The scimitar is one of the fifteen sword types in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. On subscription oceans, the scimitar may only be used by subscribers.

It is often considered one of the more powerful swords. When attacks from this sword land on uneven blocks, the straight lines of one colour break up and can cause problems for the receiver.

While the scimitar excells at large strikes, the scimitar does have some problems with attacking the center. The sprinkles in columns 3 and 4 are both monochromatic and the scimitar cannot introduce new colors into these columns without strikes. While vertical sword strikes can fall into column three, getting a sword to fall into column four is difficult. The only other way the scimitar can introduce new colors into columns 3 and 4 is with horizontal strikes.
