Best Safi Longsword??

[Ruffy]

So I just beat Safi and saw that you can choose between multiple weapons. Since i am a LS player, which one is the best?

[Reborn]

they all do the same raw damage, so either choose for element or just go blast for that extra damage proc

Awakened skills are what make Safi weapons good. Don't use them until you have your weapon maxed out with awakenings. For LS, you probably only care about attack awakenings and maybe a few sharp awakenings if you wanted to hit purple sharpness.

I for one don't really care about sharpness awakening cause sharpness can still be achieved with handicraft charm plus monster will tend to retreat to other area before your sharpness drops to blue. I used shatterblade and went full attack awakening.

The 2 sharpness V is actually just to get purple sharpness to get 5% more damage than white sharpness.

Otherwise, the weapon has relatively generous white sharpness bar.

Blast for general use . Paralysis is good for MP . Sleep is useful in Guiding land since extra wall bang give you extra shinies .

But if you have limited resources, I recommend you to choose Shatterblade .

For awakening , there are multiple way to approach this . I will state 4 styles but note that dps difference is very minimal .

I.
Most popular one is
- Sharpness V
- Sharpness V
- Attack VI
- Attack V
- Attack V
This unlock purple 20 . Very similar to Lightbreak LS stat . You need Teo MT to effectively use this .

Which one is better ? Well safishatter blade with this awakening have
- abit more raw ( just a bit )
- 5% more affinity ,
- less blast value ,
- sharpness can be upgraded further with handicraft skill although there is no point .

Meanwhile Lightbreak LS have
- abit less raw ,
- 5 % less affinity ,
- more blast value ,
- sharpness cannot be upgraded with handicraft skill .
- BUT dealbreaker is additional lvl 3 slot . This allow you to add Phoenix jewel . Which is + 12 true raw when you recovered from blight . Light break LS can deal around 1% more damage if you have high Coalescence uptime . But note that not all monsters have high coal uptime .

In conclusion , they are very equal .

II.
Another one is all Attack . This have very similar EFR compared to above but 40 white instead of 20 purple . MT is recommended for this one but not strictly necessary if you are willing to run protective polish + Hard Enduring Jewel and have loads of Fin+ . But uncomfy is real without MT especially if u r fighting monsters that never leave from area . Example event quest tempered Ruiner , Shara . Difference between white and purple is not much in dps wise . But bouncing and grey damage number will happen with white sharpness for some monsters .

III.
Next one is Sharpness V + All attack . This one deal abit less damage than above two builds but comes with 80 hits of white . Completely ignoring MT , PP . Allowing you to run more flexible armors pieces . So overall dps will be the same or low depending on your armor choices .

IV.
Last one is Teostra Technique + All Attack . This one become popular with introduction of Frostfang Barioth since this build allow you to run MT + Agitator secret + Punishing Draw in one build . Punishing Draw of Iai Slashes have KO value 50 . 100 if both hits lands . This is value is devastating especially matchup against monster like Kirin . Giving you to extra opening for ur burst damage move , Spirit Helm Breaker .

Note : These are ideas before Fatalis . Fatalis meta totally wiped out all things and these kinda become progression set at this point .

For Safi melee weapons you always want Shatter for the blast procs.

Doesn't matter if it's longsword or hammer or whatever, if it's melee you want Shatter.

If I recall correctly the only other one that was ever really used was the Dream greatsword because a sleep proc was a free TCS.


Also you should know that when you go ti claim your rewards you are guaranteed that 1 weapon of the type you have equipped when you claim it will be in the list to pick for. So if you're chasing a longsword equip one before you go to claim rewards.
