Should I use remote event for swords?

I’m currently working on a sword. How should I set up the code?
Should I use animations and debounce on the client and send a remote event to the server?
like this:
Client:

local Debounce = true
sword.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if player then
		if Debounce == true then
			Debounce = false
			RemoteEvent:FireServer(player, sword)
			wait(1)
			Debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

Server:

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:connect(function(player, Attackedplayer, sword)
	local Damage = game.ReplicatedStorage.SwordValues:FindFirstChild(sword).Value
	Attackedplayer:Damage(Damage)

end)

How could I be sure exploiters can’t exploit with the sword?

You can use RaycastHitbox to detect when the sword hits something and check whether the player who was hit is within reasonable range, on the server

You should handle debounces, hitbox, and damage all on the server. Treat the remote event to the server like a request from the client to the server. (Client asking the server if they can use the sword) Handle animations on the client as it automatically replicates.

I will use this, thank you! Do you think I should rather use the Making a Deadly Part (The Easy/Lazy Way) or Making a Deadly Part (Intermediate Way) Tutorial??
