The downside to its thrust attacks is the lack of horizontal sweep, which isn't ideal when dealing with many enemies side ways. It has long stabbing moves that can be used to punish and poke enemies at a distance. Another perk to using the rapier is its long-ranged moveset. However, attempting to use the previous attack to hit a shield might leave the user vulnerable after the attack is deflected. As any pierce-based weapon, it can be used to poke safely from behind a shield (attacking and blocking at the same time) but at the cost of reduced damage. Rapier is a dexterity-based weapon it has high dexterity damage bonus (B scaling for dexterity).
Also effective when fighting in narrow spaces.
Use quick thrusts to damage hard-skinned foes.
