So i saw this as one of the "new" Normal Damage 2-swing Sword ever since i came back and i noted
I'm wondering if this is better than the Leviathan and possibly replace my trusty Levi for it
Thinking of getting it but i'm looking for sum opinions on it first, if i may ask so politely
=3
Sadly, it isn't a replacement for a Levi. Everyone was waiting and rather excited about a 5* Troika finally being available. But after checking the damage numbers and seeing how useless the charge attack is, everyone switched back:

Ah dang, i was hoping they would be better
@Try I'm not exactly a charge person but that Levi vs Suda combo has that 100-150 damage i suppose
@Cult, Thanks, those topics were useful, Suda looked so cool too but eh, guess i'm keeping my trusty old Levi till then
x_x
if your levi is trusty and u work well with it, keep it of course! youll miss it....
And now i am ditching it and working towards a DA. It is mediocre compared to almost every other 5* sword, but it look really cool!
That it is not as effective as Leviathan should not put you off, as long as it is effective enough to do the job well. Troika is my first choice for Normal-damage sword, just because I like the crazy looks of it and the sound effect on the charge attack. If you do alright with Normal-damage and heavy swords in general, and are not big on charge attacks, then you should be able to enjoy the Troika family if you like their style. It's less powerful than Leviathan, but that doesn't mean it's garbage.
If you dive with PUGs often, Stun is really useful- probably not as great as Poison, but still good. If you are really into PvP, you can get a Freezing version instead which is probably better everywhere outside PUGs.
I don't think you should replace Levi with any other normal damage sword (maybe CIV but I still wouldn't recommend it).
Thats a good quesiton i suppose
Does Suda work well in PvP?
i forgot that part since i do Lockdown every now and then
Poopsie here had been traumatized with sudaruska user. Killed 10 times in a row by him.
I was originally planning to go for the Kamarin line for my Troika, but I wasn't too keen on it seeing as it only has stun.
Generally Troikas are good for their knockback ability, which means that unless you get swarmed by mobs often (usually Mecha Knights in Arenas, Danger Rooms or whatnot) they're not particularly recommended. In contrast, a Levi is a more all-rounded sword, so your DPS should be much better with a Levi than any of the 5* Troikas.
That being said though, if you do want a 5* Troika, get a Triglav instead. The freeze does wonders to mobs and other players alike; although do note that if you are a shield canceller in Lockdown, the Grintovec line only freezes on the second hit, and not very often. Charge attack for either line is virtually useless given that any observant player can dodge it almost 100% of the time.
tl;dr, you're better off with the Levi.
Nope the charge is practically useless
