Sailor Piece Swords Guide: Best Weapons & Mastery Tips
Complete swords guide for Sailor Piece. Best weapons by tier, mastery unlock system, sword locations, and top combos for PvP and PvE.
Sword System Basics
Swords scale primarily with the Sword stat, with secondary scaling from Melee stat (15% bonus). Each sword has a base damage value, attack speed, and a mastery cap. Mastery increases via sword usage—every hit with a sword grants 1–3 mastery points. Equipping multiple swords does not split mastery; each sword tracks independently.
Mastery & Special Moves
Special moves unlock at mastery 50, 100, 150, and 200 for most swords. Mastery 200 unlocks the sword's ultimate ability—always worth reaching before discarding. Common mastery 50 move pattern: lunging strike. Mastery 100: projectile attack. Mastery 150: AoE spin. Mastery 200: ultimate with unique animation. Legendary and Mythical swords sometimes have 5 moves unlocking at 250.
