Getting the Lightning Sword
To get the Lightning Sword (strongest early game weapon), go to South Fort during Chapter 1. Then, open as many treasure chests as possible to find the Lightning Sword in one of them. In addition to the Lightning Sword, you will also find gold and silver coins inside the treasure chests. One of the features of the Lightning Sword is its 15 Might that allows you to deal a fixed amount of magic damage, irrespective of your ATK rating. Therefore, it is a powerful weapon during early phases of the game. Despite being a melee weapon, you can also use its “Distant Bolt” War skill to hit enemies who are three tiles away. It is recommended to use this weapon with Alm. By combining the raw damage of the Lightning Sword and Alm’s decent HP, you will absorb most damage and easily kill enemies early in the game.
