FAQ
Sword tier questions
What is the best sword in Haze Seas?
Dark Blade V2 is the current top community pick for both PvP and PvE. 3SS V2 is the strongest late-game alternative.
What sword should I use early game?
Use Katana before moving into mid-game V2 swords. Shark Blade is a workable starter alternative.
Which sword is best for bosses?
Dark Blade V2 and 3SS V2 lead bossing recommendations. Zenith is the best easier-to-obtain alternative.
Are V2 swords worth farming?
Yes. Dark Blade V2 and 3SS V2 are the strongest current sword targets, but some obtain routes conflict across sources and must be checked in game.
Which swords are hard to obtain?
Rows marked Unobtainable or tied to UGC limited items are not normal farming targets. Boss-drop swords also depend on spawn and drop chance.
