Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (RFGoA)

Best Sacred Sword Skills and How to Use

Add to Watchlist

Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma - Sacred Sword
The Sacred Sword is best used with the Blades of Flame +1 skill unlocked in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (RFGoA). Read on for a guide on how to use the Sacred Sword, the best Sacred Sword skills, all the Sword Dance skills on the Skill Tree, and how to get the Sacred Sword.

How to Use the Sacred Sword

Sacred Sword Uses


Clear Purple Blight

Removing Blight Using the Sacred Sword
You can use the Sword Dance kamiwaza of the Sacred Sword near purple-colored Blightblooms in order to make the blight disappear.

Approach a purple Blightbloom with the Sacred Sword equipped in order for the Sword Dance prompt to appear, which will clear the blighted area. Clearing blighted land may allow you to get more development zones that you can customize with the Terra Tiller.

Infuse Attacks with Fire

If you have the Sacred Sword equipped as your sacred treasure, you will be able to add an additional fire attack called a blade of flame whenever you use a bow or the charge attack of any weapon.

More blades of flame can be added to your attacks by unlocking nodes in the Sword Dance Skill Tree.

Sickle Crops to Get Seeds

The Sacred Sword can also be used when farming. This serves as this game's sickle, allowing you to obtain seeds when using Sword Dance on fully grown crops.

The seeds you get from using the Sacred Sword will often be of a higher level than what's planted, allowing you to obtain higher level crops.

Best Sacred Sword Abilities

Skill Description
Kagura Dance: Divine Blade Kagura Dance: Divine Blade Surrounds the user with an aura that deals fire damage to all enemies within range for a set duration of time. Purifies Blightbloom.
Divine Dance: Festival Fire Divine Dance: Festival Fire Deals fire damage to all nearby enemies. Purifies Brightbloom.
Blades of Flame +1 Blades of Flame +1 Adds an additional follow-up strike from a blade of flame.

If you like using a bow or charge attacks, the best ability to unlock for the Sacred Sword is probably the Blades of Flame +1. This allows you to add an additional blade of flame attack when using a bow or charged attack with the Sacred Sword as your equipped sacred treasure.

Blades of Flame +1 appears to stack if you unlock more of this skill, easily increasing your damage output. Unlocking the Blessings of Fire skill allows you to deal even more damage with each blade of flame.

However, if this does not suit your playstyle, you can always rely on the Kagura Dance or Divine Dance of this sacred treasure if you're in need of fire damage.

Best Sacred Sword Stat Bonuses

Skill Description
VIT Up II VIT Up II Boosts VIT by 2.
VIT Up III VIT Up III Boosts VIT by 3.

In the Rune Factory series, VIT or vitality affects both your Defense and M. Defense, making it a good stat to invest in if you're struggling with battles.

If you use weapons that make use of your ATK stat, STR is also a good stat to improve through the Sacred Sword Skill Tree. However, if you prefer using Talismans and other magic weapons, STR is unnecessary.
