better you want to use it, the faster and more precise your inputs need to be, so there is a lot of depth to it.
