November 10, 2018

This is Star Ocean: Anamnesis List of Greatswords 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
Caliburn [4-stars base]	471	466	Imbues Attacks w/ Earth Element +5% ATK None	N/a	Transmute Gacha	Earth Weak Bosses	The only greatsword available for earth imbue at the moment. Comes with a bit of scaling ATK to help round off the pain of being a 4* base.
Durandal	516	511	+15% ATK Absorbs 10% of DMG Dealt by Normals +10% DMG	5	Coin Exchange Transmute	Non-elemental, A2 synergy	Decent non-elemental GS, should be a transmute for A2 users in particular due to its innate lifesteal. Gives a decent set of factors which help make up for potential lackings in public parties.
Tyrfing	651	648	+15% Single Target DMG -10% AP Cost -10% DMG Taken	5	Coin Exchange Transmute	bad/10	Its factors aren't bad, but the ST damage doesn't make up for the sheer stats it lacks compared to Durandal.
Type-4O Blade	862	857	+20% DMG to YoHRa Arms XII +50% AP RCV on Normals -10% ATK DMG Taken	5	Geared Wisp Event	A2/10	If you miss out on the gacha weapon, this is likely going to be a reasonable replacement and a good neutral / off-element choice. Innate AP recovery, some defensive mitigation and gacha level base stats. Overall just a solid neutral.
Beastlord	963	958	Imbues Attacks w/ Light Element -10% DMG Taken -10% AP Cost	5	Gacha (Limited)	Light Weak Bosses King of Beasts/10	Excellent greatsword, considering it's the only light imbued GS and it's limited. The factors aren't anything special, but given that this element is locked to a hard-to-obtain weapon makes this valuable if you get it. Not much else to say, GS is a young weapon even on JP.
