'''Basic Trope''': Wooden practice swords are just as effective, or even more effective, than the real thing.
* '''Straight''':
** Alice gets into a duel against Bob. While he has a katana, she only has a bokken, but after an roughly even fight, Alice manages to win.
** Alice and Bob, who are armed with a bokken and a katana respectively, fend off a swarm of monsters. Bob struggles a lot more than Alice throughout the entire fight.
* '''Exaggerated''': A full team of {{Mooks}} with swords, bows and spears goes after Alice. She effortlessly takes them out with a wooden ''knife''.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice struggles slightly more than Bob throughout the duel, but manages to fight him to a draw in the end.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice has much greater skill and experience than Bob, offsetting any disadvantage in weapons.
** Neither duelist wants to kill the other, so Alice has the advantage due to having a weapon that's easier to use non-lethally.
** The monsters have a supernatural weakness to wood, but are otherwise resistant to most weapons.
** The monsters are wearing armor that offers good protection against blades, but is very vulnerable to blunt weapons.
* '''Inverted''': Wooden swords are ineffective, but real swords are ''even more'' ineffective.
* '''Subverted''': Bob initially flinched when Alice pulled out a wooden sword, but that was only because he mistook it for a big club. He corners her easily when the duel actually begins.

* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Practice swords are completely ineffective in some fights, but completely outclass real weapons in others.

** Practice weapons are only ever used for their intended purpose: training.
