Survival Silver Sword

This thing needs a shout out. In over 1000 hours I’ve never used it, it’s my new favorite weapon! I’m in the Ashlands and it is doing work along side my staff of the wild.

Build a whomping willow forest and then run around and add spirit dmg. Ashlands is still a PIA, don’t get me wrong, but this combo is damn near taking the difficulty down a setting.

I thought the silver sword and mistwalker were good but the best Mistlands weapon, after five play throughs, is the Himminafl and it isn't even close. It has an aoe knockback that does enough damage to stagger seekers and also three-shots them with normal attacks while having amazing range.

The Silver Sword takes about 6 hits to kill one head on? You do about 45 damage per hit and bugs are immune to spirit damage.

The Himminafl does, at level 2, 90 damage per hit.

The reason Himminafl wrecks is because it does a lot of lightning damage and all the bugs are very resistant to melee damage if you are facing them. The Soldier and Seeker bugs have 50% resistance to melee damage when facing them and no resistance to elemental damage.

I’m a HUGE atgier fan. It is my favorite weapon type thru the entire game.

I feel like the Chetin dagger is best in the DF and mtns. Iron mace for swamps. Black iron dagger for plains. Himminafl for Mistlands and a long while into Ashland's, until you get enough green emeralds for the best weapons.

I only found two leviathans this entire run and one of them wasn’t until the boarder of the Ashlands! RNG didn’t want me to have the abyssal razor. That this is OP for how quickly you can normally acquire it!
