The top three sword fighting styles are Sword Saint, Godhuman, and Death Step.

Best PvP Sword Builds

Three builds dominate PvP:

1. Enma + Death Step + Mink — fastest PvP sword build. 270,000 DPS + +30% movement speed.
2. True Gryphon + Godhuman + Lunarian — tankiest PvP sword build. +60% damage reduction.
3. Kyoka Suigetsu + Ultra Instinct + Awakened Saiyan — strongest PvP burst window.

Best Raid Sword Builds

1. Yoru + Sword Saint + Awakened Saiyan — highest single-target raid DPS at 320,000.
2. True Gryphon + Godhuman + Lunarian — best tanky raid build. 290,000 DPS + +60% damage reduction.
3. Napoleon + Dragon Claw + Cyborg — best AoE raid build. 240,000 DPS + AoE multiplier.

Sword Unlock Path

Strongest swords to chase first:

1. Yoru — Mythical-tier sword. Drop from Mihawk raid (0.5% rate) or 50 Dark Keys.
2. True Gryphon — Legendary-tier sword. Drop from World Boss (1% rate).
3. Enma — Legendary-tier sword. Drop from Wano raid (1.5% rate).

Common Mistakes

• Yoru without Sword Saint — Yoru is meaningless without Sword Saint. Unlock Sword Saint first.
• Skipping race synergy — the right race (Awakened Saiyan, Lunarian, Mink) doubles the sword build damage.
• Selling sword drops — never sell. Swords are the meta endgame weapon.
• B-tier swords in endgame — B-tier swords fall off in Sea 3. Always upgrade to S/A-tier.
