Haze Seas has various of swords you can get spread across Seas 1, 2, and 3. Early swords like Katana and Shark Blade are purchased or dropped in Sea 1, while Sea 2 unlocks powerful options like Zenith, Enma, and Dark Blade V2 through boss fights and special events. Sea 3's strongest swords, Dual Dark Blade and 3SS V2, are crafted at Doran the Forge using rare materials and 300 Mastery.
Swords are one of three damage-dealing systems in Haze Seas, and each one comes with its own moveset that unlocks progressively as you raise Sword Mastery. Some swords also have V2 upgrades, stronger variants that require either boss drops or crafting materials, making certain early-game weapons worth holding onto longer than you might expect. So, this guide covers every sword across all three seas, how to get each one, and which are worth prioritizing for endgame progression.

What Are the Best Swords in Haze Seas?
Among all the swords in Haze Seas, some of them consistently pull ahead of the rest across both boss fights and PvP encounters. Below, we've mentioned the top picks and why each one is worth prioritizing.
| Sword | Why It's Worth Getting |
|---|---|
| Dual Dark Blade | The strongest endgame sword in the game, combining devastating DPS with strong performance across both PvE boss fights and PvP. The most resource-intensive sword to craft, but the result justifies the grind. |
| Dark Blade V2 | One of the best all-around swords at any stage of progression. Excellent DPS and attack speed that hold up throughout mid and late-game without requiring the full Sea 3 crafting investment. |
| Three Sword Style V2 (3SS) | The second-strongest sword overall, dealing excellent burst damage that clears endgame content effectively. Slightly below Dual Dark Blade but far more easy to get given the crafting requirements. |
| Zenith | A powerful sword with a guaranteed drop source. The Zenith Boss always drops it, making it easier to obtain than most swords at its power level. A strong stopping point while working toward Sea 3 upgrades. |
| Gryphon | One of the best PvP swords in the game, with three moves built around applying pressure and chaining combos. Also great in PvE due to its multi-move kit covering multiple ranges. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Katana is the first purchasable sword, available from the weapon shop on Starter Island. It comes with two moves, Sword Draw at Mastery 0 and Air Slash at Mastery 25, and is the go-to starting weapon.
Zenith is the best early Sea 2 target since it's a guaranteed drop from the Zenith Boss and is one of three swords required to craft 3SS V1. Enma is the next priority at a 10% drop rate, followed by 3SS V1 itself.
Gryphon is one of the more easy to get endgame swords, dropping from the Red Emperor at 5%. It's a significantly higher rate than Ace at 0.1% or Dual Dark Blade's complex crafting recipe. It also has strong PvP performance and a three-move kit that covers both close-range and combos.
