Best Boarding Weapons in Bannerlord (War Sails): 1H Swords & Axes (Stats)
War Sails adds naval warfare and explicitly mentions new weapons and gear (spears, swords, axes, shields, armor) to fit that style of combat. Boarding fights are tight, fast, and brutal — you want weapons that work in cramped spaces. TaleWorlds Entertainment+1
We’ll focus on one-handed swords and axes, because they pair with shields and don’t suffer polearm reach penalties. Mount & Blade Wiki
Why axes are insane on decks
One-handed axes deal Cut damage and bonus damage against shields — perfect for cracking shield walls at boarding points. Mount & Blade Wiki
