Sailor Piece has a huge sword list, but not every weapon is worth chasing right away. Some swords are amazing for early farming, some are mostly for collection, and a few become real endgame powerhouses once you reach Second Sea.

After testing these weapons through bosses, tower runs, dungeon clears, and regular NPC farming, one thing becomes clear: the best sword is not always the one with the flashiest animation. Cooldowns, AoE size, hitbox reliability, and unlock difficulty matter just as much as raw damage.

↖ Best Swords Tier List in Sailor Piece

This tier list is based on actual usefulness: farming speed, damage, cooldowns, AoE, accessibility, and long-term value.

The short version: use Griffin early, move into Ichigo or Ice Queen, then aim for True Aizen, Atomic, Anti-Magic, or Dragon Goddess.

↖ Best Sword Progression Route

If you are not trying to collect everything immediately, this route gives the smoothest progression.

If you feel stuck, the issue is usually not your level. It is often your weapon choice. A sword with better AoE can make farming feel twice as fast even if the raw damage difference looks small.

↖ Early Game Swords

Early swords are mainly stepping stones. Do not over-invest in them.

↖ Katana

Katana is the basic starter sword. It works for the first few enemies, but that is about it.

Katana only has simple skills, so once you have enough money, upgrade immediately.

↖ Dark Blade

Dark Blade is a solid early replacement. It deals better damage and feels smoother than Katana, but it still falls off quickly.

Use it if you are still new, but do not treat it as a long-term weapon.

↖ Griffin

Griffin is the first sword that actually feels useful for farming. Its AoE makes a big difference when enemies are grouped together.

If you are still using Katana or Dark Blade, Griffin should be your first real target.

↖ Mid Game Swords Worth Considering

This is where you should start thinking carefully. Some mid-game swords are worth it, while others are only useful for collection.

↖ Ichigo / Soul Reaper

Ichigo is one of the best early-mid game swords because it is practical and accessible. If you have boss tickets, it becomes even easier to obtain.

From experience, Ichigo is a great bridge weapon. It helps you farm better swords without needing a brutal grind first.

↖ Aizen / Manipulator

Aizen is decent, but the race requirement can slow you down.

If you already have Shinigami race, go for it. If not, do not burn all your rerolls unless you are planning to push toward True Aizen.

↖ Sung Jinwoo Daggers

The daggers look cool, but they are not very efficient as a standalone weapon.

Get them later if your goal is Shadow Monarch. For pure progression, there are better options.

↖ Rimuru / Slime

Rimuru has nice skills, but the unlock path can be frustrating.

If you enjoy collection, Rimuru is fine. If you want fast power, skip it until you are stronger.

↖ Best First Sea Swords

These are the swords that feel most useful before Second Sea.

↖ Ice Queen / Esdeath

Ice Queen is one of the best First Sea weapons because the skills are practical. The range is strong, the AoE is reliable, and the V/F skills are excellent for farming.

If you want one sword to carry you through a lot of content, Ice Queen is a safe pick.

↖ True Aizen

True Aizen is grindy, but it is worth it. The cooldowns feel good, the damage is reliable, and the F skill is strong without being painfully slow.

This is one of those weapons where the grind actually feels justified once the full kit is unlocked.

↖ Atomic

Atomic is still a strong meta-style sword. It has good AoE, strong skills, and a very satisfying ultimate.

If you can handle the quest chain, Atomic is a great choice.

↖ Abyssal Empress

Abyssal Empress is great because you can farm it naturally through Infinite Tower.

Some hitboxes feel a little strange, but overall, it is a strong and accessible weapon.

↖ Best Second Sea Swords

Second Sea swords are a major power jump. If you already have access to Second Sea, these should become your main goals.

↖ Dragon Goddess

Dragon Goddess is a strong burst weapon with one of the coolest F skills in the game. It is especially good for bosses and high-HP targets.

In testing, Dragon Goddess had excellent burst damage, especially on its F skill. The downside is that Sea Beast farming can take time.

↖ Anti-Magic

Anti-Magic is one of the best overall swords right now. It has strong AoE, good damage, and a clear farming route through Crystal Defense.

If you want the strongest practical sword to chase in Second Sea, Anti-Magic should be near the top of your list.

↖ Swords You Can Delay or Skip

Not every sword is bad, but some are not worth rushing.

This does not mean these swords are useless. It means they are not the best use of your time if your goal is faster progression.

↖ Best Swords by Goal

Different players need different weapons. Here is the simple breakdown.

If you are unsure what to chase next, pick based on your current content. For example, if you are farming Tower, Abyssal Empress makes sense. If you are pushing Second Sea, Anti-Magic gives better long-term value.

↖ Practical Tips Before Grinding a Sword

Before spending hours on a weapon, check three things.

↖ Check the F Skill Requirement

Some swords are much weaker without their F skill. Others require a specific race, clan, boss clears, or dungeon clears.

If a sword needs a race you do not have, then prepare for rerolls before committing.

↖ Check Whether the Sword Helps You Farm

A sword with a beautiful animation but poor AoE will slow you down. Farming weapons need range, low cooldowns, and reliable hitboxes.

That is why Griffin is great early, Ice Queen is great in First Sea, and Anti-Magic is great in Second Sea.

↖ Do Not Chase Collection Before Power

Collecting every sword is fun, but it becomes much easier after you already have a strong farming weapon.

A good route is:

This saves time and makes the grind feel much less painful.

↖ FAQ

↖ What is the best sword in Sailor Piece?

The best overall sword is usually Anti-Magic because it has strong AoE, high damage, and a clear Second Sea farming route. Dragon Goddess is also top-tier, especially for burst damage.

↖ What is the best First Sea sword?

Ice Queen / Esdeath is one of the best First Sea swords. It has strong AoE, good range, and useful skills for farming. True Aizen and Atomic are also excellent choices.

↖ What sword should beginners get first?

Beginners should replace Katana quickly and aim for Griffin. It has much better AoE and makes early farming easier.

↖ Is Ichigo worth getting?

Yes. Ichigo is a strong early-mid game sword, especially if you can get it through boss tickets or Hollow Island materials. It is a very good bridge into stronger weapons.

↖ Is Rimuru worth the grind?

Rimuru is decent, but the requirements are annoying. If you are still progressing, it is better to get Ice Queen, True Aizen, or Abyssal Empress first.

↖ Is Shadow Monarch worth it?

Shadow Monarch is strong, but the grind is long. It is worth getting later, especially if you are collecting swords or already have the required progression.

↖ What is the best sword for AFK farming?

For early game, use Griffin. For First Sea, use Ice Queen or True Aizen. For Second Sea, use Anti-Magic.

↖ How do you get Anti-Magic?

Anti-Magic comes from Crystal Defense on Punch Island in Second Sea. You can get it as a drop or work toward it with crystal coins.

↖ How do you get Dragon Goddess?

Dragon Goddess comes from Second Sea sea content, mainly Sea Beast or Kraken-style encounters. It is strong, but the drop grind can take time.

↖ Summary

Sailor Piece sword progression is much easier when we stop chasing every shiny weapon at once. Start with simple upgrades, get Griffin for early AoE, move into Ichigo, then aim for stronger First Sea swords like Ice Queen, True Aizen, Atomic, or Abyssal Empress.

Once you reach Second Sea, focus on Anti-Magic and Dragon Goddess. These two offer the biggest power jump and are the best long-term targets for serious progression.

The smartest path is simple: get a sword that farms well first, then collect the rest later. That way, every future grind becomes faster, cleaner, and a lot less painful.
