They are able to wield swords with proficiency in close combat, where they can perform both fast strikes and devastating special attacks where they utilize their robotic physiology to their fullest.

Each of the Egg Fighter: Swords wield a single large double-edged sword with a cutting chain on the edges, making their swords resemble chainsaws and ensures lethal damage to their targets.

Due to possessing a large sword, the Egg Fighter: Swords have a longer attack range and do more damage than the regular Egg Fighters. In battle, the Egg Fighter: Swords with either jump into the air and swing their swords down on the player as they fall, or launch a short, but quick dash up to the player while slashing with their sword. In the Nighttime Action Stages, the Egg Fighter: Swords can also perform a special attack where they stand on their head and hold their swords vertically up while spinning around, turning them into harmful spinning tops that will damage the player upon contact.
