"A legendary sword that has a beautiful design, unique and lethal upper slash. Holding and releasing the right-click mouse button will do a heavy slash."
- in-game description


Xuan Yuan Sword is a Chinese melee weapon featured in CrossFire.

Overview[]

Xuan-Yuan Sword was wielded by the Yellow Emperor of ancient China to defend the ancient Chinese against the warlord Chi You and his aggressive subjects. After Chi You's defeat, this Sword was passed from generation to generation until now.

Being a Chinese made weapon, the Xuan Yuan Sword is unique in that it's only held by one hand, and features a unique draw animation. The primary attack is similar to Katana, while the secondary attack has player characters pull the sword back and rest their left hand on it, then execute an upward heavy slash similar to BC-Axe Rusty - this attack can be held back like with the Katana, but at the same time the player's movement speed will be reduced.

Since it is a sword, it has a similar range to the Katana. This means it has a slightly longer reach than Field Shovel and Bladed Knuckles. Its primary attack also kills in two slashes to either the body or head.

Being an Anti-Zombie Weapon, the Xuan Yuan Sword features special effect when used in Zombie Mode - it has extra heavy strike executed by click RMB then hold it for another sweep (Like BC-Axe Beast). Moreover, similar to M4A1-S Born Beast, when inflicting damage toward zombies or bosses by this attack, there will be chances to get critical hit (shown as small blasts) or heal 1 HP for every successful zombie hit / kill for the owner. This attack can be executed even after releasing RMB, as long as you re-click then hold RMB before the stab is finished then you will get a second attack ready. Uniquely, this attack has a unique range that it is capable of damaging / killing any zombies nearby players, even if the zombies are behind them, which is very useful if the players are surrounded by the hordes.

Advantages[]

  • Very high damage on heavy strike.
  • Long attack range.
  • Attacks ignore AC points.
  • Instant refill charging bar. (PvE only)
  • Capable of damaging / killing any nearby zombies, even at behind. (PvE only)

Disadvantages[]

  • Slow primary attack.
  • Secondary attack requires time to execute.
  • Average damage on slashing.
  • Long recovery time after the heavy strike.
  • Reduced movement speed when prepared.

Tips & Tricks[]

  • This weapon has some useful techniques in older maps of Challenge Mode.
    • In Crater, Venice, Secret Valley, Valkyrie Lab, BL Camp, and Dinner Theater. Its heavy strike mode gives a big punch to this weapon.
    • By holding RMB, then release it. After releasing it, quickly hold it again for its stance to halt.
    • Activate Berserk mode for powerful damage. It's very useful against bosses, as it will drain bosses' health very fast when aiming at their heads.
    • Every hit / kill will either gives owner 1 HP or create critical hit on zombies. As such, try to kill many weak zombies (ex: Undead, Sprinter, etc.) with its heavy strike mode to heal the player's health significantly.
    • It also should be noted that this attack can even attack the zombies behind you or on your left / right side.

Trivia[]

  • This weapon is based on a Chinese role-playing video game made by DOMO Studio.
    • It might also be based on a Chinese television series based on that game.
    • To avoid copyright issues, the weapon in CF China is named 破天斩魔剑 (Devil Sword) instead of its original name 轩辕剑 (Xuan Yuan Sword).
  • During beta test, Xuan Yuan Sword shares animation with the Katana, but later this was changed and it has unique animation instead. Presumably, this is because the sword was not obtainable before this, and the new animation would justify its price in the Mileage Shop, encouraging people to farm for it. Also, Xuan Yuan Sword had different sound effects as well, including draw animation, slashing sound, and hit sound. But when the new animation was updated, it has been changed with new sound effects too.
  • Xuan Yuan Sword was supposed to be added to CF Vietnam at Sep 2016 patch, but it was dropped for an unknown reason. Only its BagIcon is present (with translated weapon name), but interestingly, the skin is not normal, but rather similar to those on Ultimate Goldsmith Series. It's possible that this weapon is planned to have a re-skin, but didn't make it to the patch on time so it was dropped.
    • After few patches, finally this sword is updated but VTC decided to change the original Chinese name to Vietnamese: Thuận Thiên Kiếm.
    • After one update, its Bag Icon has changed to the original Bag Icon.
