Saishi
Saishi is a Legendary sword known for fast attack speed, solid damage output, and a rare utility among swords: it can stun even Blade-type users. In the Second Sea, it stands out as a strong close-range option that rewards aggressive, timing-based play. Its kit makes it reliable for chaining pressure in fights where landing hits consistently matters more than range or complexity.
Its main strength comes from how quickly it can apply pressure while still interrupting opponents’ movement, which gives it an edge in PvP situations compared to many early and mid-game swords. The stun effect is especially valuable because it can break through certain defensive interactions that normally allow enemies to reset spacing. This makes it effective in skill-based builds where players rely on precise combos and tempo control rather than raw burst alone.
Despite its performance in the Second Sea, Saishi falls off later in progression. In the Third Sea, stronger and more flexible swords quickly outclass it in both damage potential and overall utility, making it a temporary endgame option at best. It can still appear in niche or skill-focused setups, but most players eventually replace it once higher-tier alternatives become available.
Obtainment:
Saishi can be purchased for $2,000,000 from the Legendary Sword Dealer in the Second Sea.

Both skills can be countered with Instinct dodging, reducing reliability in skilled PvP
High mastery requirement for early progression users
