Swords are highly dependent on direct Sword Stat allocation and scale heavily when reinforced with active Armament Haki. The top three swords in Haze Seas are Three Sword Style V2, Dual Dark Blade, and Zenith Sword.
3SS V2 is the S-tier king. Requires 300 mastery on 3SS V1 plus 25 Blade Fragments (10% drop from Sea 3 super bosses).
Dual Dark Blade is the premium pick. Features very large hitboxes and consistent armor-piercing slashes.
Zenith is the F2P S-tier. Unlocks a high-mobility playstyle that is highly effective for both PvP and boss encounters.
Enma has excellent damage scaling, though its moves require precise positioning to connect.
Raiu is highly effective when paired with the Electricity fruit, which triggers unique lightning impact and damage multipliers.
Shusui has strong tracking options but suffers from slightly slower wind-up speeds than Raiu.
Two Sword Style V1 is completely outclassed in damage by V2 but serves as a solid mid-game option.
Katana is the default starting sword. Replace as soon as the first boss drop is available.
