Personally I wouldn't really touch the part damage swords. They're actually really useful early game when needing to grind for behemoth parts. They aren't necessary ofc but they will actually save you some time creating a part damage build early on.
Neutral needs a legendary behemoth that floats damage between or combines all of the elements in its attacks. If you look at the neutral weapons they have no weakness or disadvantages to any element. I'll bet if they made it an escalation & did it right the behemoth would be a beast.
I actually really like the Embermane sword mainly because of its cell disposition. The "5th attack does more part damage" definetly doesn't hurt, but I've been maining Repeaters for a long time in the past and took Sword up next. Embermane was the one that sparked my interest. I might be able to re-work my current build to suit the Hellion sword, but right now I'll gladly take Embermane's over others. TL;DR: cell disposition is a bigger factor for me than unique effects.
Remember when Everyone was using that sword cause it was an EXOTIC weapon. Kinda like the Exotic Shrowd Helm, pretty pointless if your just gonna get downed regardless lol. That helm is basically a rookie, crutch helm for people who go down a lot. But then you re-read the description again "Upon first Death..."
I think the Storm sword is one of the best, energized for the sword you can use so often and it's very useful in escalation just like the stormclaw axe
If you're fighting blaze behemoths I'd say yes. Otherwise it's depends. I think that Boreus sword is much easier to make the most use out of compared to thrax/hellion. All three of them are pretty close though so it's kind of a preference thing when there's no elemental advantage involved.
Pretty good list, hard to argue with... One Sword I think is pretty strong is the storm sword, you can pretty much keep it permanently in Avenging Overdrive now running +6 Energized and the unique effect, plus if you bond it to Cyclonic Fury you have a lot of cell flexibility. That means crazy damage is possible in that particular configuration, but I get why you scored it that way, since its a specific build.
As someone making meme builds for every sword, i completely agree with this list. Especially the pangar sword as it has a cool ability but most hunts end before it trigger a second time.
Imo embermane has a good use in part farm and i feel that moves it up a notch. I totally agree with the rest thx for another helpful vid. Signed Conroe, Tejas lol
He said in one video (i think its the blaze esca with revvy) it's still the worst sword in the game xD No unique effect and its special is not that good. It gives you decent lifesteal and little more dmg but at the cost of rAPIDLY DRAINING YOUR HP lol. So yeah, Valiant Overdrive is still better than The Hunger's imo.
It would be sick if Nesca was a different kind of escalation, with the boss being a sentient suit of armor that wields a sword, of course the sword you’d build with its parts would be the decked out recruit sword.
Wait, how did I not know about some of these unique effects? Did I literally never look at charrogg's sword description or even use it? I think I need to go look at my weapons skills more closely, I would have loved that skill before I cared about endgame dps stuff...
Wow, I've never had a comment hearted before, thank you for all the help your videos have provided since I started watching them. I'm still working on trying to get top 100, but I'm sure when I do it will be because of one of your builds!
I’m kinda new to the game, so if this is a dumb question sorry. Anyway, I shouldn’t go for a weapon just for the elemental effect? Does it just not give enough of a bonus to damage or what? And should you ignore the elemental type for armor too?
I want there to be other games I can actually get into. My eyes are set on GodFall, I might mess around in Apex for season 5, Hyper Scape. I'll test the waters and see what goes down. It means a lot that you want to see me cover more than just dauntless content, thanks for that!
Hey dough Can u do a build for the koshai sword focussing on high damage bladsurge cos I think it would be really dope and fun. And by the way keep up the good work and thank you teaching me dauntless
