Sword of the Wise is a Royal Arm Weapon.

How to Obtain

The first Royal Arm you get in the main story (Chapter 2). The tomb is located in northern Leide and is above ground.

Movesets

  • Basic combo: The combo starter is VERY powerful, has long reach and is fast. It also looks like a warp strike (but isn't). The rest of the combo is nothing impressive.
  • Backwards + O: Noctis will jump away from the enemy and begin aerial combo.
  • Aerial combo: Warp opener, followed by a single slash. The warp opener is similar to its ground counterpart but only does high damage point-blank.
  • Phase-counter: A normal slash.
  • Warp strike: Normal warp strike with a single followup slash.
  • How to use: Spam the ground opener. It does stupidly high damage for its speed. Use the manual dodge roll to avoid using the phase-counter. This is the king of hit and run weapons.

Additional Information

  • Adds an overhead swing follow-up to warp-strikes, making it two hits instead of one. The second hit does more damage than a regular swing, but not by much. Invincible the entire animation.
  • Replaces broadsword backflip animation with a backwards airstep that does not consume MP.
  • Replaces aerial combos with a singular stab that does considerable damage and a weak follow-up swipe.
  • Attacks at range, rather than warping in to start a normal combo like with regular broadswords, performs a stronger version of a close-range warp strike. Does not consume MP, so it basically acts as a free close-range warp strike.
