IMO they made this crap too good. Rarity 7 being as good or better than even rarity 9 weapons. What's the point of 90% of the game if the only time to bother thinking about your build is rank 10, 11, and 12?

Am using this and damn is this good. However, it is still not the top damage longsword in the base game. The Wyvern Luna does more damage.

Is there any proper builds for this? Cause this thing is a free op long sword without Iceborne dlc, just the update. (This thing frickin destroys btw)

damn this thing is amazing for the minimal effort you need to put in
Trochę niszczy zabawę z grindu, ale będę ją używał wtedy gdy bestia jest podatna na wybuch. A teraz kończę bo jeszczę jeden Behemoth i mam zbroję.
