how about dark iron sword?

24 Anonymousover 1 year

I think Dendro Traveler’s best f2p weapon should be Sapwood Blade. It does provide a huge portion of EM that Iron Sting can provide for most of DMC’s burst uptime, while DMC faces a lot of energy issues, which Sapwood Blade can help cover up. DMC needs like over 200 ER to reliably have burst charged before CD, especially if not teamed with Nahida, and/or favonius users, etc.