What about this with Keen edge mod. Replace the power on the sword with whatever you want. Replace energize with catalyst or conduit your call. www.dauntless-builder.com/b/VKUNPcPC0bUw0hBSYu5TpT2TVTzpi3CdMc62HgCW6cbxTzCagUQghRCbKH6t2L
I was thinking that they should make a recruit progression like the have the other weapons and then in order to get level the recruit you need like, sword exp. and mats and then prestige to level 15 and at level 15 it becomes a master's Sword or Grand Hunter, or Behemoth Hunter. well you get the point, And then you have to get certain materials to get the Cells, and go to the guy to fuse a lvl 1 cell with the weapon. same thing for the armor. so no material upgrades still the exp. it met.
So, if i had the option, would i choose legendary swords over the Dummy Thicc Damage swords? for example, Targadaros sword. Would it be better to use that instead of boreus?
I did not see The Hunger unless I missed it. That should be a Legendary because of the effect. When I started playing awhile back the chain blades were my go to. Then I moved onto the repeaters which are great as well. When the strikers came out, I have been all about them until recently I switched to The Hunger and I am loving the lifesteal it is great!
the whole time while i was watching this, i was thinking about geckos ._. edit: also like how on top of his screen, it says "use code ohdough" to spare you time, here is the timestamp: 4:24
Im playing sword like one week and starting to see the chain blades have bigger mobility obviously but damage also greater, so whats the point of sword then?
I'm not sure what you mean unless you saw it in umbral escalation? There is a new amp called Radiant Form that makes you glow when using your lantern tap (it also does some useful stuff but who cares^^)
Tbh, I would put Shrike sword in meh, since its UE sorta synergizes with its cell. So, if you can just dodge all attacks, the damage will keep 'stacking'. 🤔
I wouldn't say Valomyr neccessarily needs a rework, it just doesn't work well with the current low health meta. Just give it a patch or two until they nerf the likes of discipline, wild frenzy, rage or iceborne (or another powerful cell effect that rewards you for remaining at full health) and suddenly Valomyr becomes pretty decent again. Like, imagine Patch 1.4 comes out and they nerf wild frenzy and rage both by 10% at max level and at the same time the new Keystone Behemoth from the terra escalation has an effect that gives you a crit chance depending on how much health you have and also lets you gain more meter at full health.
I'd say for Kharabak, they could just take the same effect as they have on the axe: Stronger combo finishers. I mean, those are much more important with the sword now anyways, might as well buff them.
My charnog sword is +6 i tested the passive with a decent build i made and on the 1st hit it did 2k-3k if they could change how the passive works it can be way better
I bonded the +6 charnog sword with a +15 cauterizer and a drask lantern i did 4.5k and the hold turned it into 5.9k i tried again with avgening overdrive it did 6.3k with the hold it turned into 7.7k ( note: i used 1 heavy attack. if you would use blade rush it would go up to maybe 8-9k dmg with just 1 hit. I was in training ground so no frenzy potions).
I know it's a longshot, but I'd love for the next new weapon to be wound based like pike. Pike is fun and all, but wound in general seems super under used as a mechanic what with only 1 weapon having wound damage as base. Anyone else??
Hmm I think he forgot to mention that the Charrog weapon UE doesn't work with The Skullforge. I tried it once in the Training grounds and one has to legit spend stamina instead of use attacks that use stamina. It most definitely needs to be fixed.
it was created after another game in the same genre so it must be a clone. the memes that makes sense are about the bugs in dauntless but with time the severity of those bugs will decrease
OhDough: Shrike sword...like, who's using that, who is using that unironically Me who has used the shrike sword to beat the Valomyr to get valomyr sword to getting Hellion blades and Skarn blades: Cool like...I never wanted to use it anyway ;-;

