Which 1h swords to get?



In a situation where I'm not optimizing FH and Bash isn't my main attack would these be good alternatives to a CRK?

    I'd personally put Demonic swords a bit higher up, Pilgrims yea if you want to invest in rolls that have a better chance to get stats better than a base grade demonic on top of r6'ing. Demonics are much easier to step 6 price wise. If you just want something to use the skills with and use final hit with very fast hit rate but lower damage then just do beams. I made two r6 demonics and I'm not having any regrets. If having money ain't everything then go make some crazy r6 pilgrims for final hit, or demonics for overall cost/ efficiency

    For final hit:
    Demonic + att speed > CRK > Anything else "Fast".

    For bash:
    CRK > Anything.

    CRK is the best balance of the two skills, but if that's out of your reach you can go demonic + att speed for best final hit and still decent bash.

    If you have no attack speed, then pilgrim or beam whichever you prefer is preferable to demonic.

    I see. I'm probably going to do a bit more researching around myself to see what sword would suit me best. Thanks guys for your input.

    How much is CRK's crit damage bonus? Is it really not enough to make it a better FH set?

    Also, where is the data saying attack speed doesn't work on fast swords? And how do Phoenix Feather Swords compare DPS-wise to others with their very fast speed?

    Will Alban Training Grounds have a way to get more seal chains? Possibly in the hidden palace of warrior? I still only have 2.

    1. The crit bonus is 7%. So for final hit, your crits will be 299% instead of 292% at r6. For skills (bash, smash, etc) you will do 341% crits instead of 334% at r6. Demonics with attack speed are about 5% faster than CRK, so it's a question of 5% faster hits vs a few more max and slightly stronger crits.

    2. The data is: record yourself and count the number of hits you do with att. speed on Fast with and without and you'll see that it doesn't. As for phoenix sword, I don't have one to test but it has no special upgrades and the damage/cost isn't nearly as good as enchanted beam's so probably doesn't matter.

    3. Probably better to ask that in the foreign content section.

    As for phoenix sword, the DPS is about the same as beams, apparently.

    Interestingly enough, battle sword outdamages in Fh, compred to beam sword. But the downside is that it's not a good bash weapon and will also lose its effectiveness with capped strength.
