==Useful Info==
'''Dancing weapons''' are [[weapon]]s animated into life, fast enemies that hit relatively hard. While they have pathetic HP, they have high [[EV]] and a wide array of resistances, making them annoying to fight. Be aware that their stats vary based on the weapon type; dancing [[dagger]]s are much less of a threat than dancing [[giant spiked club]]s. Dancing weapons can have [[enchant]]ment and [[brand]]s, which work as normal.

Instead of leaving [[corpse]]s, dancing weapons simply become their base weapons when killed (unless they were [[summon]]ed). Unless the weapon was animated by [[Tukima's Dance]], [[Gozag]] turns these weapons into gold.

Friendly weapons can appear via:
*[[Tukima's Dance]]
*[[Xom]] action

Hostile weapons can appear via:
*Wandering the [[Elven Halls]] (especially in the Hall of Blades on Elf:2)
*[[Zenata]]'s [[Sheza's Dance]] spell
*In [[Tukima's Studio]]
*[[Xom]] action
*[[Beogh]]'s and [[Wu Jian]]'s wrath.

Dancing [[Ranged Weapons]] may appear, but only in certain [[vault]]s or as a result of Tukima's Dance.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Spells that deal non-elemental damage, such as [[Airstrike]], [[Stone Arrow]], or [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]], are very effective against dancing weapons.
*Dancing weapons also lack [[see invisible]], so [[stabbing]] specialists with access to [[invisibility]] should have an easy time with them.
*In console, dancing weapons are distinguishable at a glance from normal melee weapons since they are "reversed": dancing weapons are represented by {{Black|(}}, while normal weapons are represented by {{Black|)}}.

==History==
*In [[0.27]], ranged dancing weapons were added.
