[Guide] Swords, Odachi's, and Axes

[misterbean]

Ichimonjimuneoki can be found on Izumo (The cave that is full of monsters that shoots linear AoE ice) the cave nearest to Kyoto

Also, what can be a good skill combos to look for sword?
I currently used +70 lv19 sword with Lunge V and Empty Sky IV and a +50 Durandal with a hit n run Getsuga Tensho IV. If i got lucky and can upgrade my Ichimonjimuneoki again, do I really need to evolve lunge step to IV or V?

Flare is fire damage with a chance to burn the targets. The others I haven't come across yet so I can't say.

Even ranked Avidya has fire element. Odd ranks don't. Other than that, the extra words at the end are just to be fancy.

[OminousClouds]

Oh really no difference at all huh

[Lifariz]

Mechanics wise, yes. But SoA gets insane damage bonuses per rank up compared to one below.

Really liked this thread since it was very informative

Updated on how to actually grind with Pow weapons. Oh and Sword of Avidya max rank is IV, so don't get it if you're planning to VI VI VI your weapon.

So, for the skill build for odachi users in general... do I just flat out max my pow? Or are there good stats I should drop points on?

Until you reach around 90+ total(base+bonus) POW and have attained the desirable Date Masamune Title or any of it's equivalent.[+60% Affinity to all title] then yes. Due to the 3000 affinity cap(4k at lvl100 or 110, not sure) you're very much limited on how much pow would be actually useful. I'm lvl65 and I have 106 spare stat points despite having 82+17 pow and 30+12 mnd.
