5. ⚖️ Personal Opinion: Ease of Use, Enjoyment and Damage
- ✅ Nameless Sword: Easier to play, not strict rotation, very forgiving of mistakes.
- ✅ Strategic Sword: Very strict rotation, especially in raids. Difficult to maintain a perfect rotation due to boss movement and mechanics.
- ✅ The Strategic Sword suffers a lot if the rotation is interrupted (e.g., failing the Sober Sorof or the inner truck slash).
- ✅ In terms of enjoyment, the Nameless Sword is preferable for Trials speed kills.
- ✅ In raids, the creator prefers the strategic bleed build despite its flaws, as it is more engaging.
- ✅ In long raids, the strategic build does slightly more damage, but is riskier.
- ✅ If played perfectly, the Strategic Sword has higher damage, but the Nameless Sword may be better if the boss has a lot of downtime or movement.
- ✅ Both builds are extremely strong. The choice depends on personal preference and what you find more fun.
