August 4, 2018

This is Star Ocean: Anamnesis List of Blade & Sheath which is updated depending on the current meta of Global version.

You can use the list as your reference. This list and all of description and/or analysis are not absolute since this is still based only on community/personal assessments and calculation.

Note to players:

Gray colour indicates a limited-time weapon.
Atk/Int stats are derived from the weapon at level 20.
LB Factor Level is the limit break level at which the third factor is unlocked on the weapon (if applicable)

Name	ATK Stat	INT Stat	Factor	LB Factor Level	Obtain	Use	Notes
Murasame	545	0	ATK + 15% Bloodstorm Revolution Damage +20% Taunt +1	3	Launch Coin Shop B&S Coin Shop Gacha	Victor (Skill) SMyuria (Skill / Taunt for aggro)	A great choice from the launch shop if Victor was your starter pick. Boosts his main use ability, gives scaling ATK and taunt boost at mlb. Despite not having an element, very solid weapon.
Searing Sword	840	842	Imbues Attacks with Fire Element Vampric Flash Damage +20% None	n/a	B&S Coin Shop Gacha Transmute	Victor (Skill) Shimada (Skill) Fire weakness bosses (Frost Tree)	Excellent pick from the coin shop given its immediately useful element imbue. Falls a bit flat on other stats, but carries itself solely on its imbue.
Demon Saber	835	836	Dark Damage Dealt +15% Mirror Blade Damage +20% None	n/a	B&S Coin Shop Gacha Transmute	Victor (Skill / Element) Stephen (Skill / Element)	Not great except for its base stats, boosts Dragon Roar slightly.
Mizuchi	530	0	ATK + 15%, DEF -15% Dragon Roar Damage +20% None	n/a	B&S Coin Shop Gacha Transmute	Victor (Skill) Stephen (Skill)	The ATK up DEF down usual, average substitute for the unconditional weapon from transmute pool.
Eldar Lord Rapier	475	476	Dark Damage Dealt +30% Cursed Reaping Spark Damage +20% INT +20%	5	Frost Tree Coin Shop	Faize (Skill) Pretty much just Faize.	Faizes BiS weapon. This weapon is 100% futureproof and is a neccessity for any Faize player. It syncs perfectly in his kit, and it's limit break effect allows him to reach incredible levels of INT. There is never a better weapon for Faize, and this weapon is what allows him to remain relevant for a long time.
War Gods Brand	850	848	Multi-Target Damage +20% Dragon Roar Damage +20% Damage +10%	3	Gacha	Stephen (Skill) Victor (Skill) Not recommended	It's bad. Don't pull for this. Skill buff is useless, and its damage type is useless, given low attacking stats on our current defenders.
Bluewave Sword	531	529	Thunderfire Slice +20% damage Taunt +1 DEF +10%, if being targeted by enemies	5	Everlasting Summer Part 1 Store (Predate Queen)	SMyuria (Rush) Keep if lacking Murasame	Summer Myuria's event weapon comes, expectedly, with DEF and Taunt, which she greatly appreciates. The only other taunt weapon is Murasame, which also does well. If you have it, it works slightly better, double-scaling with SMyu's aggro-based ATK buff, but overall this will work great if you don't.
Ryugu-Maru	963	964	Gain Thunder Attribute Absorb 15% of Damage Dealt by Regular Attacks as HP ATK Based Damage Taken -10%, if being targetted by enemies	5	Gacha	sMyuria (Synergy) Lightning weak bosses (Jie, etc.) Very good sheath would pull /10	This is a monster BnS, not just for sMyu, but for any general user. This will be a must-pull for any BnS user for the most part. Don't kill your gem pool for it, but with lifesteal as a 2nd factor, it's very solid. If you get to 3rd factor via luck, the ATK damage down doesn't hurt either.
Augaus	861	859	Diabolic Whirl +30% damage AP cost -10% Absorb 10% of Damage Dealt by Regular Attacks as HP, if being targetted by enemies	5	Marezeria Coin [Blue] Event Shop	Victor (Skill) Average/10	It's okay. It does have better stats than the Blue Wave, but doesn't really have as much synergy. sMyuria is the best candiate for needing the AP cost, but it boosts Victor's rush. Overall very weird, can be usable if lacking Murasame, or don't need the Taunt from Blue Wave. Victor probably prefers Searing overall. Lifesteal with aggro is very useable though.
Hyouga	586	582	ATK +15% Imbue Attacks with Ice Element Absorb 10% of Damage Dealt by Regular Attacks as HP	5	Gacha	All Sheathe Users fenrir/10	The only ice sheathe for quite a long time, and it has great factors overall. +15% ATK brings its stats up closer to the modern powercreeped global weapon levels, and if you somehow manage to MLB it (never recommended unless whaling), you also get HP drain. A great weapon and definitely worth pulling for a copy of.
Devil's Saber	478	474	Absorb 5% of Damage Dealt by Regular Attacks as HP Crit Rate +4% INT Damage Taken -5%	5	Event Shop (Michael)	Transmutation Fodder bargained with the wrong devil/10	Sucks the life from those it slices and incites its bearer to kill. 478 474 5 It gives a decent set of talents, too bad they're almost too low to matter. Lifesteal is decent even at 5%, if you really want to hold on to this, but otherwise best as fodder.
Daikiga Iwato	491	489	Unbridled Double Slash +10% Damage Damage dealt to demons and humanoids +15% ATK +5%	5	Executioners (Event Shop) Executioners (Achievement)	Transmutation Fodder nothing memeable/10	It's an event weapon. Fine if you have nothing, bad if you do. This one notably has two racials and a minor scaling ATK, so it might be worth holding onto if you're really picky about keeping weapons.
