Pole (1st Form)

Pole (1st Form) is a Legendary sword, but its performance falls well below what its rarity suggests. Despite its status, it is widely considered one of the weakest Legendary swords and is often compared to lower-rarity weapons in terms of effectiveness.

The sword suffers from very slow attacks, poor range, and high endlag, making it difficult to use effectively in both PvP and grinding. These drawbacks leave it heavily outclassed by most other swords available around the same stage of progression.

Because of its limited combat value, Pole (1st Form) is rarely used as a primary weapon. Instead, most players obtain it mainly as a requirement for unlocking Pole (2nd Form), which is significantly stronger and far more useful in combat.

Obtainment:

The Pole (1st Form) can be obtained from defeating
Thunder God in Upper Skylands.