@@OhDough hey but for real which legendary sword should I get for a iceborne tank build or should I stick with the boreus sword
@@KaFullah torg/boreus
@@OhDough out here spreading misinformation smh. Obviously training sword is the best
@@corgborg1288 ikr
Recruit Sword is so Strong that we afraid to fight with it.
If the valomyr sword's unique effect was reversed, meaning the lower your health the faster it charges, it would be top tier
Fucken true
And u must level up valomyr for the umbral escalation for the voidbane.
Yh but 10 sec for 550 dmg, meh it's still too slow
Why? Cant u just always be at 100% hp?
Personally I wouldn't really touch the part damage swords. They're actually really useful early game when needing to grind for behemoth parts. They aren't necessary ofc but they will actually save you some time creating a part damage build early on.
I always bring +6 sharpened with me to escalations. I want to break all it's parts for the chance of more rare parts.
Neutral needs a legendary behemoth that floats damage between or combines all of the elements in its attacks. If you look at the neutral weapons they have no weakness or disadvantages to any element. I'll bet if they made it an escalation & did it right the behemoth would be a beast.

This gave me an actual inception feeling.
How did he know 😧
Yes sir
Nope, i read this during his intro
@@CSCD1 I cant tell if your sarcastic or not
Where his exoctic sword
It would be in the meh tier
In the trash. You can even argue some of the swords in the "Needs Rework" section are better.

You definitely helped me in a lot of ways ohdough with this video, I had no idea that those ice bombs were coming from the pangar weapons, thx!
Lovely to see all these uploads.
When dauntless has content I have Bideos
Great video!
Just a little heads up, you got two different timestamps for the Pangar sword, the second one is where the boreus stamp should be! ;)
thank you
how come u didn’t mention the hunger i was waiting to see what you was gonna say about it
I'll probably make a seperate video on the hunger alone
Thanks for confirmation
Bro exactly
I think the Storm sword is one of the best, energized for the sword you can use so often and it's very useful in escalation just like the stormclaw axe
OhDough saying that his tier list is specific. OhDough also having a tier called meh. Yeah checks out
Real talk dough - if I'm going to use iceborn anyway does Boreus come out on top over Torg or Thrax?
If you're fighting blaze behemoths I'd say yes. Otherwise it's depends. I think that Boreus sword is much easier to make the most use out of compared to thrax/hellion. All three of them are pretty close though so it's kind of a preference thing when there's no elemental advantage involved.
Everyone: Embermane

Where would you put Hunger atm ?
He said in one video (i think its the blaze esca with revvy) it's still the worst sword in the game xD
No unique effect and its special is not that good. It gives you decent lifesteal and little more dmg but at the cost of rAPIDLY DRAINING YOUR HP lol. So yeah, Valiant Overdrive is still better than The Hunger's imo.
It really is trash, the special is no better than the basic one and you're constantly draining health. But hey, the dodge looks amazinh
At 10:07 how did u get ur health lower
use the hunger sword
It would be sick if Nesca was a different kind of escalation, with the boss being a sentient suit of armor that wields a sword, of course the sword you’d build with its parts would be the decked out recruit sword.
is there an updated list? I know there were a couple changes like the karaback sword getting the passive
0:18 cute/adorable. 0:20 pure evil.
When i just started the game, i used Cry of the Shrike only LUL. i'm talking about the time when there wasn't even radiant or umbral elements yet.
I see that subtle twitch plug and the "use code ohdough" tab lol
Aye, I'm chill w/ the shill
How would you rate the hunger?
Why am I only realizing now that the pangar sword looks exactly like wars sword from darksiders
Hear me out, if you bond the recruit sword to the neutral legendary, you take 30% more damage and deal 30% more damage
you take 100% more damage but deal 150% more damage
Wait, how did I not know about some of these unique effects? Did I literally never look at charrogg's sword description or even use it?
I think I need to go look at my weapons skills more closely, I would have loved that skill before I cared about endgame dps stuff...
Wow, I've never had a comment hearted before, thank you for all the help your videos have provided since I started watching them. I'm still working on trying to get top 100, but I'm sure when I do it will be because of one of your builds!
after leveling all swords to 15 should unlock a thicc reclute sword skin for the swords with the , sword master tittle
I’m kinda new to the game, so if this is a dumb question sorry. Anyway, I shouldn’t go for a weapon just for the elemental effect? Does it just not give enough of a bonus to damage or what? And should you ignore the elemental type for armor too?
I like OhDough as a dauntless-tuber but I kinda want him to play some other games occasionally too.
I want there to be other games I can actually get into. My eyes are set on GodFall, I might mess around in Apex for season 5, Hyper Scape. I'll test the waters and see what goes down. It means a lot that you want to see me cover more than just dauntless content, thanks for that!
@@OhDough of course! All those games are great choices and are games that I would love to see content for. Especially Hyper Scape and GodFall.
what about bladestorm + acidic would that even work? also how did you get your health lower at 10:02
Maybe using the hunger special and then switching back to different sword. Not sure though :)
Yup
bro ohdough how do you do that block with sowrd and slash thingy?? plz tell me!
all the swords ive used are in rework teir... not mad tho, thanks for advice
also I saw that use code ohdough tab
What do you think of the hunger sword is it any good
Hey dough
Can u do a build for the koshai sword focussing on high damage bladsurge cos I think it would be really dope and fun.
And by the way keep up the good work and thank you teaching me dauntless

