Sword decision tool
Choose a sword with the current overall, bossing, and progression board in view. The tool does not invent damage, drop odds, or upgrade requirements.
What this tool is for
A sword comparison is useful when you have a working weapon and a possible replacement, but you do not want to turn a vague tier-list memory into a costly detour. It turns the existing board into one direct, source-aware choice.
Choose the sword you use now and the sword you are considering. Then choose Overall, Bosses, or Progression. The tool reads those ranks directly; it does not combine rarity, move count, or a guessed price into a hidden score. That distinction matters because a sword can be a strong long-term target without being the right answer for the boss route in front of you.
The comparison is not a second tier list. It uses the same sword entries, rank fields, source notes, availability labels, wiki URLs, and local artwork already used by the site. When a source says less than players would like to know, the interface says less too. A missing exact damage value remains missing; it is never replaced with made-up precision.
Use this page while you are deciding whether to keep a starter weapon, chase a boss-drop route, or hold resources for a later progression target. The result gives you a fast direction, while the evidence links give you a place to check documented moves and obtainment context before your next farm session.
Why the choice matters
Weapon decisions create opportunity cost: time spent on an uncertain route is time not spent leveling, clearing the boss you can already handle, or saving a dependable next step in My Haze Seas.
Overall is a useful default when you want a broad answer. Bosses is more focused when your immediate question is whether a weapon supports a farming target. Progression is the practical lens when you are deciding what makes sense for your present route rather than what looks strongest at the far end of the board. Select the job first, then read the recommendation.
A higher tier does not erase an update-sensitive label. If a selected sword has limited evidence, a naming conflict, or an availability warning, the result becomes tentative. That is deliberate: a cautious answer is more useful than pushing you toward an item whose live route cannot be confirmed from the stored source snapshot.
After the tool points to a candidate, open the sword wiki entry and read the visible source note. If the choice involves a boss, use the Boss Drop Planner for route information that belongs there. Treat the comparison as the command deck that narrows the decision, not as a promise that a weapon will perform identically in every update, build, or encounter.
How to use it
Keep the comparison quick, then spend the extra minute on evidence only when the result could change where you farm or what you save.
Select the weapon you actually use. If you have saved a profile in My Haze Seas, load it instead of relying on memory. This keeps the comparison tied to your live planning state, not to an idealized future build.
Pick the sword that creates the decision. Keep reference-only entries hidden for normal route planning; reveal them only when you want historical or unavailable context. A reference entry is not a farming instruction.
Use Overall for a broad upgrade question, Bosses for a boss-focused route, and Progression for a practical next-step question. Read the full scorecard after the verdict so a strong lead in one column does not hide a trade-off in another.
Inspect the status badge, wiki link, and source note. If the direction still fits your route, set the selected sword as current in My Haze Seas. If the evidence is tentative, keep your present option and save the candidate as something to verify later rather than committing blindly.
Evidence and limits
The page is intentionally conservative. It compares existing categorical ranks, not raw combat telemetry, and it makes uncertainty part of the result instead of hiding it in a footnote.
An available sword can receive a live keep-or-use direction when its selected goal has usable rank data and its status does not require extra caution.
A lead with update-sensitive, needs-testing, or legacy context is useful for research, not a guaranteed reason to switch. Check the linked evidence before you spend materials or time.
Unavailable or unreleased entries stay visible only when you ask for them. They can explain the board, but they cannot become a recommendation to farm or replace your current weapon.
The tool does not estimate DPS, cooldowns, hitboxes, drop chance, mastery gates, or material requirements. Those values are only useful when they are documented and attributable; otherwise this page keeps the decision at the level the evidence can support.
FAQ
It places two entries beside the existing Overall, Bosses, and Progression ranks from this site’s sword board. The result also carries each item’s visible source status, summary, and wiki link so the comparison remains traceable.
No. Overall is a broad shortcut. If you are choosing a weapon for a boss route, the Bosses rank may be more relevant. If the next sword is difficult to route or its status needs a live check, use the result as a prompt to investigate rather than an automatic swap order.
Tentative means at least one selected entry is update-sensitive, needs testing, or has a legacy naming concern. The rank can still be useful context, but the site does not present it as a certain current-game result.
Yes, after enabling reference-only entries. Their documented board position can be viewed, but the verdict changes to Reference only instead of telling you to farm or replace a live weapon with it.
Open the item’s linked wiki card and, when the route is related to a boss drop, use the Boss Drop Planner. This comparison does not manufacture a drop chance, material list, damage number, or mastery requirement when the stored source data does not support one.
