Weapon Loadouts

Main article: Category:Dark Sword Build

See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

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.

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.
  • By using the Iron Pheonix stance, you can hit more than one target.

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.
