Wich is better, Excalibur or Sol Blade? I never took the time to find out because I don't fight with weapons anymore. I took away all my items for a chalenge, but now I need to know because I'm starting to battle other people with the game.

[Mallick]

Well,in my oppinion I would say that sol blade is better,but someone else will definetley have a different oppinion

[Nick Presta]

Sol Blade is THE BEST weapon no matter what. The ONLY downside is it can only be wielded by Venus Adepts.

The Sol Blade has the second highest attack increase, thus making it the most powerful (Forget the Darksword). Plus, it has a 3x multiplier which means, when it unleashes it will always hit for 3x damage.

Excalibur high a pretty high attack rating too which is good, but a downside is it's a long blade, thus only Garet, Isaac, Felix and Piers can use it. It has a 3x multiplier, but it also has a 1x multiplier too so when it unleashes, it may NOT ALWAYS hit for 3x damage.

Thus Sol Blade > Excalibur.

[el_Sethro]

the only advantage to Excalibur over Sol Blade is that it can be equipped by Piers and Garet, in addition to Isaac and Felix. give the Sol Blade to Isaac or Felix, and give Excaliburs to Isaac/Felix, Piers and Garet.

[Mallick]

Yeah but I prefer to have Isaac have Sol blade and Felix have excalibur excalibur

[Nick Presta]

Piers, I know you are explaining how you have the weapons setup, but Enoch asked which is better. Could you please post reasons for your answer other than you like it that way.

Thanks.

[Echo_djinn]

easz sol blade next question plz meh

sol blade for sure when it howls does tons of damage when the other sword( srry to lazy to right it down) howls it has a chance of doing tons of damage

[Teblor Tribe]

The Sol Blade Hands down so I Equip it with Isaac. The Bad thing Is you can only get one of them. You can Get as meny Excaliburs as you want.

[Echo_djinn]

Yea if u can wait for ages trying to get it and to beat up the same monsters over and over again...something that iam tried of doing

[Dullahan]

That annoys me, Sol Blade is clearly better than Excalibur, but people think Excalibur is better and then there's the extremists who Tisiphone edge is the. best

[Teblor Tribe]

no kidding excalibers unleash is only better if your fighting someone that is weak against wind

[Valistrix]

Doom dragon and dullahun are both very weak to wind(jupiter) so I give excalibur to peirs to thrash em both

[Teblor Tribe]

I give it to both Piers and Felix and give Issac the Sol Blade

[Isaac13]

I read something on gamefaqs about the wepons, and it said the best weapon in the game was the Sol Blade. Truly, it is majestic. Use that. It is the best. Any one who thinks not are among the (I don't want to say it)!!!

[Linear]

<_< hmm...let me think...I would give Felix the Sol Blade, and Piers and Isaac an Excaliber.

I dont know. I gave Felix the Sol Blade, Piers the Excaliber, and Isaac the Tisiphone Edge. (Jenna has the same weapon)

[Amon]

I'm pretty sure you can't give Piers Excalibur. Still, I agree, Isaac should have excalibur and felix should have sol blade.

In my opinion Sol Blade is better. And cooler.

[Enoch]

But there have been rare occasions where the excaliburs 3x did more damage then Sol blades 3x. But that may have been just attack against wind. Though I'm not quite sure. But the Sol blade is more constant with 3x unleashes.

[l3lueMage]

I find the sol blade best for venus adepts, and Excalibur best for mercury.

[Somia]

<same here, but personaly i like dark sword.

[Nick Presta]

Well, at high levels, elemental power comes into play. If your adept has more Jupiter Power (like say 10+) then equip Excalibur, but make sure you give the Sol Blade to Isaac or Felix, even if you think the Excalibur is better.

[l3lueMage]

its all on opinion and combo, Depends on how you like your characters to look.

