Iris saber OP or bugged ?

[DeezHares]

So i completed the Hearts of Stone DLC and i got Iris , i'm still using in Blood and Wine DLC and i dont think there is a better one , is it the best blade in the game? Or is it bugged , because for me it damages 2 times a tick when i do a hard attack.

The best silver sword in game is aerondight from Blood and wine dlc, but for steel swords, i don't think so about iris, i use it when i start NG+ but i think blood and wine have many better steel swords in game.

Is that on its own or against set bonuses too? The weapon always looked kinda meager to me.

Which sword? Aerondight, iris or othe steel sword in Blood and wine?

Can't really say which sword is "best" as it depends so much on runes, skills, style of play, etc. It is correct that Iris does a double attack when using the strong attack. For steel swords, I use Viroledan which has higher damage plus 75/15% criticals. Longclaw has even more damage but without the criticals. For silver, I use Aerondight because it increases damage with each hit, but based on damage alone, Gesheft has higher basic damage. "Thegamer" website has an evaluation ranking swords which can offer more information.

Either really. Question is the same practically. Are either one of the swords good enough to take the spot of a weapon that belongs to a set? I was referring to Aerondight specifically initially.

Iris guarantees knock down which you can then use a finisher. BUt from what I have seen, it seems a lot of people say the Toussaint steel sword is the best stat wise.
