Compare Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Swords

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's talk swords in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. You might be looking at the 'Grandfather' sword and wondering why it's listed as 'One-handed' when it looks like a massive Great Sword. That's exactly what makes it so special! Most Great Swords are two-handed, but this unique beauty isn't. In my opinion, it's hands-down the best weapon, and possibly the best item, in the entire game. It even fetches the highest price for a unique item at 29,950 gold, far more than any other unique item even gets close to.

To help you figure out what's what, here's a breakdown of some of the swords you'll come across:

Type	Name	Traits	Damage	Durability	Requirement	Hand
bat	Baranar's Star	Altered Dur, Fast Attack, Dex:-4, Vit:+4, Dam:+80%, TH:+12%	1-10	60	str:23	1
	Celestial Star	Armor:-8, Dam:+10, LR:+20%	2-12	36	none	1
	Civerb's Cudgel	Dex:-5, Mag:-2, Dam:+200% on demon	1-8	32	str:16	1

	Shaefer's Hammer	TH:+30%, Dam:+100%, Lng Dam: +1-50, Rlng:+75%, HP:+50, LR:+10%	5-9	50	str:40	2

Tips

Keep an eye on the 'Reqment' column – you'll need the specified Strength (str) or Dexterity (Dex) to even wield some of these.
Durability (Dur) is important! Items with 'inf' durability won't break, which is a huge plus for long fights.
Pay attention to the 'Traits' – things like 'Fast Attack', 'Dam:+X%', or 'on demon' can drastically change how a weapon performs.
The 'Grandfather' sword, while not listed here, is a unique Great Sword that's surprisingly one-handed, making it incredibly powerful and valuable.
