Sword of Khaine, how to swap it to another hero?

[DrakenKin]

Playing Alith Anar, and i got the sword when i confederated another elf faction. The issue is, i want it on my main hero, Anar, for the final battle... but it is currently equipped on Alarielle.

Is there any way to swap it?

Also side question, the blade say thirsting and i am losing public order because of it, i did multiple fights with Alarielle but the blade doesn't seem to have gotten it's fill of blood. Is this something that can happen or will the blade always be thirsting and causing public order issues?

Ty!

It doesn't get better, it only gets worse. Eventually you get the chance to return it to the shrine.
No way to swap other than:
A - returning it and redrawing it
B - losing it to an enemy and then retaking it from the enemy

Click on the Banner of the army currently holding the hero you would like to give the sword to When you have done so, that hero should be shown in the large round portrait at the bottom left hand side. On a smaller circle to the left below it is a tab with a picture of Magnyfing over a head. Press that and it will take you to either the skills or details screen for that hero. Find the details tab up the top and click on that. You then find Armour, Weapon, Talisman are listed top to bottom just to the left of the more detailed character portrait. Click on the top down menu where it says Hand Weapon in the box next to the arrow. Hopefully you will find the Sword of Khaine there if you were awarded that earlier. Just click on it if you see it there and your done.

If you don't see it there, then you have a problem, I can't help you with further. I never got as far as possessing the sword of Khaine. So, I only assume what I told you is the correct thing to do.

The sword isn't a normal weapon, you can't just switch it around, it's like an LL unique gear, except it can be stolen basically.

[Mick]

Well, therre must be a way. Maybe your current hero is stuck with it like a cursed weapon.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Yes, that's exactly it, the easiest way if you really want to lose it, is to send the lord solo against the enemy (hope you have immortality) and let the enemy take it.

[DrakenKin]

I don't see an option to return it and redraw it. I guess you have to have the building max level? I only have the first level and the second is still upgrading, 3 more turns to finish.

Putting it back would be an option, I could discard both Alarielle and Anar, spawn them both at the building (assuming that's where the arthur putting back excalibur in the stone type event is supposed to happen) swap the weapons, then discard them again to redeploy to the front. That's only 10 turns to swap the sword, which is an acceptable cost at this point.

[DrakenKin]

Actually Anar has his legendary bow, so i guess ill use a hero. Is it even possible to put it back and put it on a hero instead of a lord? I just want to bring it to the final battle without removing Anar's bow if possible.

[Elitewrecker PT]

No, only lords can use it.

[Grimwear]

Eventually after X amount of turns you'll get an event pop up saying something along the lines of "The Blade wants more" and you'll have the option of keeping the sword with an increased order penalty or returning it to the altar. As far as I know you can't return it at will.

[DrakenKin]

Wow, just got it now, the choice of returning it or not... speak of the devil...

Ok so if i keep it order will go down, but will it be more powerful? The events says it will, and the name changes from thirsting to thriving. Is that its max level or will it keep on growing?

If it keeps on growing, i am more curious to see what it does, so i won't return it.

[Elitewrecker PT]

I think there's a third level.

With it's current holder, replace the sword with another weapon(or leave the slot open).That should put the sword back into your inventory,then pick the lord you want to have it.

The above method works in older MC game I've been running,it's in that state of having the placeholders for VC but not full functionality of the DLC.

I love people that try to help when they have no clue.

Like I see the positive intentions and that you just wanted to do sth good, but if you know that you don't know anything about that certain topic, you actually do more harm then good.


As others stated, no way to remove/swap SoK except of returning it on the "Sword grows in Power" events or when the swordholder gets killed/wounded in battle.