OhDough can u give me advice i have hunger sword what would u rank that one?
Are we gonna see an updated video to this soon?
this is still accurate, the notable change is pangar getting a unique effect and it's now an S tier weapon
I ask because chronovore and Urska blade was not listed.
what lantern do you recommend for a sword build? also what mod and special move do i use?
Drask lantern is my goto. Special is AO/valiant overdrive. Mod is usually recrusive hilt since it's easy to use and pretty solid.
@@OhDough wow thanks for answering do quick
Also is the malkarion sword worth powersurging?
So, if i had the option, would i choose legendary swords over the Dummy Thicc Damage swords? for example, Targadaros sword. Would it be better to use that instead of boreus?
Element matters more now so it depends on what you are fighting. Soon we will have frodt escalation and a legendary frost weapon
I did not see The Hunger unless I missed it. That should be a Legendary because of the effect. When I started playing awhile back the chain blades were my go to. Then I moved onto the repeaters which are great as well. When the strikers came out, I have been all about them until recently I switched to The Hunger and I am loving the lifesteal it is great!
I think the bees idea would actually be pretty neat as an exotic like how the molten edict gives you the charrogg fireballs
Im late but perhaps in a different qeapon type since theres already the hunger for swords, might be cool for strikers, or chainblades
Skarve sword could be linked to the aeo.. when putting down the aoe you also lay down X mines with 15 sec cd
Dough should make a speed build for races in ramsgate XD
I lmao at #15:07. 😂
This guy so funny whenever he tries to be.
Would the charog sword be able to stack with the legendary fire helmet that gives stamina for attaching?
If you ever come back can you do tier lists for each weapon type?
love how the pangar meta came out soon after this
Does this tier (and every other tier of other weapons you did) still work now?
Pangar is god tier now. Nothing else really changed
@@OhDough ok thanks!
May I ask which sword would you bond with Malka's one? Drask or Stormclaw?
Skraev sword could be almost or even top tier if paired with evasive fury and had its unique effect only happen after a behemoth attack dodge
It is 100% nowhere near top tier for sword. Pangar Sword is (for shorter fights)
the whole time while i was watching this, i was thinking about geckos ._.
edit: also like how on top of his screen, it says "use code ohdough" to spare you time, here is the timestamp: 4:24
What's your main armor that you use for all monsters
IMO I really think they should make all Legendaries have prismatic slots not just the new ones. The hunger, The godhand, Prismatic grace etc.
Oh yeah how do you use the valours on ps4 when you have cyclonic fury?
Im playing sword like one week and starting to see the chain blades have bigger mobility obviously but damage also greater, so whats the point of sword then?
I just have one question, how good is agarus weapons?
If you had to put the hunger on this list where would it be?
How do you get the legendary swords, I can't find them in crafting
You need to unlock them
How did you get the discipline cell
Guys I need help, there is this thing I can't find where it makes the slayer super sayan rainbow ,what is it and how do i get it ??????????

@@physicalconstant1346 oh thanks man
I think one of the segment is named wrong... that last ice sword is boreus sword is it not?

How did u make ur hp low in the freakin tRAINING GROUNDS :
