Not impressed with Ultima Blade

[Vayne]

So i just got it on chapter 3...it has like 364 Atk and i thought i should be able to overkill any weaklings in duscae...but its not happening. Kinda weird it looks too weak for a 364 Atk sword

Stack Royal arms that enhance your strength and put on accessories that enhance your strength too.

The weapon alone won't do much, like everything else. Build around it and also his passive is not meant to deal extra damage but absord elements.

I preferred this weapon in Assassin's Creed Origins lol

Just use magic.

If you want 1 hit kill, try ragnarok or cheat engine

Still one of the best basic 1H sword in the game and very usable at endgame/post-game if you wish, with good results. My 120's still use it most of the time. There's a few others that can outdamage it with their special attack conditions/descriptors but may have conditions (like getting weaker with less MP? something?) Ppl have argued re: whether Ultima or Balmung or whatever other one is better but fairly subjective, and depends on playstyle, other gear worn, Ascension Tree nodes filled, and so on.

Note I'm not including Ragnarok. Because of its warp strike ability it's the best 1H sword for that attack style hands down, but that was a special DLC weapon (wasn't in the original vanilla game).

Ragnarok is the best sword (aka, it's broken imho for a weapon that you could get for a Pre-Order when the game was released back in 2016).

9999 guaranteed hits, and 5000 to 7000 (if armor break) on Red Giants (if you have your strength up and your Abilities well leveled).

Besides that, killing enemies with warp strikes, gives you invulnerability windows + 1 AP per kill... So, yeah... I've been using that all the time, almost maxed on my Ascension Tree, just 4 skills to go (999 each).

Good luck :)

[Hehe boi]

If you want to enjoy the combat, mid-air jumping around & around. I suggest you put away Ragnarok, it takes away the fun, hence the name lol. Insta kill with warp-strike guaranteed.

when you get to level 120 warp strikes do 9999 even with out ragnaork so its weaker normal damage makes it worse then other weapons when alot of your damage comes from link strikes and blind side
