With its fully upgraded attack stat of 137, this blade has the second highest physical attack in the game. If you are using mainly basic attacks and abilities as Cloud, or you want to enjoy the action, this is the perfect weapon to do it with.
First prioritize getting all of the attack buff skills. Next, pick up all of the percent-based attack buff upgrade. If you want to be able to utilize magic better, spend the remaining bit of SP you have on the additional materia slots and MATK buffs. If not, prioritize the Bloodsucker and Stagger Siphon skills, as well the other remaining skills.
