Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best sword in Sailor Piece right now?
Anti-Magic is the current #1 for F move damage (235B AOE, no mastery required) — introduced in the Anti-Magic Update (April 26, 2026). Shadow Monarch (S+ Mythical) remains the best sword for consistent AoE, PvP iFrames, and boss farming. Both are S+ tier. For Sea 2 players, Dragon Goddess (S+) is the top target tied to Sea Beast farming. Choose Anti-Magic for burst combos, Shadow Monarch for sustained pressure.
Is Anti-Magic or Shadow Monarch better?
Anti-Magic has the strongest single F move in the game (235B AOE) and no mastery requirement — the entire moveset (Z=24B / X=41B / C=71B / V=102B / F=235B) unlocks instantly. Shadow Monarch has superior sustained AoE, better iFrames, and is the PvP crowd-control benchmark. Anti-Magic wins on burst and ease of unlock; Shadow Monarch wins on consistency and meta longevity. Both are S+ tier — pick based on playstyle.
How do I get Dragon Goddess sword?
Dragon Goddess requires Sea 2 access (2 Ancient Fragments to unlock) and materials from Sea Beasts: Sea Serpent (~0.4% drop per kill) and Kraken (~0.465% drop per kill). Higher Bounty increases Sea Beast spawn rate. The same farm route awards the Dragon Queen title (+97.5% damage). Source: sailorpiecewiki, verified 2026-04-25.
How do I get the Shadow Monarch sword?
Shadow Monarch requires a progression chain: 1) Buy Jinwoo Sword (2,500,000 Money from Sailor Island Jinwoo Trainer), 2) Farm Jinwoo boss for Monarch Core, 3) Defeat Shadow Monarch boss in the Double Dungeon on Boss Island, 4) Get the sword from Shadow Monarch Trainer on Dungeon Island rooftop.
What sword should a beginner use in Sailor Piece?
Start with the Katana from Starter Island, upgrade to Ichigo Sword (S Mythical — obtained from Ichigo NPC on Hueco Mundo). The Ichigo Sword stays strong throughout mid-game and into endgame. After Ichigo, aim for Aizen Sword → True Aizen → Shadow Monarch as your endgame chain.
Is True Aizen still worth getting?
True Aizen (S, Legendary, damage 900) remains a strong endgame sword with the best damage-to-cooldown ratio in the game and fast attack speed. However, after the Atomic buff pass, it is no longer the #1 choice for pure PvP — Shadow Monarch and Dragon Goddess outrank it. True Aizen is worth getting if you are working toward the Aizen progression chain and not yet ready for the Shadow Monarch or Sea 2 routes.
