All Swords and Weapons in Universal Piece Ranked

While many consider the Monarch Daggers the top sword in Universal Piece, not all mid-to-late game swords hold their own as you might expect. Below, I’ll dissect each sword in the game using 10,000 weapon stats and no Haki or accessories. The Monarch Daggers arguably sit in an SSS-Tier, outperforming both the Flash Katana and Dual Sword. However, I’ll place them in S tier for this analysis. A-tier weapons are remarkable and worth discussing further, while B-Tier options are suitable for beginners. C and D-Tier weapons should be avoided or replaced as soon as possible.

Ranking Reason & Notes
How to Get
Monarch Daggers
• The best sword in Universal Piece, significantly outdamaging both the Flash Katana and Dual Sword. • Combines high DPS, burst damage, range, mobility, and manageable cooldowns. • Ideal for PVE farming and PVP due to its extensive area of effect. • Z has an Air Variant; X move boasts the highest damage of any weapon.
0.85% drop rate from System Breaker Boss at Solo Island and 3% drop rate from Red Knight Boss.
Flash Katana
• Similar to Dual Sword in DPS, making it a strong contender for the second-best weapon. • Flash Katana features higher damage but slower cooldowns compared to the Dual Sword, balancing both sides. • Its X move deals impressive damage. • Consider using Dual Sword or Monarch Dagger for a less laborious grind.
Talk to the Flash Master NPC on Solo Island after acquiring 10,000,000 Bounty.
Dual Sword
• A glance at Flash Katana shows shared DPS, with low cooldowns and decent overall damage making it perfect for sustained PVE encounters. • Offers great range for combat.
4% drop rate from Dual Sword Master Boss at Solo Island.

Dark Blade
• Not worth purchasing for Robux due to mid-tier performance. • Offers decent damage but needs improvement if it’s to justify its cost.

Bisento
• Better damage than Smoke Pole, but it’s obtained later in the game. • Could benefit from buffs in damage and range; currently, its price is high for what it offers.
