Synergies
Instinct of the Master of Arms can be reliably activated by Frantic Sword due to its fast attacks and consistent critical hits.
Notes
- The Frantic Sword becomes more viable on 5BSC due to malaise being able to activate the crit condition more reliably and safely than being under 50% HP.
- The legendary affix of Frantic Sword '1% HP recovered per melee attack, up to 50%’ will heal to exactly half HP when you have an even number of HP, allowing you to crit; if you have an odd number, it heals to one HP more than half HP, getting rid of the ability to crit.
Trivia
- In earlier stages of the development of The Baguette Update, this weapon was named Scavenger, which was a direct translation of the original French name for this weapon, Charognarde.
- The mistranslation is still present on the steam trade card.
- In the front cover image of physical copies of the game, a Frantic Sword can be seen next to the right hand of the Beheaded.
- The modifier "1% HP recovered per melee attack, up to 50%" is exclusive to this weapon.
