Long Sword Analysis

Great In a Pinch

Being a Straight Sword, the Long Sword very rarely comes into situations it can't handle. It's a convenient weapon that is easy to make use of for any playstyle.

Dragon Long Sword in 2-2 is Even Better

The Long Sword you can find in 2-2: Armor Spider Archstone is actually a Dragon Long Sword, which as its name suggests, already comes upgraded to Dragon +1. Due to its lack of scaling, this weapon is especially useful in many early game situations. As 2-1 is a fairly easy level to get through, making your way to this sword before taking on other areas is a good idea.

Long Sword Recommended Upgrade Path

Long Sword Recommended Upgrade

Any upgrade path for the Long Sword is good except the Dragon Long Sword path. This is because you can pick up one anyway so it will be a waste of materials to develop two Dragon Long Swords.
