Hey guys I have a spur and it has 1 UV. I was hoping someone would give me some tips on how I should use my spur. first of all do you think I should give my spur another 2 UVs from Boost (if you dont know boost is the Grimlen at the Bazaar) or should I not because I don't think that makes it any better. Second of all since the spur makes you move up every time you hit can someone help me use that to my advantage. Third of all I have a florish with 3 UVs should I be using that instead of the spur. The spur is a really hard weapon for for me but I hear it's really good once you get the hang of it.
What I really like about the sword is it's charge attack because it has a projectile.The projectile seems to be really weak though. I'm saving up crowns to upgrade the spur and I'm also wondering if the arc razor would be any better than the spur. I'm also wondering if it has a better charge attack. I hear it is almost the same as a spur. If you can please rate the spur by writing in 1-10 down in the comments. Thank you :)

Actually, once you get spur

Actually, once you get spur to 4*, it becomes really bad. The 3* Spur is viable in tier 2, but it's pretty much useless in tier 3, and the 4* version has major issues that stop most people from using it seriously. As another note, the charge attack never really changes.

The 4* spur, Winmillion:

+ Shoots projectiles on every swing
+ Regular attacks just about outdamage the ascended calibur - IF you can hit with both projectile and swing
- Divides it's damage between projectiles and the swing; if one misses you don't deal full damage
- Makes wolvers teleport, mechaknights use their shield and can't be hit at all, devilites and gremlins dodge
- Really weak charge attack; potentially the only worse charge attack on a sword is the Troika lines
- Sends you flying off in the direction you're facing every time you swing it, throwing you into traps, enemy attacks, etc
- Doesn't upgrade to 5* yet

Before you ask, I'm speaking from experience - I have one myself. It's fun, but not useful in a lot of situations. Amusingly there's pretty much no problem using it in FSC, which is where most people farm in T3, but apart from that I'd never take it into a random strata.

Flourish is fine, but you need another weapon to go with it - you can't use it on slimes or constructs. Most people would suggest a Calibur at your stage in the game - it's an incredibly stable sword line with a highly useful charge attack, with no particular weaknesses past never dealing typed damage - which means you can use it on anything.

It sucks till winmillion

I use the spur, or winmillion, solely as my sword. Everyone says it sucks but I couldn't disagree more. Refer to above post for all the things it does. Because of its drawbacks you do need other weapons to counter this which in most peoples opinions is why the spur sucks. Personally I love that I can, on a normal attack, attack anyone from a distance. The best part about the spur is you can handle groups, especially those that surround you no problem due to its knock-back on every strike. Because you step with every attack you a can change direction with every attack. If you want to get good with the spur get used to fighting more than one enemy at a time and get used to striking a different enemy with every swing. I haven't used the charge attack since i got the winmillion on account that it does kinda suck but if you can utilize it right you have a projectile attack which doesn't stop on first person it hits but goes through them all and you can begin another 3 hit combo which can end with you starting to charge up again. The projectile's distance is pretty short though. I would love it if they make a 5* upgrade for this sword that modifies and corrects all its short comings. If you want to be a fast attacker there is no better sword.