[gsninja]

Actually, I just remember something I did with Isaac. I equipped him with the Excalibur, taking the Sol Blade off for a battle, since I wanted to see how much damage he could do with Legend, though his attack decreased by 20. Somehow, he did more damage with Legend than he did with Meggido. His Earth power was his highest elemental attack rating, and yet Legend was more powerful than Meggido when I fought that battle. I was really amazed at what happened...

[Nick Presta]

^ Enemy resistance +/- 3 random damage.

I still think Sol Blade > Excalibur in 99.9% of the situations people describe. Oh course, there is that .1% that calls for Excalibur.

[gsninja]

Even I still think that the Sol Blade is better than Excalibur. I suppose the enemies had better resistance to Earth than to Jupiter when I tried my experiment...

[Gardna]

Sol blade is the best. Excalibur's unleash is powerful as Megiddo only if it strikes three times, which happens rarely.

[l3lueMage]

what is the most damage you guys have done with sol blade, I did 1200 once o.O

[Gardna]

Sometimes i'm doing around 1300, but often 1100.

[Sea of Time]

The Sol Blade is better because when you get more powerful the unleash becomes better and unleashes more ofter, creating a 80% chance that you will get off a huge 800-1000 hit point atk.

No it doesn't. When your attack raises, damage increases (As in everything pretty much). If you have high attack, the sword doesn't unleash more often. Not at all.

[gsninja]

Strength plays no part in when the unleash happens, it's all random. I have Isaac at level 99, with a 952 Attack. He does a little more than 1,600 with Meggido.

[Enoch]

Dark blade is good, but it's unleash isn't too spectacular. effect wise.

[Golden Djinn13]

I like the Sol Blade better, because of it's unleash attack and I like the attack strength :mellow:

[Darklink79]

Sol Blade does more Damage with no unleash then Excalibur if Excalibur doesn't unleash...
Sol Blade does more damage with unleash then Excalibur does with it's first unleash...
Sol Blade does equal damage with Unleash as Exacalibur's Second Unleash...
Sol Blade is easier to get.
The Excalibur can be equipped to more characters, but that's pretty much it's only advantage...

[gsninja]

Excalibur is basically the second most powerful weapon in the game. The Dark Blade...nah.

[TobiasMar]

Well....this should be in TLA General discussion, but...
IMO, Sol blade definately the best, the Excalibur is good too, but the Darksword isn't bad at all. Actually, Acheron's Grief is useful because it poisons enemies.

[Darksol]

Sol Blade is better in my opinion. For many reasons, including the previously mentioned fact that it always does around 1000 damage with an unleash, but Excalibur only does that sometimes. And if we're talking about the Darksword, I'd say it absolutely does not surpass the Sol Blade or Excalibur in any way other than the fact that the unleash has deadly poison. But if you used Megiddo, they'd already have died, so, it only really is useful for poisonable enemies with like 2500+ HP. And I can't think of any, so... Oh, well, they're all great weapons, it just depends on how you use them. I give the Sol Blade to Felix, Excalibur to Piers, and the Darksword to Garet. Works best that way, in my opinion. However, many people may think differently.

[Lind]

The Sol Blade is the best sword over all in the game. It has a extremely high attack percentage, 3x multiplyer unleash everytime its used (it unleashes quite often, too), and isn't cursed. Its only real downside is that Felix and Isaac are the only two who can wield it.

The Darksword is the only weapon with higher attack power the the Sol Blade, but it's cursed, and the unleash isn't much more powerful than a normal attack. Unless you have a Cleric's Ring, its pretty much useless.

The Excalibur is the third most powerful sword, I think. It isn't cursed, but the unleash is iffy and sometimes won't be much more powerful than a normal attack and others it's very good.

The Sol Blade is found within Mars Lighthouse. The Darksword can be forged from Dark Matter. The Excalibur can be forged from Orihalcon. Just for reference, in my party, Felix-Sol Blade, Isaac-Dark Sword, Piers and Garet-Excalibur.

[Venus dude 21]

Sol Blade, no questions asked.

I gave the Darksword to Piers, and with a cleric ring, nothing goes wrong. I also gave him cursed armor as well.
