Close Range

A rapier is a poor choice of weapon for a horseback warrior as it is primarily a thrusting weapon and when your charging towards your opponent on horseback it's easy to miss a thrust. The Broadsword is more versatile in this regard and even if the battle ends up as a one on one swordfight on foot it's much sturdier and has more power behind it's strikes than the Rapier.

Edge: Highlander
