Drop pattern

The drop pattern of a sword determines how attacks made with it are sent to the opponent.

Sprinkles
The bottom two rows of the attack are used for placement of sprinkles. If the bottom two rows are the same (such as the foil and the stick) the arrangement of the sprinkles sent to the other side will be the same.

If signficant amounts of sprinkles are sent as an attack, this pattern is repeated layer upon layer. The best sprinkle swords have the bottom two rows with disjoint colors such as the skull dagger.

Left/Right handed
If the hilt of the sword (first color in the combination) is made with blue, green, or purple enamel the sword will be flipped.
