Best steel sword?

[Chris P. Bacon]

I'm curious, do you guys prefer the Toussaint Knights Steel Sword or the regular Toussaint Steel Sword? Of course people also say that the Belhaven Blade is the true best steel sword, but I wanna know you're opinions.

i think "Iris" from the Hearts of Stone DLC

[𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐎]

But "Vitis" from Blood and Wine looks insane cool and has 20% + for each sign

Edit: well i play with a level scale mod so i dont know what is best for your level.

i think the tussaint knight steel sword when crafted as relic is the best dps Steelblade

I disagree about Iris being the best steel sword. Losing 15% of my maximum health just so I can get a more powerful attack isn't a bargain to me. Instead, I prefer the steel swords in the Witcher gear. Depending on your playstyle, the maximum upgraded version of any of them have the potential to be the most powerful steel sword in the game.

iris is bugged so its alot more powerful than intended.
And "strongest sword" has no meaning when levels exist. Any god tier sword will get useless when you overlevel it, except aerondight in vanilla i guess.

Toussaint Knight Steel sword has down, that +300 armor pen along with insane good crit rate and abilities on top of it clearly gives in the win pound for pound as the best steel sword.

Silver it's Aeorondight no contest.

don't think there's such a thing as best.. but I enjoyed countless hours with:
1)Hjalmar sword
2)Toussaint knight's steel sword (relic/crafted)
3)Blave
