Sources and community notes
- The 0.1.10 patch notes say the Reforged Dussack can now break; see Dussack Shard.
- No page-specific forum or guide coverage was found for this page; the references below are the closest general ones.
- A strategy guide says the repair does not last: after roughly enough time to clear a floor the sword breaks into two pieces, and the plain broken sword is the one worth picking up if nothing better has been found.

From the official manual
- The manual's first piece of fencing advice is to find a way to repair the broken sword and improve its range as early as possible.
