Any other sword(s) besides the nightblade and its upgrades?

*Edit:

  • Forgot about Faust and it's upgrade. ty svanto.
  • Edited the title to "Shadow Swords" to give better discussion.

Discussion: Need more shadow swords in the arsenal.

... shadow damage...

you have a two-hitter and a three-hitter, both spit out lasers when you charge them...
What more do you need?

I mean, really... not much else to do here.

We have only one type of pierce sword, only with different charges and useless statuses.

Fast or strong, take your pick

I greatly prefer GF for its power (kills most menders in one combo) and curse

Meanwhile, drop a note in the Suggestions, we do need more shadow weapons in general.

Cheaper? No, but still...

I prefer Acheron for its non-curse charge attack, but if you have curse-resistant equipment, then it should be fine for G-Faust. G-Faust is a heavy hitter, but you also need to invest in ASI a bit/shield cancel if you want to maximize effectiveness.

Acheron, though, also has a crowd-control charge, just like g-faust. So it's mostly the curse problem...

People really overestimate

People really overestimate GF's self-curse chances. It's not THAT often, and all it takes is one weapon slot upgrade or any curse resistant gear and it's a non-issue. I think cursing enemies is WELL worth a tiny risk of cursing yourself, and you don't even have to charge it to cause curse.

So again, the main difference just comes down to speed vs power

I find the lack of balance in this game disturbing; but hey, what can you do?
