The electric sword is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack: The Next Generation and SlashTHEM. It uses the long sword skill, and is made of iron—despite its name, it does not always deal shock damage.
In both NetHack: The Next Generation and SlashTHEM, the electric sword is the base item for the artifact Shocker.
Generation
Geeks in NetHack: The Next Generation and Hackers in SlashTHEM start the game with a blessed +1 electric sword.
Description
The electric sword has +2 to-hit, and deals 1d12 damage versus small monsters and 1d16 against large monsters.
In SlashTHEM, a non-artifact electric sword has a 1⁄10 chance of "sparking to life" and dealing +d3 shock damage against monsters without shock resistance.
Strategy
The electric sword is a stellar weapon for roles capable of using long swords, with damage that eclipses even the katana, but it is incredibly rare to find outside of playing as a Geek/Hacker or possibly encountering their bones. Any role that finds an electric sword and opts to make it their main weapon should rustproof it as soon as possible
