Full INT Wyatt: Mage Blade or Seraphic Ascent?

[notbatman]

Have beaten the game multiple times, have golden weapons on every character. Doing a God Slayer run with Wyatt. Planning on full int. Should I upgrade mage blade purgatory or seraphic ascent to magic weapon? Only want to do one so I have tamahagane left over for markings.

Which weapon is better?

it depends on your build and what playstyle you want to use

Ascent hits faster and has some easier air combat, but it is always light damage and does silence afflictions

Mage blade can be changed into whatever element your up spell is and well is pretty good all around

so it really comes down to do you only want to do light damage or does it not matter to you (its viable but may be a little harder to set up for)

Both builds are really powerful. I have a soft spot for the Ascent Blades, because dual blades ftw, but you kinda have to level the Fire Magic to level 3 and use Fire Brand to compensate against the Angel Bosses that are resistant or immune to the Light Element. Mage Blade is more adaptable, but less cool (and slightly less combo potential I'd say)

But yeah, I've S-ranked everything with both builds with relative ease, so ultimately, it's your choice, go with whatever you enjoy most.

Went with ascent. I think it was the right choice purely because it lets you control your movement in the air a lot more and the light hits are faster to interrupt on the ground. Most of the damage comes from dragon fist anyway. It's going well. S ranks on everything, no retries, most bosses die in ~10 seconds. Weirdly only the very first boss was hard and required much reloading. Almost done, just the god bosses left now.

Yeah, Azudor is always kinda challenging because you're really limited in terms of options at that stage of the game. Glad that you're having a blast, but try the other build too, it's like a regular Purgatory Wyatt build, but with spells that actually deal damage!
