a little bit of truth in that trope. all thrusting weapons damage scale somewhat with speed. (swung weapons technicaly as well but with swing speed)
Aaaaaaaaactually, you have 3 major types of weapons,
Pierce - like spears, arrows and rapiers (and bullet) - they rely on speed and very small contact point (tip), in order to create a hole. These are great all purpose but with smaller one time damage, usually takes longer to die from bleeding, but faster if you hit a vital organ like the brain, heart or lungs, or debilitate if you hit major joints like knees.
Slash - like swords and daggers - rely on finesse and the slashing motion in order to create a slash wound - they rely on motion along the blade - these are great vs unarmored they case massive bleeding wounds or even sever organs and can cause defeat after a single strike.
Blunt - like maces, flails, and axes - rely on brute strength and the crushing effect of force on the target usually causing internal damage - these are great vs armor.
Axes are mostly considered blunt weapon where the strength of the blow on a thin line will crush the joints of plate or scale armor.
Then you have multi-purpose weapons like halberds, that are designed for strength and finesse. They can also be used as blunt or as slash weapons or even pierce weapons depending on the purpose of the attack or the target in question.
For instance the halberds were designed against cavelery, as they had and hook, spear and axe parts of their heads.
Hook to drag the rider off the horse, axe to bluntly destroy the joints and spear to pierce for the killing blow.
This was a favorite main weapon in many battles.
PS one handed swords were rarely used as a main weapon, and were carried as a secondary, since the invention of the mail-armor they were extremely ineffective in the west.
in the east its a different story, as Katanas are very different, but still useless against armor.
Returning to the succubus case, none of these will really matter, as she'd probably mess with your head (both of them
) way before hand, and she'll make you forget you ever wanted to do anything but fuck her, on touch she got you, as one of their abilities is to make your hand stick to their skin and you'll not be able to let go.
If someone throws you at her she'd probably just move / dodge out of the way.
again brute force will never work against them - not by itself at any rate
