Plasmaswords cannot be crafted, instead they can only be [[trade|purchased]] from [[Outlander]] and [[Empire]] combat suppliers and [[faction base]]s, or received as a quest reward.

Plasmaswords cannot be crafted. They can instead be [[Trade|purchased]] from combat suppliers, war merchants, or at [[Empire]] settlements, obtained as a [[quest]] reward, or found on Empire [[Empire#Champion|champion]]s and [[Empire#Yeoman|nobles]] of Yeoman rank or above.

Plasmaswords perform largely the same as any other melee weapon, with one primary difference. When performing the [[Damage Types#Cut|Cut]] and [[Damage Types#Stab|Stab]] attacks, a successful strike has a 50% chance to do an extra 10 [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage. As with all Flame damage, this damage has no AP and if it successfully damages the target, there is a chance to set them on [[fire]].

{{Pyromaniac Weapon Note}}
+
Despite being an incendiary weapon, [[pyromaniac]] pawns equipped with plasmaswords will not have the {{+|5}} ''Pyromaniac has incendiary weapon'' mood buff they recieve from using [[molotov cocktails]] or [[incendiary launcher]]s. It is currently unknown whether this is intended behavior, or a bug.

−
The plasmasword will often set enemies on fire. Enemies on fire will run around wildly and are unable to fight back. This makes the plasmasword dominant in a 1v1 fight, or in any melee fight out in the open. However, the fire can end up being a major drawback. Enemies on fire will ignore ''collision'', meaning that they will run right past a [[defense tactics#Melee blocking|melee block]], end up behind your colonists, attack from the back, and ruin your formation.
+
As the Plasmasword can set enemies on fire, it makes a powerful weapon against non-mechanoid enemies in the game. 1v1 fights generally tilt in favor of the plasmasword wielder since setting enemies on fire can prevent them from fighting back.

[[Mechanoid]]s are completely immune to fire or heat, so other ultratech weapons or even a [[plasteel]] [[longsword]] are superior in those situations. In addition, outlanders and pirates will often carry [[firefoam pop pack]]s. Firefoam packs will activate when its user is set on fire, immediately extinguishing them.  Any pawn inside the leftover [[firefoam]] is immune to ignition.

If you have the option, buying any of the other ultratech melee weapons tends to be more ''generally'' useful.
