Obsidian sword vs lava katana6/23/2023 Not only does this mitigate bomb damage (excluding mega bomb), but most enemies barely do any damage. I recommend using the forge to craft a couple of rings to 2x crabshell ring (total +10 defense). One thing to note: an attack sword isn't much help if you don't prepare for the caverns. I'd fuggin love to see the true form of this weapon. I'm very disappointed we can't upgrade the Lava Katana in the same way as a galaxy weapon. Upgrading the Lava Katana with 3x aquamarine is very helpful, but since its base damage isn't improved, the gain of the +25 crit power isn't much in comparison. Note: fully upgraded means the Qi purchases must be made because each of these increases the base damage in its final form. There is no equivalent to a fully upgraded galaxy sword. A fully upgraded galaxy sword with 3x aquamarine is a fuggin one-hit killing machine in the regular mines, and can take out 30% of critters in the caverns with one hit (like mummies and serpents). However, things change once the forge is introduced. The speed of the GS can produce higher dps, but the +25 crit +3 defense and +3 weight (knockback) can be invaluable for those weak in defense. addition) so the increased damage from the weapon outweighs any attack buff from food.īoth swords are comparable without upgrades. But weapon speed is not something you can make up for (without animation cancelling) and I'm not 100% sure how attack buffs work, but I assume it's the same as defense (i.e. Defense isn't *as* useful because you can eat food to make up for it. Crit isn't that useful because of that 1.5% of a crit hit. TLDR: Galaxy Sword has a much better attack, so the stats don't matter as much.ĮDIT: GS has 60-80, so 3 hits (2.1) to kill a serpent, but my statistics skills aren't good enough to justify thisĮDIT 2: Alright I figured it out. That means that it takes at least 3 hits (2.5) to kill a serpent with a LK, and 2 hits (1.67) with the GS on average. The biggest argument in favour for the galaxy sword is the damage. *And*, you can move away really quickly after you hit too, so it's easier to change directions. While these stats are nice, the weapon speed of the galaxy sword is pretty invaluable (for people new to skull caverns at least), as you can just spam your sword at enemies and you're very unlikely to get hit. But the lava katana only has a 1.5% chance of landing that crit strike.Īs with defense, a serpent has a base damage or 23, so +3 defense will reduce that to 20.
