It's been such a while i wanted to make this thread, i'll try to help u
to compare weapons that you can afford by my comparing theory, ofc
there are different ways & opinions on this topic, but here is my
two cents
To compare all the weapons, you need 3 things
1 base atk power (enchantable or not) : avg = (lower + higher) /2
2 (Useful)base stat
3 open slots
Calculate the PVP grade
How you link your pvp swords: ELE, Flash, Craft 6, Shrewd 6, Fortune 6, Assault 6
PVP grade: Average attack power + base stats*1.3 + 30*1.3(if 5th slot) + 32(if 6th slot)
1. Avg attack power, there should be no problem with this part
2.
Base stat*1.3. Why is it 1.3X even all swords have dex, luc or even rec
base stat? Because in pvp you will need all of Str Dex Luc, which means
the fact having how many of each on sword doesn't matter, as long as
you are gonna put some of you toon's stat into dex or luc, then having
dex or luc in swords actually gives you more STR to put into your
toon's stat.
3. According to how i link my pvp swords, the 5th
slot is gonna be either str, dex or luc lv6, which is 30 stat
points*1.3=39 attack power; the 6th slot will be assault lv6: 32 attack
power.

The new epic duals goddess harupeon have beaten all the existing swords except the envois + they are enchantable.
The
legend harupeon, which isnt hard to get at all, has beaten woe bringers
as well, the woes are almost not possible to find on the market. You
gotta not miss it.
now the "worst swords" for pvp is amazon heart,
low atk power, less slots, but look, an AH at [9] can beat envoi ! What
I mean is unless you have all the other 3 ele swords linked, you
shouldn't think about changing it cuz of the price of eles on the
market.
*There are 6-7 base stats available for dual swords, in my
calculs, i've ignored str/rec and dex/rec. The rec varies between 5-8
for dex/rec and 10-16 for str/rec. If you are using one, you will need
to remove [rec base*1.3] from the PVP grade i've got to have the actual
grade for your swords, unless you like to have base rec in your build.
Suggestion 1: Envoi/Goddess Harupeon, top swords, no need me to tell.
Suggestion 2: Legend Harupeon, repeatable quest = always easier to get(comparing to woe bringers)
Suggestion 3: Demonic, good base atk, enough slots, and save your power lapisias
Calculate the KS grade
Now this is my personally concept on this part, ppl have different idea so ill just give my suggestions
How I link my KS sword: ELE, Craft 6, Assault 6, Craft 5, Assault 5, Assault 4[+16 atk] or Deceive 6[32 higher atk]
KS grade: Average attack power + base STR*1.3 + base DEX*0.2 + 24(if 5th slot) + 16(if 6th slot)
1. Avg attack power, there should be no problem with this part.
2.
Base STR*1.3 + base DEX*0.2. The only thing counts on a KS sword is the
Attack Power, which in stats, is calculated by str*1.3 + dex*0.2
3. According to the linking, the 5th slot will be a Assault Lv5 and the 6th will be a Assault Lv4.

Envoi is still the best by default but KS sword is about ATK power, enhancement is the weak point.
Since
it is not hard to get around [5] the best KS sword would be 1 Goddess
Harupeon, 2 Goddess Du Sith, 3 Woe Bringer/Legend Harupeon, they all
beat envoi at [4] to [6].
You should not consider making Legend du sith or AH as KS swords, wait for Woe Bringers or go farm for questing Harupeon.
*The best base stat for KS swords is STR/Luc , STR/Rec or STR/Dex, the ratio is always about 2 Str : 1 other stat.
High str + Low dex only exist on du siths and harupeons, 20str/10dex for legend, 24str/12dex for goddess
High
str + Low rec/luc is best for envoi[32/16], demonic[28/14], woe
bringer[31/15], amazon heart[28/14]; Luc or Rec doesnt really matter.
*Now
how about ppl that are with a well balanced STR/DEX 1:1 swords? It can
be KS sword as well but i highly suggest you to link them with STR DEX
and ASSAULT lapises instead of full str.
Suggestion 1: Goddess Harupeon, top KS swords, no other words.
Suggestion 2: Legend Harupeon, repeatable quest = always easier to get(comparing to woe bringers)
Suggestion 3: Woe Bringer, you only need Str/Rec which isn't the most wanted by ppl(oh well before i made this thread anyway)
Suggestion 4: Goddess Du Sith, It is better than woe/legend haru, only if its 24str/12dex base, one of the rarest swords.
Whats
the concept about KS sword, personally, it means full str which gives u
the max attack power available ignoring the dex luc which can be
covered by conc noss and ko/vanilla.
When to use:
1 MM (conc noss)
2 High dex build ppl, use KS sword to switch when you need to KS
Example:
When you switch from PVP dex/luc envoi to str/luc KS envoi, you lose 70
dex 22 luc but gain 77.6 attack power, build changed from 1500 atk 400
dex 300 luc to 1577 atk 330 dex 280 luc which is better for farming/KS.
I hope some of our fighters will benefit from this thread by finding the most suitable sword for themselves
