Stronger Sword?

[Lance813]

Which is stronger?

A fully ground Chain Sawd, or a fully ground Zanba?

The Chain Sawd's max grind is +15 (I believe)

And the Zanba's is +38


I'm too lazy to do the math... Thanks in advanced.

In terms of ATP bonus, Chain Sawd is stronger.

Though, swords themselves really aren't that great without a speed bonus, such as Heavenly/Battle.

You kids and your BB. :disapprove:

Chainsawd seems to have higher ATP if you compare them both with and without grinds. The zanba has an utterly destructive special though (Berserk) which can easily outdo the damage of a Chainsawd

Have fun with your General/Unnoticable.

Besides, the partisan is faster and I think better. Though it is weaker. ._.

V101 unit? Yesh agreed, very overkill...me liky it though. XP

lolz at BB and unbalanced items.

God/Battle is a must though for non-BB versions.


Anyways, on-topic: Chain Sawd does better than Zanba in normal and hard attacks. But a hit Zanba using the Berserk special does better than Chain Sawd.

[Magus_84]

The truly ironic thing in all this is that, despite all the "WHOAMG BB IS TEH UNBALANCED" baawing that goes on...Heavenly/Battle actually makes it harder to complete Sword combos safely in Ultimate.

It's to the point of almost being too fast. You end up having to start your combo at the absolute maximum range of the sword to be able to complete the first two hits in time to dodge the counterattack.

Compared to God/Battle, where you can just nub your way through with N/H combos without having to worry about positioning. Which is what most competent Sword users do anyway.

And Splash's explanation covers the important points pretty well.

Alright thanks!

I was wondering if i should start up a Zanba hunt on my skyly. I'll wait until i get a higher lvl though.

[Vanzazikon]

Don't forget God/Arms. :D Especiallly for HUcasts using swords, I hate it when only the last attack being a hard attack can be the only one to actually make a hit.

[Splash]

On the other hand, you wouldn't need any God/Arms if the sword had a high amount of hit on it.

[RAmar Lv.200]

True.

[Vanzazikon]

Yeah, but the chances of that is very slim. I still can't find a Chainsawd with a decent amount of hit percentage to make it hit all the times.

[Lance813]

Well i do have a God/Arm, so after I lvl up I'll go after a Zanba.
