Sheev Palpatine Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Could a Shardblade/Shardplate block a Lightsaber? I know that certain metals can block lightsabers but i was wondering if a shardblade/plate could as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Steel Inquisitive Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Quote Questioner IF they were to fight with a lightsaber and a Shardblade, which would be able to cut through the other? Brandon Sanderson Depends on who’s world you're in, that's what I would say. Is Lucas writing it or am I? Questioner Well say you are writing it, since we're-- Brandon Sanderson If I'm writing it I say they bounce off of each other. I don't know about plate though:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Weltall Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I imagine that if in Brandon's head a Shardblade and a lightsaber block each other without the one damaging the other, that a lightsaber would have the same effect on Plate as a Shardblade does: It'll damage and eventually destroy sections of the Plate with repeated hits but it won't cut through it.

I know that certain metals can block lightsabers but i was wondering if a shardblade/plate could as well. Aha a question for which my expertise is called! A lightsaber is a beam of ionized plasma contained in a force field. We have seen shardplate block energy attacks(Adolin on the shattered plains). This indicates that plate can resist the kind of damage that a saber can do and so most likely would be able to survive a number of hits before cracking. Against a shardblade would actually be much more dangerous as neither party could parry the other. Shardblades can go directly through what is in state of matter closer to a liquid but the saber would not be damaged by the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GoWibble Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think that Brandon basically equates the energy to a form of Investiture. I mean mass is energy, so Investiture is energy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
