Rude Sword

Rude Sword (JP: ルードソード) is an unused spell in Deltarune. It costs 50% TP. It is an attack that does moderately more damage than the standard FIGHT action but less than Rude Buster.

As of Chapter 4, this can deal a maximum of 280 damage if the user is Susie with the JusticeAxe, PowerBand, and a second PowerBand equipped, or 190 damage if the user is Ralsei with the PuppetScarf, PowerBand, and a second PowerBand equipped (without stat bonuses from defeating enemies).

The message for using Rude Sword says the user cast Rude Buster instead of Rude Sword. When using this spell, the user does a purple slash at the targeted enemy.

Mechanics

Despite what its description states, Rude Sword deals damage based on the user's Attack, with Magic having no effect on the damage, instead it uses the following formula:

$(A t t a c k \times 10 - T a r g e t D e f e n s e \times 3)$ ^[1]
