Many of you know of the various brandish lines, but no one would ever create a cautery sword.
The cautery sword is a 3 star normal damage brandish with a damage bonus vs slime high.
With this boost it would seem a good weapon for the Sovereign Slime mission. It's damage is comparable to the nightblade, but with it being the end of it's short alchemy path the nightblade outclasses it.
The only reason to choose this weapon over the nightblade is that it lacks the penalty to the silkwings that live in the Sovereign Slime mission.
Instead of cutting this sword's line short why not give it a path that ends in a normal damage brandish with a damage bonus vs slime Very high as well as a chance to inflict moderate stun. This would make it a viable choice for many missions as well as providing a new weapon.
there were a suggestions to put heart attack in the charge. that would be nice. but we do not need normal brandish. acheron outclasses evrything
