Irons are weapons in Let it Die. Irons are unique among early-game weapons, having two sources of damage in an odd melee/ranged hybrid attack. Half of the basic attack is the hit from the iron itself; the other half is the steam that shoots out, burning enemies and causing them to flinch. Irons also feature a parry move gained at Mastery Rank 6, as well as an enemy-blinding Rage Move. Overall, they're a surprisingly versatile weapon, able to serve as a potent tool in many different situations.

The iron is surprisingly useful weapon in most close combat cases. Its first and 2nd strikes do a good number of hits combined to help shred armor—more so with the Death Burner setting them on fire. Do be aware of its range though; just hitting with the steam/fire doesn't stun the opponent, so aim to hit with the iron itself.
The Steam Barrier, unlocked at Mastery Rank 6, is a melee attack parry that has a fast startup with a big window to parry the opponent's attack. However, you do want to aim to get the parry later in the window to help you get a counter attack. Using this parry uses up NO durability. But beware that parrying attacks from higher quality and stronger weapons will break through, so it's not as useful as it used to be.
The Rage move is a huge burst of steam/fire that stuns enemies caught in it, similar to the Frongus' effect of tear gas. It even affects some bosses!

Meijin Tip
Let Off Some Steam
You got an Iron Weapon? The Rage Move conveniently stops enemies' movement, so use that chance to get in multiple steam hits. I love this thing, and I'm sure you'll grow to. I mean, the Goretastic Attack is just like ironing your shirts!
