Weapons and Swords

Sword progression path

• Katana, Dark Blade, Gryphon, and Excalibur are the early or midgame bridge swords.
• Soul Reaper and Rimuru are full boss-material swords that sit in the middle of the late-game grind before the top update swords.
• Ragna sits in the older dragon-sword lane, with the current Dragon Slayer/Ragna boss tracked as a random Boss Rush or Infinite Tower spawn rather than a fixed island boss.
• Frost Empress (Rukia) is listed first among the current S+ sword routes. Dual Wielder, Sun God, Ice Queen, Dragon Goddess, Great Mage, and Atomic remain S+ backups or route-specific swaps.
• Anti Magic is confirmed through the Crystal Defense boss loop plus the 5,000 Crystal Coin shop route while still being tracked under both the Anti Magic and Asta search names.
• Shadow, Solo Hunter, and Aizen Sword are the base weapons for the big endgame upgrade chains.
• Beyond the newest Sea 2 routes, Sin of Pride, Atomic, Shadow Monarch, True Aizen, Abyssal Empress, Yamato, and Ice Queen remain major late-game sword goals, while Great Mage is now a legacy-gated Sailor Island buy route.
• Corrupted Excalibur or Saber Alter belongs to the spec side of the wiki, not to the sword evolution table.

Shared late-game sword systems

King Update weapon drops

Current Sea 2 sword notes

• Frost Empress is an S+ sword route on Frost Island. It uses Frost Empress Training 1 , 50 Sea 2 Quincies, 20 Soul Fragments , a Frost Empress / Rukia world-boss kill, and Kuchiki clan plus 10M Gems mastery for the F move and +300% Damage reward, which is intentionally higher than the usual +30% mastery bonus.
• Dual Wielder remains S+ as a pure DPS backup, but it no longer sits above Frost Empress in the current tier order.
• Sun God is back in the sword lane as an S+ Slayer Island weapon, with both the Buy Sun God NPC material route and the screenshot-backed direct boss unlock kept on the page.
• Great Mage remains an S+ kit when owned, thanks to very fast moves, great damage, and low cooldowns, but its current obtainment is legacy-gated because the Frieren boss is gone and Ancient Mage is unobtainable for new players.
• Dragon Goddess moves back into S+ because the latest reported buff wave is enough to treat it as a top-end Sea 2 sword again instead of only a balanced middle-ground option.
• Ice Queen remains a broad S+ fallback because it stays strong across many PvE lanes, but Frost Empress is the current top sword.
• Anti Magic remains a featured recent sword page, and the current confirmed route is Crystal Defense at the back of Punch Island with boss waves every 5 rounds plus a 5,000 Crystal Coin shop fallback.
• Atomic stays in S+ on this wiki, but it now follows the newer screenshot-order picks inside the top group.
• Sword of Rupture is tracked as a King Update drop from King of Heroes V2, but it stays unranked until the moveset, requirements, and performance are captured.
• Toji's Sword is a new Sea 2 weapon. Collect all Toji Sword Pieces to claim it; the piece locations and sword details are still awaiting capture.
