'''Bread swinging''' is a strategy designed to lower your turn count. Swinging an untrained weapon with high [[delay|base delay]], such as a [[heavy]] weapon, will take more than 10 ''[[aut]]s'', while only taking one ''[[turn]]''. HP/MP Regeneration is based on auts. Therefore, you will have more [[time]] to regenerate health, while taking the same amount of turns. Note that taking off a [[shield]] and putting it back on again will take 10 turns (of 10 aut each).

You can press the '''[[v]]''' key or '''Ctrl''' and a direction to swing your weapon at nothing. The '''insert''' key allows you to repeat an action over and over for this purpose.

This strategy has a relatively little impact on the number of turns taken, and zero impact outside of a [[speedrun]].

The name "bread swinging" is a relic of older versions, where it was possible to wield non-weapon items such as [[bread ration]]s or scrolls.

==History==
*The ability to wield non-weapon items was removed in [[0.33]], limiting "bread swinging" strategies to wielding the slowest weapon possible.
*[[Comestible|Ration]]s were removed in [[0.26]], removing bread swinging's namesake entirely.
*[[Bread ration]]s were merged to rations in [[0.21]].
