Base ATK: 565

This weapon features a robust combination of offensive stats, which includes a strong Base ATK, secondary ATK boost, and passive enhancement. The increase in Crit Rate is a significant advantage as well. However, to fully benefit from the weapon’s passive effects, characters need to be shielded, indicating that a dedicated shielder is essential when equipping this sword.
