How to use version 2 of the power sword? (additional mission mode)
There is the first one without the wave attack and there is the second one. When there are many enemies, I use the second version, but when more powerful enemies approach this crowd, the damage from this weapon is almost minimal.
I do not understand how best to use the sword and when to choose which version.

It's a bit underwhelming in campaign, but in operations once you unlock better versions of it it's alot better. variations that are both faster and stronger.

The first modes better for single targets, the second (with more electrical sparks) is for hordes. Some of the combo's for both are really strong, I'd recommend just swinging it about in a quite patch to work them out, I kept accidentally switching modes at first.
The question is, if many weak enemies and some strong enemies attack at the same time, what to do?

Depending on the situation a bit, but I either swing away in mode 2, blocking/dodging and major attacks, then switch to mode 1 to take out any bigger threats. Or I'll back off throwing a grenade or plasma pistol rounds (it has some aoe damage) to clear some of the little ones before re-engaging.

You also have the banner you can drop down to help tank the swarm a bit and it can also cause some aoe damage from a perk after afew levels

They aren't different versions, they are different modes. Just change to the other mode and it will wreck single targets.

I think they're asking how to change mode. and I would like to second that question.

Hold right mouse button. Edit: Press escape, it tells you which version is better for which situation.

You might wanna enlighten us, what your exact question is in proper english. Maybe use ChatGPT as translator.

A simple checking your esc menu wouldve taught you the movesets for melee including switching modes and also checking your keybindings to see what does what
