The best Mythic Sword that you can use is the Nobunaga. This is because it has higher base stats than the other two Mythic Swords, and its dash attack and speed boosts are great for closing a gap to enemies that are out of range.

As for the other Mythic Swords, they're Inherent Traits aren't as good as Nobunaga's, and they generally perform worse on average, especially in PvP but not as much in PvE.

CLY2 Kakalik is a Good Alternative for PvE

Alternatively, the CLY2 Kakalik is a decent option to use instead in PvE. This is because if you can activate its Perk Upgrade, it will do extra damage to Fallen and Cabal enemies.

Depends on the Extra Traits Rolled

Different Perks Per Weapon
It should be noted that the best Mythic Sword to use on a character comes down to the other two traits that the weapon rolls. Even if the Nobunaga is the overall better weapon, you might have a different Sword that has better traits for the character that wants to use it.

For example, while you may have a Nobunaga with decent purple perks, you might have a different sword that would perform noticeably better since it has two orange perks instead.
