Sword Fights on the Heights (series)

Sword Fights on the Heights, commonly abbreviated as SFOTH, is a Melee combat game built by Roblox Staff Member and Administrator Telamon. It is one of the older games on Roblox, and is considered a classic.

=Basic Synopsis= The goal is to amass the most KOs while avoiding getting killed. To make the game more challenging, there are several obstacles such as wobbly plates, disappearing tiles, and "tightrope" bricks that have a tendancy to get in your way.

The game is centered around large, tall floating islands that float around the level, and paths (normally a "tightrope" or an obstacle) connect the islands with problems to conquer (eg.disappearing platforms, online opponents,ex). Swords can be found across the map. There are other objects to help you along the way, as well. This game combines sword fighting with agility. =SFoTH Versions=

SFOTH Original
Sword Fight on the Heights Original (often abbreviated SFOTHO, or just SFOTH) is known as the first place on Roblox for sword fighting only. It did not have the variety of swords most players are used to, and was only partially built. This version is still available for play, but is no longer supported by Telamon.

SFOTH IV
Sword Fights on the Heights IV is the current version of the game, and the most popular. For unknown reasons, SFOTHs II and III were not built, but skipped directly to IV. SFOTH IV features many more swords and powerup weapons, and is on an expanded map of the Original SFOTH.

Weapon List
This is a list of the current weapons and powerups in SFOTH IV.

Weapons

 * Regular Sword
 * This is the sword everyone spawns with, and the only object in the Starterpack. This cannot be obtained ingame by any other means.
 * Ghostwalker
 * This weapon is a semi-transparent sword that lessens one's gravity, allowing a "ghost-like" movement. When this sword is active, the holder is transparent as well, and every kill with this sword increases one's transparency, and lessens their gravity even further.
 * Venomshank
 * The Venomshank is a large green sword, that infects players when they are hit with it. A poisoned player will slowly lose health for a time, unless they use a medkit or healthpad to heal themselves.
 * Firebrand
 * This sword looks similar to the Venomshank, except for the fact that it is red. Generally, this sword is valued for its large damage, and the fact that a Firebrand makes any ice dagger useless against it.
 * Ice Dagger
 * A very influential weapon, the Ice Dagger is a small, blue sword. If kept active for a few seconds, the sword will change to a dark blue color and gain the ability to instantly kill other players, unless they have a Firebrand active.
 * Illumina
 * This sword is a regular sword with total relfectance. This sword will allow the holder to see invisible opponents, as it makes anything invisible sparkle, including users with Ghostwalkers and Shadow Orbs.
 * Windforce
 * The Windforce is almost the exact same in appearance to the Illumina, but this sword has the ability to fling opponents back a distance when attacked. This weapon can be especially useful in SFOTH, as falling out is a common occurrence with the small land area.
 * Darkheart
 * The Darkheart is a black sword, with massive damage and the ability to "steal" others' health, as the holder gains the exact amount of health it takes from others.

Powerups

 * Jetboots
 * The Jetboots, which look like Jetboots and are found on top of a tall pillar, allow a player to fly for a short amount of time.
 * Shadow Orb
 * The Shadow Orb is a black, semi-transparent sphere that temporally renders the user completely transparent. This effect is negated by the Illumina.
 * Forcefeild
 * The Forcefeild is a small purple sphere that generates a temporary forcefeild around a player.
 * Medkit
 * The Medkit, also called Medpack, is a small white block with a red cross on it, and restores a player's health to full when used.
 * Battle Armor
 * Battle Armor Blocks are shiny bricks in the shape of torsos that are found throughout the map. They increase a players maximum health to 150.
