Sword sound effects, from the scrape of a blade leaving its sheath to steel ringing off steel. Swings that cut the air and hits that land on shields. Real swordsmen duelling for the realistic stuff, and stylised anime blades for the rest. Gore too, for when it gets messy.

Swords ring on screen, and real ones ring far less. A blade-on-blade hit in a real duel is shorter and more of a clack, with the ring coming from blades sliding against each other. The historical recordings here capture that honestly, with trained swordsmen fighting properly and several mics on the action. Most games and films still want the cinematic version, though, and the melee libraries deliver it: big swings, clean clashes, scrapes and sheathing, with gore layered in for the hits that land. A good sword fight mixes both. Use real clashes for weight and add a designed ring on the big moments. A Shield block gives the fight its pace, and a Dagger or an Axe can join in for variety.
