Only Useful for Fontaine Exploration and Puzzles

The Sword of Narzissenkreuz is mostly geared towards providing Pneuma and Ousia to Arkhe-less characters for puzzles and enemies in Fontaine. It is usable at least for characters who scales on ATK, but is otherwise not the best choice of weapon.

Only use it if there are enemies that require you to use this mechanic, like the All-Devouring Narwhal.
