Queen's Domain weapons and damage types: slash, impact and pierce

Quick answer

Open the Bestiary: each enemy's entry lists its Slash, Impact and Pierce defences, so swap to a weapon of the type it is weak to. The early weapons give you each kind, and the Azure Torch adds blue flame with a charged fireball.

Before you start

  • Kingy has played only the opening (to the first Crystal Monument), not this part of the game. This comes from creator footage we checked frame by frame; stats on screen are from the creators' saves.

Read the Bestiary

The Bestiary shows each enemy you have met with its Defenses (Slash, Impact, Pierce) and its Drops. In Gamer Guides' footage a red spotted bug is weak to slash, normal to impact and resists pierce, and drops Dried Herbs.

Our own entry for the Ratty Bug, the first enemy we met, reads the same: weak to Slash, normal to Impact, resists Pierce, with 35 life, Attack Power 10 and 26 EXP. Its Drops panel still shows ??? after one kill, and that one entry put our completion rate at 0.5%.

Switch weapons to match

Your first weapons cover the three types: a Gamer Social Club inventory shows the Rusted Short Sword, Rusted Spear, Wooden Club and Throwing Dagger, and its captions call the club your first impact weapon. Gamer Guides fights a Skeletal Executioner with a sword, the Azure Torch and a spiked mace in turn.

  1. Fight with a weapon of the type the enemy is weak to, and swap your main-hand weapon when it isn't working.

    Try a different main-hand weapon on the same enemy: sword, torch, then mace.

The Azure Torch's charged attack

Gamer Social Club describes the Azure Torch as flame damage with damage over time. Its secondary attack throws a ball of blue flame that bounces until it hits an enemy, and has to charge first. In the footage, two small icons show beside the health bars while the torch is held.

  1. Wait for the torch to charge, then use its secondary attack to throw blue flame at enemies.

Queen's Domain – 10 Essential Tips & Tricks For BEFORE You Play (Gamer Guides, YouTube) ↗7:06, uploaded the day before launch, so pre-release footage; the description mentions affiliate links. Frames checked November 2: a Skeletal Executioner fought with a sword, the Azure Torch and a mace in turn, and a Bestiary entry listing Slash, Impact and Pierce defences.Walkthrough ·
Queen's Domain Guide - Part 1 (Gamer Social Club, YouTube) ↗10:49, launch day, before 1.01.01. Frames checked November 2: Rusted Spear, Dagger Belt, Wooden Club, Endu Shrine Gate Key, Life Charm, the Shrine Guardian fight, and the Holy Sword of Endu with the Flying Sword trophy. Its description lists a Wind Gem that the frames don't show. Re-checked November 4 against Kingy's own route: around 0:31 the creator walks past the orange bug on the plateau above the first monument, and around 0:52 the Rusted Spear chest sits past the round tower, down a slope and through a meadow with a centipede.Walkthrough ·
Kingy test run: Queen's Domain on PC, new game to the Ratty Bug ↗Kingy's own two sessions on Curtis's Steam copy, Windows 11, November 4, 2026 (PC local time): Steam build 26356968, title screen Version 1.01.03, windowed 1920x1080, keyboard and mouse, English. Covered the Options screens and all three pages of key bindings, a new game from the beach (no weapon, empty inventory), the Knight's Encampment, Commander Ekonta's dialogue and the Rusted Short Sword (Power 7, Slash, Average), equipping it from Status & Inventory, breaking the barricade with a charged attack after three quick slashes failed, the Knight's Encampment Crystal Monument (Save, Rest, Leave; Rest took life from 50 to 100), the Quit To Title never-saved warning, deep-water damage, and three deaths to the Ratty Bug on the plateau above the monument, each reloaded with Continue. Two more recordings later on November 4, 2026 (PC local time, same build): sprinting past the Ratty Bug (it followed us to the sea cliff and killed us), then two fights played with Kingy’s own screen-reading input helper (charged attacks with a step back): the first got its bar down to a sliver as we died in the same second (the Game Over reload undid it), the second killed it, unlocking its Bestiary entry (35 life, Attack Power 10, 26 EXP, weak to Slash, normal to Impact, resists Pierce) and leaving Total EXP 26, EXP to next 334, life 50/100. A clay pot near the monument broke with no visible drop. Not covered: anything past that plateau, the first weapons beyond the sword, a controller, Steam Deck and consoles. Silent clips and stills were recorded from the game window. We turned Look Acceleration and Mouse Look off in the first session and Pause When Unfocused off in the second; earlier values were not captured, and no binding was changed.Walkthrough ·
Queen's Domain - Azure Torch Weapon Location Guide (Gamer Social Club, YouTube) ↗1:39. Frames checked November 2: the torch picked up at a gargoyle statue beside a wooden door, then its charged secondary attack. The description says the torch is needed to reach the Tower of Knowledge.Walkthrough ·
