Dragonheart
5.0
(6)
"Dragon heart is the current meta sword main weapon."
"Best swords right now from what I’ve heard is dragonheart and shark anchor"
"Dragon heart is current meta"
"Dragonheart"
"Dragonheart for Sword Main, and Yama for gun/fruit"
"If you can go get dragonheart, that sword genuinely can 2 shot people and is super disjointed and has zero end lag."
#2
CDK
4.0
(5)
"Can't go wrong with cdk, ttk, dragonheart, spikey trident."
"Cdk tkt"
"If grinding with buddha, i would go for CDK or TTK or anything similar that have high damage and it's fast."
"I did hear cdk is a good sword"
"CDK or Yama are the best for it but TTK is still a really good sword especially for close range"
#3
Galaxy Sword
4.0
(5)
"No, galaxy sword is better, but lava katana is pretty good if you have trouble finding a prismatic shard."
"I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure you can just buy a second galaxy sword from the guild once it’s unlocked."
"I like to carry my galaxy sword on one side of my pickaxe and this cutlass on the other side."
"Fully upgraded galaxy sword is still better but this is a nice find!"
"I think with forging and other enchantments, things can always become better. Still a nice find."
#4
Holy Blade
5.0
(4)
"The holy blade is really strong with the 4 speed and crit power. The crusader enchant puts it as something to hang on to for a good while for skull cavern dives."
"Holy blade is great. I kept it even with the lava katana because of the crusader enchant. Super useful to swap to for mummies"
"Probably Obsidian but the Holy Blade kills mummies which you can’t do without that crusader tag"
"I'd keep Holy blade and obs edge. Main holy blade because of the buffs but use obs edge if I'm in a bad situation."
#5
Adventure Time
4.0
(4)
"Go with either the Grass Sword or the Finn Sword, those are the most iconic swords in the show"
"The finn sword is the most iconic and recognizable imo but they are all sick"
