An épée is a type of sword used in fencing, known for its heavier blade and larger guard compared to the foil. It is primarily used for thrusting, and in épée fencing, the entire body is a valid target, meaning touches to any part of the opponent's body count for points. The blade is stiff and has a larger tip, making it harder to maneuver than a foil, but allowing for more forceful strikes. Fencing with an épée requires precision, strategy, and careful timing, with points awarded for touches made with the tip of the blade.
