Notes
Normal attacks have a little area of effect, and when enemies are close a portion of the damage is spread, much like Scindo. It is very noticeable when using elemental mods, as the visual effect is applied with the damage too.
The Taking Flight combo of Iron Phoenix will also trigger the AoE Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc.
Tips
Because this weapon deals innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage, two more combined elemental types can be added to form a three-element build. With a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. combo, the Dark Sword can be made into an anti-Grineer weapon capable of defeating Ferrite Armor, Alloy Armor and Machinery. This same build also makes it effective against Corrupted.
Trivia
The Dark Sword and its shorter counterpart the Dark Dagger were previously physical damage weapons. Update 13 changed them to deal purely Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage on their normal attacks, making them the first melee weapons to do so.
