Ragnarok is stupid.

[Izziee]

I don't remember starting with this weapon on PS4, I don't even know why I have it, and yes, I KNOW I don't have to use it, but it's ridiculously OP and feels like it makes other swords pointless.

[Entropie]

Yeah, it was pretty diasppointing to discover that not even a rare endgame weapon would be superior to this preorder bonus weapon.

[Mystokai]

Well, there might be one sword who could be better, but you can only get it after finishing game, and doing series of dungeons -_-

[Ominous187]

it does till chapter 9 then you get better sowrds like blood sword

[Entropie]

Even the weapons that on paper have a higher attack stat deal way less dps when you just phase strike everything.

It just makes the game ridiculously easy.

I definietely find myself enjoying the combat in the comrades dlc a lot more because you actually can not just mash the phase strike button to win every fight there ^^'

Uhm I got the Blood Sword on Chapter 3 I think, but you can't really say that it's better. There's no better weapon for warping, while there are better swords for standard attacks.

But, why would you go with, say, a Balmung sword that can do 200 more damage than Ragnarok on standard attacks when the preorder sword can deal 3000 more damage on each warp compared to said Balmung?

I mean, it's a matter of playstyle I guess, but for me it's been the starting weapon and probably the one I'll end the game with, as I warp all the time.

It's good early on but I have since found better weapons. I didn't use it to start anyways, was using the hardedge or w/e heavy sword. Loved breaking legs and still do! xD

i had blood sword chapter 2 dawg.

[Neks]

I got Perfect Sword with 300++ ATK on 3rd chapter from Cid's upgrades of motorized sword... Ragnarok? what Ragnarok?...

You can just buy the 10k weapon very early in the game... As soon as you get to chapter 2 or chapter 3 go to the hunter HQ and buy Duscane or whatever it's called. It's not a big deal when that's already in the game for the relatively low price of 10k considering you get 3k per bounty hunt...

[Entropie]

Obviously a lot of peoples opinion comes down to preference, though I wonder whether anyone actually has a weapon that surpasses the ragnarok phasestrike dps.

Balmung certainly does and no weapon I encountered doing all the endgame chapter 15 stuff came even close, especially with rare metal equipped leading to 20-40k per phase strike.

(Save to say, all other suggestions here so far are much weaker as they are weaker than balmung in terms of pure damage stat)

[DonJuanDoja]

Yea it's whatever.

I use all kinds of weapons, still use Ragnarok for some stuff like Farming Zu Beaks or whatever.

Casual outfit no jacket helps get max dmg on every strike...

Was kind of nice to have something to make farming Max Angelus 0 a little faster... it still takes a while.

[Alzakiel]

like you said warp-striking everything is boring, hence why i didn't use ragnarok and enjoyed Ultima Blade/Dragoon Lance/Ect ;). And to be honest, my dragoon lance can hit like a truck and same for my soul saber lol.

The last time i've used Ragnarok was to kill those 100 cactuar on the daily quest xP.

[DJukor]

Just dont use it.
I never did outside of just tryng it out once on some random mobs jsut so see what it does.
FF games adding cheat mode for people bad at games has bean a ting for a while now.
