Notes
This powerful sword outdamages all tiered swords, all tiered flails, and the majority of untiered swords. Divinity deals more single-target DPS, but only if you aren’t berserked. In addition, it has a range of 4.5 tiles, much higher thah its alternatives.

The catch is the odd firing pattern of the sword. It curves outrewards before curving back, which makes it hard to aim properly. In order to hit all shots, you must keep enemies within the sword’s max range, or sit on them. In certain fights, like in The Shatters, it may be next-to impossible to do so. Additionally, Knights may struggle with this sword, as shields short of Oryx’s Escutcheon do not reach the colo’s optimal range.

Even with this downside, it is still a strong sword. With good awareness of spacing and character movement, this sword becomes a clear-cut winner over all swords (except those like the Demon Blade). Buf if you find yourself missing a decent number of shots, the Sword of Majesty might be a more reliable alternative.

History
